The hike starts early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in Cusco between 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM, and the drive to Piscacucho, the starting point of the hike, takes about two hours. From there you cross the Urubamba River and enter the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Once you have passed the checkpoint, the trail leads through beautiful Andean scenery with snow-capped peaks and lush vegetation. You’ll also pass a few small Inca ruins, including Llactapata, which serves as a good warm-up for the ruins you’ll encounter later in the hike. The trail continues through the valley until you reach Wayllabamba where you can spend the night.
