    ITINERARY

     

    Day 1

    At 06.00 o´clock we will pick you up at your hotel and we go to km 82 by bus. From here, it will take us about 7 hours of hiking (13 km) to reach the first campsite in Huayllabamba.

     

    Day 2:

     

    Physically a tough day: 16 km and climbing 2 high passes. Warmi Wañusca, at 4200 meters, is the hightest point of the trek. Breathtaking and stunning! Included is a visit to the ruins of Runkurakay and Sayacmarca. We will camp in Pacamayo.

     

    Day 3:

     

    Today is a relatively easy one: we walk only 11 km and most of the route is flat and descending. We will also take time to visit the archaeological sites of Phuyupatamarca, Intipata and Wiñaywayna, the latter being our last campsite of the trek.

     

    Day 4:

    After breakfast, we depart for IntiPunco, the entrance of the old Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. This will take us about an hour and a half and it is an unforgettable experience to observe the ruins from that point. In Machu Picchu, we will have a guided tour of approx. 2 hours and in the afternoon we travel back to Cusco by train. Arrival time in Cusco is estimated around 9:00 p.m.
