Day 1 Arrival - Cusco. City Tour
Assistance on arrival in Cusco and transfer to your
selected hotel. Free time to take a short rest to get
acclimatized to the altitude. In the afternoon, city
tour of Cuzco visiting the Main Square and Temple of the
Sun or Korikancha.
Then, drive out of the city to visit the Inca sites of
Kenko, Tambomachay, Puca Pucara and the impressive
fortress of Sacsayhuaman, built strategically on a hill
overlooking Cusco; famous for its enormous carved stones
joined with astounding precision to form the outer walls.
Some of these stones stand over 9m / 30ft tall, and
weight over 350 tons. Overnight at selected hotel in
Cusco.
Day 2: Cusco – Sacred Valley
Excursion to the "Sacred Valley of the Incas", a
succession of picturesque towns, agricultural terraces
and archaeological sites. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays, we’ll have the opportunity to bargain with
vendors or stroll at the Pisac's typical Indian market,
with a catholic mass service on Sunday (celebrated in
Quechua, the native language).
Lunch at a local restaurant in the Sacred Valley. In the
afternoon pass through Calca and Urubamba towns to
arrive to the Inca Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo,
which was built to guard the entry of this part of the
valley and protect it from enemies of the lower jungles;
consisting in a series of superimposed terraces of
carved stones accessed by long staircases.
We will have the opportunity to walk through the quaint
streets of the nearby town, religious and agricultural
centre during the Inca Empire, and get a clear idea of
the military strategy against possible invasions. On our
way back to Cusco we will visit the picturesque Andean
village of Chinchero where the remains of what was the
royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui lies. Admire its
well preserved Inca Wall at the Main Square, visit the
beautiful colonial temple built on Inca foundations,
with interesting frescoes on the portico. Back to Cusco
in the afternoon. Overnight.
Day 3: Cusco to Wayllabamba
Between 7:00 and 7.30am our private transportation and
staff will pick you up from your hotel. Most Inka Trail
treks begin at either Km. 82 on the railroad to Machu
Picchu, or the village of Chilca, which lies in the
Urubamba Valley downstream from Ollantaytambo, to which
it is connected by a dirt road. We start walking the
Inka Trail in a quite flat and beautiful walk along the
Urubamba River with a view of Mt. Veronica's snowcapped
peak in 5750 masl. We arrive to the village of
Wayllabamba. (L+D).
Total distance: 12 km (7,47 miles) Estimated walking
time: 5-6 hours
Maximum altitude point: 3,000 m (9,840 ft) Campsite
altitude: 3,000 m (9,840 ft)
Day 4: Wayllabamba to Pacaymayo
We wake up at around 6:00 am and after breakfast, we
begin the most difficult part of the trek, which
consists of an abrupt and steep ascent that stretches
for 9 km. From the campsites in the Huayllabamba valley,
the Inka Trail struggles up above the tree line to cross
the first and highest of the mountain passes between
Llactapata and Machu Picchu. At Huarmiwañusqa, more
popularly known as "Dead Woman Pass", the trail reaches
an elevation of 4198 m. Just above Runkurakay, the Inka
Trail becomes paved with stones and assumes the more
engineered nature for which it is justly famed, and
which characterizes it from here to Machu Picchu.
(B+L+D).
Total distance: 11 km (6,84 miles) Estimated walking
time: 6-7 hours
Maximum altitude point: 4,200 m (13,776 ft)
Campsite altitude: 3,500 m (11,480 ft)
Day 5: Pacaymayo to Wiñaywayna
This day is the longest but also the most impressive and
the most interesting, due the number of archaeological
sites and the lush cloud forest area that we cross, so
rich in Andean flora and fauna. From Pacaymayo we climb
to the second pass, the Abra Runkurakay (3970m/13022ft).
In the stretch of Inka Trail between Sayacmarca and the
next major ruin, Phuyupatamarca, trekkers will find some
of the most impressive Inka trail engineering. After
breakfast we continue towards the third pass. This part
of the Inka Trail is very beautiful with cloud forest,
orchids, ferns and a colorful birdlife. At this point
the Inka Trail is quite extraordinary with semi-carved
tunnels and perfectly placed stones. After lunch we
start the long descent to Wiñay Wayna, the place of our
last campnight. (B+L+D).
Total distance: 16 km (9,94 miles) Estimated walking
time: 8 hours
Maximum altitude point: 3,900 m (12,792 ft)
Campsite altitude: 2,650 m (8,692 ft)
Day 6: Wiñaywayna to Machupicchu.
On this fourth and last day we get up at 4.00 am to
leave Wiñaywayna an hour later and climb to the
Intipunku, or The Sun Gate in time for sunrise, where a
magnificent view will be printed in you mind; the
Sanctuary of Machupicchu, the "Lost City of the Incas".
From here we get the first glance of Machu Picchu
between the mountains on its saddle high over the
Urubamba River. We all meet at Machu Picchu at a decided
hour to make the tour of Machu Picchu. (B).
Total distance: 4 km (2,49 miles) Estimated walking
time: 2 hours
Maximum altitude point: 2,700 m (8,829 ft) Campsite
altitude: 2,400 m (7,872 ft)
