Day 5: Santa Teresa – Aguas Calientes (B, L, D)

From early we followed the way by the river Santa Teresa, passing by plantations of bananas, granadillas, cacao and coffee. Soon we crossed to the other side of the river and raised by the humid forest the passage of Puncuyuc, soon to descend to our camping in Paltallacta. The panoramic view is spectacular, because we will see from a different angle the back part of the Sanctuary from Machu Picchu. Then we descend by a route from flowers and orquídeas until the Acobamba River and crossed a metallic bridge near the hydroelectric power station. Soon we will arrive at the line of the train, where we can wait for the arrival of the train that took to Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel and we will relax in its thermal Baths (optional).
