- Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days 3 Nights Tour
On the first day of the tour, we will leave Cusco towards Km 82 to begin our trek. This will also be our first checkpoint. The first stage is a relatively easy walk on flat terrain until lunchtime. In the afternoon, we will walk another 2 hours towards Wayllabamba on gradual terrain until our campsite is located.
On the second day, leaving Wayllabamba, we will hike uphill until we reach the highest point of our Classic Inca Trail, the Paso de la Mujer Muerta at 4600 meters. This part of the Inca Trail will take approximately 5 hours (7 km). From there we will descend for another 2 hours until we reach our camp in Paccaymayu at 3600 meters.
On the third day of camping, we will hike for 1 hour up to Runkuraqhay and then 1 hour to the second highest point of the Trail, the Runkuraqhay Pass at 4,000 meters above sea level with an impressive view of the valley. We continue to Sayacmarka and arrive at Chakiccocha for lunch. In the afternoon, after 1 hour of hiking, we arrive at the Phuyupatamarka archaeological site, which is a landmark to know that we are already descending. Finally, we will go to Wiñayhuayna where we will arrive around 5:00 pm.
On the fourth day, we will begin our journey along a cobblestone path built by the Incas that connects directly to Machu Picchu. We will enter through the first checkpoint at Puerta del Sol, known as Inti Punku, where we will have our first glimpse of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and watch the sunrise over the citadel. Later, we will take a three-hour tour with an expert guide who will explain all the details of this incredible place.
Finally, we will have free time to enjoy on our own, before restarting the last stretch of the trek to Aguas Calientes. Once in Aguas Calientes, we will wait for the train to Ollantaytambo, where we will drive to Cusco.
