We will begin our hike toward Santa Teresa. The first two hours of the trek will be a continuous ascent, surrounded by abundant vegetation and spectacular views of the Salkantay snow-capped peak and the Santa Teresa Valley. Along the way, we will have several rest stops where the guide will explain the local flora and fauna, more than 1,000 meters above the river in the heart of the jungle. We will then descend along the Inca Trail until we reach Quellomayo, where we will have lunch by the river and enjoy a short rest. Afterward, we will continue hiking for another two hours until we arrive at the Cocalmayo hot springs, and then head toward the capsule hotel suspended on the mountainside. This accommodation in Santa Teresa is the only one of its kind in the world: glass domes hanging from a cliff more than 500 meters above the river. This is a truly unique experience, sleeping in a mountain capsule with all modern comforts while observing the Milky Way from the comfort of your bed.
