We will leave the city seeing beautiful natural surroundings with rolling hills until the town of Chinchero overlooking the Sacred Valley at about 2700 m.a.s.l. Reach. After descending this mountainside we'll arrive to a brief stop at Ollantaytambo where we'll start the 46 km. uphill to the ABRA MALAGA (Mountain Pass at 4350 m.a.s.l) approx. At midday, the starting point again to our downhill, just in case the weather be not good for riding bikes due to haze, rain or snow, we'll go further down with the bus for about 30 minutes to the next place being the hamlet of Carrizales where we'll rest a bit and have lunch, after that we'll descend to the hot valleys of the high jungle towards QUILLABAMBA, this downhill will last about 5 hours, passing by little rustic villages, ravines, fruit groves and streams... the ancient Inka jungle trail, a rustic and rough road full of rocks and stones (with some steps on it), crossing the river using old Oroyas (Cablecar bridges) and footbridges... we can observe several wild animals of the region like birds (parrots, hummingbirds, jungle eagles, marakarakus, etc) and fruit & medicine plants like bananas, avocados, yuca, mangos, pineapples, oranges, pacay, tangerines, cacao, coffee and coca crops, etc... “the waterfall day” where we´ll pass many cascades and specially one falling from 45 m above being the smallest. The option is to get a shower in one of these.
