A day earlier we will gather the group to meet and make a briefing of what the Inca Trail will look 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 the starting point of the hike, near the village 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 little difficult since it is on the ascent for approximately 13 kilometers. From the top we will appreciate the archaeological site of Llactapata. In our camp we will stop for a delicious lunch. Then we will continue 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.

On the 3rd we will wake up early to taste our breakfast and get ready for the walk. Because it is almost totally on the descent (about 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 the availability of time. 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 Ruins Bridge.

On the last day we will get up early to have a nutritious box lunch as we must start descending very early. Thus, we will reach Machu Picchu through the Puerta del Sol. Hopefully we can see the sunrise in the Inca city, one of the best experiences you can have.

Machu Picchu
We will descend to the Machu Picchu archaeological site 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 village of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu village) where we will enjoy lunch (not included in tour) and have free time to shop or know the place better. Finally, at the scheduled time, we will board our tourist train to head to the town of Ollantaytambo and then by tourist transport to the city of Cusco where the tour ends.
