Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Schedule 4 Days / 3 Nights
1 DAY: CUSCO - KM 82 - HUAYLLABAMBA
2 DAY: HUAYLLABAMBA - PACAYMAYO
The second day of trekking begins right after a succulent breakfast. This will be a hard day since we'll have to climb up to 4200 masl, to Warmihuañusca Pass, where we will have a panoramic view of the mountain range to enjoy. After lunch begins our descent to the Pacaymayu Valley, and towards our second campsite.
3 DAY: PACAYMAYO - WIÑAYHUAYNA
Early in the morning, after breakfast and after a 30 minute trek, we will arrive to the archaeological site of Runcuracay. The original Inca trail begins at this point, a 2 meters wide, well preserved stone-paved road, where the high quality of the Inca architecture can be observed. We will visit the beautiful complex of Sayacmarka; after passing through a natural stone tunnel, we will arrive to the archaeological site of Phuyupatamarka. Our descent begins along a very interesting road surrounded by dense vegetation, very rich in flora and fauna. After 2 hours trekking we'll arrive at Wiñayhuayna, our third campsite.
4 DAY: WIÑAYHUAYNA - MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO
We start hiking very early in the morning until we arrive to the Intipunku, (Sun Gate), to a remarkable viewing point of the Inca city under the first sunlights. From there we will descend to Machu Picchu, to have a very detailed explanation from our guide about this important Inca complex. Later we will descend to the Aguas Calientes village to board the train that will take us back to Cusco city.
