Inca Trail 4 Days

Your adventure begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will travel to Km 82, the official starting point of the Inca Trail, where you'll complete the registration process before beginning the hike.

Along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful Andean scenery and visit the archaeological site of Llactapata, where your guide will explain its historical significance and its role within the Inca civilization.

After lunch, we will continue hiking to the Ayapata campsite, where you'll enjoy dinner and spend the night surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Andes.

After breakfast, we'll begin the most challenging day of the trek.

You'll ascend to Warmiwañusca Pass (Dead Woman's Pass), located at 4,215 meters (13,828 feet) above sea level, the highest point of the Inca Trail. From the summit, you'll be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Andean mountain range.

After taking in the scenery, we'll descend into the Pacaymayo Valley, where we'll enjoy lunch and spend our second night at the campsite.

Today's hike takes you through one of the most scenic sections of the Inca Trail.

You'll visit the impressive archaeological sites of Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca, and Wiñay Wayna while walking along original Inca stone paths surrounded by cloud forests, lush vegetation, and breathtaking mountain scenery.

After lunch, we'll continue to the Wiñay Wayna campsite, where you'll enjoy your final night before reaching Machu Picchu.

Early in the morning, we'll begin the final hike toward Inti Punku (the Sun Gate) to witness the unforgettable sunrise over Machu Picchu—one of the most memorable moments of the entire journey.

Upon arriving at the citadel, you'll enjoy a guided tour through its most important sectors, including the Main Plaza, the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Intihuatana Stone, the agricultural terraces, and many other remarkable Inca structures.

After the guided visit, you'll have free time to explore Machu Picchu at your own pace or, if previously reserved and subject to availability, hike Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain.

Later, we'll take the shuttle bus down to Aguas Calientes, where you'll board the return train to Ollantaytambo. Our transportation will then take you back to your hotel in Cusco.
