Itinerary of your trip 04 Day Classic Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Small Group Serv

  • Day 1 Piskacucho Km 82 โ€“ To Wayllabamba
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Piskacucho Km 82 โ€“ To Wayllabamba

      After breakfast in Cusco, we will board our bus for the 1.5-hour trip into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Upon reaching the end of the road, known as kilometer 82, we will briefly introduce you to our crew, and upon crossing the bridge at the Urubamba River, here begins our 4-day adventure. This first day is relatively easygoing and smooth as we move along visiting ruins such as the city of Patallacta. This ruin, constructed at the foot of a mountain, was a very important center that had administrative, economic, and religious functions. We will also visit Willkarakay, a military post located above the site of Patallacta.

      After visiting these two sites we will enter the lush valley of Wayllabamba, walking along the banks of the Cusichaca (โ€œhappy bridgeโ€) River, also observing the Inca terraces that belong to the previous archaelogical sites. Continuing our gradual walk upward through dense Andean forest, we arrive to our first campsite in Wayllabamba.

      Wayllabamba โ€“ Dead Womens Pass โ€“ Pacaymayu

      We will begin our day very early to reach at the end of the day the highest point on the Inca trail, the mountain pass of Warmihuaรฑusca (dead womanโ€™s pass).

      The trek in the morning is rather physically intense for those who are not accustomed to the high altitude, yet it is also one of the most spectacular. In the first part of the trail, we will walk approximately 1 hour and a half through the cover of a densely vegetated Andean forest until arriving at the campsite of Three Stones, where we will take a short rest.

      Continuing on our ascent, the habitat will begin to change as we enter the inter-Andean forest full of Unca trees, unique to this area. Two hours later we will arrive to another campsite, Llulluchapampa, where we will take an extended rest with snacks and hot drinks. From here begins the final ascent to the pass of Warmihuaรฑusca at 4,215 meters (13,829 ft), the highest point of the trek โ€“ a fantastic opportunity for panoramic views of the surrounding valleys below. Later we will descend a few hours to our final campsite in Pacaymayu for the night.

      Pacaymayu โ€“ Chaquikocha โ€“ Wiรฑayhuayna

      We will begin ascending about 45 minutes to the archaeological site of Runkurakay, which was in ancient times a โ€œTamboโ€, or type of resting lodge for ancient pilgrims. Another 45-minute ascent will take us to the second highest pass of the Inca trail, Runkurakay (3950 m, 12,959 ft), after which we will descend to the beautiful archaeological site of Sayacmarca, constructed in a strategic location. After a thorough visit, we will continue down the beautifully paved road to our lunch site at Chaquicocha.

      From here onward to Phuyupatamarca we will enter the high Andean cloud forest, a maravillous display of Natureโ€™s beauty. Here the trail continues a narrow ridge until arriving at the pass of Phuyupatamarka, a natural viewing area where it is possible to see the Sacred Valley and numerous mountain peaks, as well as our final destination of Machu Picchu. From here we will descend to our last campsite, passing a very important archaeological site and temple designated for offerings to the sacred mountain spirits of the area, as well as a large terraced area for agriculture. Slightly beyond is our campsite for the night, Wiรฑayhuayna.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Wiรฑay Wayna To Machu Picchu

      We will rise very early to complete the final stretch of the Inca Trail, which brings us to โ€œInti Punkuโ€ or the Sun Gate, the principal entrance of the crystal city of Machu Picchu. The trail here is fairly easy going and after about an hour we will arrive to Inti Punku, an awesome location to observe the citadel of Machu Picchu and, weather permitting, sunrise over the Andes.

      Afterwards, a 45-minute descent will take us into the higher area of Machu Picchu, a natural lookout point for the โ€œfamousโ€ classic picture and an opportunity for a group picture. Here we will enter as a group to the main entrance for registration before returning to the site for the main tour to learn more about this magical place of beauty and culture left by our ancestors. The tour will last approximately 2 hours, and then you will have time to explore the citadel by yourselves. The climb to Huayna Picchu mountain is optional (at an extra cost and must be booked in advance). In the afternoon we will descend by bus to the town of Aguas Calientes.

      You will meet your guide in Aguas Calientes for lunch and receive your train tickets for the return journey to Cusco. The train will arrive to Ollantaytambo where our Staff will pick you up to complete the rest of your ride by bus back to your hotel in Cusco.
