Itinerary of your trip Inca Quarry Trek To Machu Picchu 3D/2N

  • Day 1 Day 1: Cuzco-Campsite, Peru
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Cuzco-Campsite, Peru

      Pass through Socma (3000m), Perolniyoc (3200m), Rayan-Niyoc Pass (3600m), 1st Pass (4400) spend the night at your campsite (L/D)

      We will pick you up around 6:00 - 6:15 am from your Cuzco accommodation, and drive towards the town of Rafca (2800m). Then we continue driving for another 30 minutes until we arrive at the village of Socma (3000m), the starting point of our trek. There, we meet the muleteer that will join us during the hike. After a short break and packing our things, we will begin trekking towards the Inca site of Perolniyoc (3200m). After about 2 hours and a half, we will reach Perolniyoc for lunch, and visit the beautiful waterfall as well as the archaeological ruins that lie at the top of the valley. We will go on for another 30 minutes until we arrive at Rayan-Niyoc (3600m). We’ll carry on up the valley making our way to the first pass on the trek, located at 4,400 meters above sea level. This area is still cultivated by the local people despite the high altitudes and we will see local people caring for their fields. After walking about 4 hours, we will reach the pass, stopping to take in the panorama and catching our breath. Another short 20 minutes descent will bring us to our first campsite. Get a good night’s sleep after a long day of trekking. Prepare warm clothes for the night as it can get very cold due to the altitude of the camp (4300m).

  • Day 2 Day 2: Campsite-Aguas Calientes, Peru
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Campsite-Aguas Calientes, Peru

      Trek through the 2nd Pass (4500m), Inti Punku, Choquetacarpo (3600m), Inca quarry of Cachicata (3820m) to Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (B/L/D)
      Get an early start today as you enjoy a tasty breakfast and prepare for another long day of trekking. From our campsite, we will walk about 1 hour and a half across the high plateau to reach the second (and highest) pass of the trek, located at 4,500 meters. Enjoy spectacular views of the valley below before heading down for about 3 hours to a site the Incas called Inti Punku (meaning Sun Gate), which also offers imposing views over the valley and the Veronica mountain rising over the horizon. Soon after, we will arrive at Choquetacarpo (3600m) where we will stop for our delicious lunch. Rested and full of energy again, we continue our descent to the Inca quarry of Cachicata (3820m), where we can witness the work of the Incas. It was the quarry used by the Incas for the construction of Ollantaytambo and there are various points of interest including several large buildings, quarried stones left half finished and abandoned throughout the site, chullpas (burial houses) and a cave with Inca mummies still in place. After exploring this site, we’ll continue our way down the mountain for about 3 hours until the small town of Ollantaytambo, the ending point of this challenging and fascinating trek. From there, take the train to Aguas Calientes. You will be met by your guide at the train station to take you to your hotel and give you indications for the next day. Check in to your hotel, have dinner and enjoy a well-deserved rest tonight.
