Inca Trail 4 Days / 3 Nights Machu Picchu Travel
Cusco is Peru's main tourist destination and one of the most important destinations in
the Americas. Known by the Incas as the "Home of the Gods," Cusco became the
capital of one of the largest pre-Columbian empires: the Tawantinsuyo. Its name in
Quechua means "Navel of the World".
Day 01: Cusco – Wayllabamba Machu Picchu Travel
Between 7:00 and 7:30 am, we pick you up at your hotel in our own private bus. We

2. then drive to Piskacuchu (2700 msnm), a community located on the 82 kilometer of the
Cusco – Machu Picchu railroad. Starting at this point, we cross the bridge and walk
along the left shore of the Urubamba River as it flows north-west along the Sacred
Valley.
Following the trail along a flat terrain, we arrive in Miskay (2800 msnm), to then ascend
and finally see, from the tallest part of an overlook, the Inca city of Patallacta (2750
msnm).
We continue trekking along the valley created by the Kusichaca River, gradually
climbing for about five hours until we reach our first campsite in the Wayllabamba
village (3000 msnm).
All along the way we will see spectacular views of the Vilcanota ridge on the opposite
side of the Urubamba River, where the impressive Veronica peak reigns at 5832 meters
above sea level. Not to mention the diversity of wild flora and fauna that can be found
all along the valley.
Day 02: Wayllabamba – Pacaymayo Machu Picchu Travel
We wake up at around 6:00 am, and after breakfast we leave Wayllabamba behind to
begin the most difficult part of the trek, which consists of an abrupt and steep ascent
that stretches for 9 km. Along this climb, the landscape changes from sierra to puna (a
dry and high area with little vegetation).
On the way to the first mountain pass, the AbraWarmihuañusca (Dead Woman´s Pass),
we see domesticated llamas and alpacas grazing on ichu, one of the few plants that
grow at that altitude.
We also cross an area of the so called cloud forest, which is the habitat for many
different kinds of birds like hummingbirds and sparrows and the Andean bear, which is
also called the Spectacled Bear (TremarctusOrnatus).
We advise that on this day specially, your day pack is well stocked with candies,
chocolates and coca leaves that will keep your sugar level high, and help with altitude
sickness. Immediately after the pass, we descend into the Pacaymayo valley (3600
msnm), where we camp after approximately 6h of hiking.
Day 03: Pacaymayo – Wiñaywayna Machu Picchu Travel
This day is the longest but also the most impressive and the most interesting, due the
number of archaeological sites that we visit and learn about from our guide. From
Pacaymayo we climb to the second pass, the Abra de Runkurakay (3970 msnm).
Half way up, we visit the archaeological complex with the same name. This site,
located at 3800 msnm, consists of a small oval structure that is believed to have served
the purpose of a watchtower. After going over the pass, we descend towards
Yanacocha (Black Lagoon) and enter the cloud-forest to finally arrive at Sayacmarca
(3624 msnm).
This is a beautiful complex made up of a semicircular construction, enclosures at
different levels, narrow streets, liturgical fountains, patios and irrigation canals.
Continuing up an easy climb, we arrive at the third pass, the Abra de Phuyupatamarca
(3700 msnm). Along this climb we can appreciate the magnitude of the Incas´ ancient
craft, by walking along paths semi-detached from the mountain, and seeing rocks that
fill up ravines in perfect order, saving the trail from the multileveled Andean geography.

3. We go through an Inca tunnel to later arrive at the aforementioned pass and down to
the complex of the same name. This is one of the most complete and best-preserved
archaeological complexes along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and is located on the
highest point of a mountain. Curiously, Phuyupatamarca means ¨town over the clouds¨.
From above, one can observe a sophisticated sacred complex made up of water
fountains with solid foundations, and also impressive views of the Urubamba River valley
and the long descending stone steps along which we will continue on to Wiñaywayna
(2700 msnm). At this campsite we find a lodge with a restaurant, bar and bathrooms
with hot showers.
The campsite has the same name as the complex located only five minutes away from
the lodge. Wiñaywayna is an impressive complex made up of an agricultural center
with numerous terraces, a religious sector and an urban sector.
Day 04: Wiñaywayna – Machu picchu Machu Picchu Travel
On this fourth and last day we get up at 4.00 am to leave Wiñaywayna an hour later
and climb to Intipunku, or The Sun Gate. This will take an hour of hiking along a trail of
flat stones on the edges of cliffs in highland jungle. From this fabulous spot, we may see
the sunrise over the sacred citadel of Machu Picchu. From Intipunku we descend into
Machu Picchu, and 40 minutes later we enter the citadel from the highest point through
the ¨House of the Guardians¨.
We then descend to the control point where we register ourselves and leave our
backpacks. We immediately begin a complete guided tour of the Inca citadel that will
take approximately two hours. You will then have free time to walk around, climb the
Huaynapicchu Mountain, where one can experience spectacular views of all of Machu
Picchu, the valleys and mountains that surround it, or visit the Temple of the Moon and
the fabulous Inca Bridge. In the afternoon, we meet in the town of AguasCalientes
where, if you like, you can visit and relax in the thermal baths. From here we take the
train to the city of Cusco, where we will arrive after nightfall.
