Inca Trail To Machu Picchu 4 Days & 3 Nights

FIRST Day Cusco (3,300 m) – KM. 82 (2,800 m) – WAYLLABAMBA (3,000 m)

Early in the morning we pick you up from your hotel and then drive to kilometer 82 (2,800 mts / 9,200 ft) by bus. After passing the control, we will start the trek, on the banks of the Urubamba River, until we reach the important archaeological group Llactapata (2,740 m / 9,000 ft.), after llactapata we will go to the village of Tarayoc where full walk will take us approximately 6 hours (a total of 13 kilometers) until reaching the first camp in Wayllabamba (3,000 m / 9,843 ft).

The biggest challenge awaits us: 11 kilometers (6.84 miles) ascending to cross 2 very high passes, including Warmi Wañusca, with 4,200 m.o.s.l (13,779 ft). which is the highest point of the hike, which we will cross breathing with difficulty and surprised by the breathtaking panoramic views of two mountains and snowcapped mountains, and also the beautiful semi-tropical valley. We will camp in Pacay Mayu at 3,600 m / 11,811 ft.

THIRD DAY PACAY MAYU – WIÑAY WAYNA (2,700 m)

The third day, we will walk 16 kilometers, but most of the route is flat and with many descents, then this day is quieter. We observe how the geography changes, from dry and mountainous, to green and semi-tropical (jungle edge). The hike includes the view of the archaeological site of Runkurakay at 3,800 m.o.s.l / 12,467 ft. and Sayac Marca at 3600 m.o.s.l / 11,811 ft. On the way we will visit the archaeological site of Phuyu Pata Marca – “Fog level town” in the Quechua native language at 3,665 m.o.s.l / 12,024 ft, until finally arriving at Wiñay Wayna (2,700 m / 8,858 ft) where we will install our last trekking camp.
