Day 1:

• The day before we will gather the group to get to know each other and do a ‘briefing’ of what the Inca Trail will be like.
• On day 1 we will pick you up from the door of your hotel in Cusco. Then we will board our tourist transport to go to the starting point of the trek, near the town of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
• Accompanied by the tour guide, we will advance the first section of the Inca Trail, which is a bit difficult since it is ascending for approximately 13 kilometers. From the top we will appreciate the archaeological site of Llactapata.
• In our camp we will make a stop to taste a delicious lunch. Then we will follow the route until we stop at our first camp where we will have dinner and spend the night. The camps, chosen according to availability, are Ayapata, Wayllabamba, Llaqtapata or Llulluchapampa.

Day 2:

• In the morning we will enjoy a nutritious breakfast and then continue along the 11-kilometer route winding high mountains. In this section we will cross the Warmiwañusca pass, the highest point of the entire Inca Trail at 4,215 meters above sea level (13,828 ft).
• After an intense walk, in the afternoon we will stop at our shift camp where we will have lunch.
• Finally, depending on the camp chosen for the second night, we will walk a few more kilometers or stop at the same place for lunch. The camps available are: Chaquiccocha, Pacaymayo, Llulluchapampa or Phuyupatamarca.

Day 3:

• On day 3 we will get up early to enjoy our breakfast and get ready for the walk. Because it will be almost totally downhill (approximately 16 kilometers), it is one of the easiest days and surrounded by incredible landscapes of abundant vegetation.
• During the route we will visit the Inca archaeological site of Sayacmarca. We can also visit the archaeological site of Phuyupatamarca, depending on time availability.
• Then we will continue with the route until we stop for lunch. Then we will continue with the walk until we arrive at our designated camp for that day where dinner will already be served. The camps available for that day are: Phuyupatamarca, Wiñayhuayna or Puente Ruinas.

Day 4:

• On the last day we will get up early to have a nutritious box lunch since we must start descending very early. Thus, we will arrive at Machu Picchu through the Puerta del Sol. With luck we will be able to see the sunrise in the Inca city, one of the best experiences you can have.
• We will descend to the archaeological site of Machu Picchu in the company of our tour guide who will explain every detail of the famous citadel.
• After getting to know every corner of Machu Picchu, we will leave the archaeological site to take one of the buses that will take us to the town of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town) where we will enjoy lunch (not included in the tour) and have free time to shop. or get to know the place better.
