Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Arrive in Cusco and make your way to your starting accommodation. There are no activities planned for today, apart from a welcome meeting at 6pm, where you'll meet the rest of the gang and learn what we've got in store.

Get your adrenaline pumping today with an exhilarating mountain biking adventure at Malaga Pass. Enjoy out of this world views of glaciers, waterfalls, Incan sites and powerful rivers as you pedal through the pass - amazing.

This morning, we'll explore the town of Santa Teresa on a guided tour before getting ready for our adrenaline adventure! We'll be flying through the jungle on a zipline that reaches speeds of up to 70kmh. Later, you have the option to soak in the nearby hot springs.

Strap on your walking boots ready for a full day hike along the Urubamba River towards Santa Teresa. Take in views of lush jungle, coca plantations and orchards before heading to Aguas Calientes where you can soothe your aching muscles in the hot springs.

Tick a big one off your bucket list with an unforgettable day at Machu Picchu. A local guide will take you to the Lost City of the Incas and tell you all about its history. Looking around the misty emerald mountains, you'll have to pinch yourself to check you're not dreaming.

Take the full day hike to the colourful landscapes of Rainbow Mountain. The stripes of burgundy, gold and turquoise are so vibrant it's a psychedelic experience. Then head back to Cusco for one final night out with your new friends.

It's time to say farewell and continue your travels in Peru, or head to the airport.
