Our journey starts in Cusco, boarding a private bus and first visiting the ancient Ninamarca burial towers.

Next, we wind through the mountains to reach Paucartambo, a town rich in folklore and tradition.

After a brief stroll there, we head to Tres Cruces, the highest peak and the gateway to Manu National Park. Entering the Cloud Forest, our path leads us to San Pedro, where a one-hour hike offers glimpses of Peru's national bird, the Cock of the Rock, alongside various monkeys, plants, and flowers.

The day ends as we arrive at Pilcopata, settling in for the night at a cozy local lodge.
