Inka Trail – 4 Days

We begin our adventure with a transfer to Kilometer 82, the starting point of the famous Inca Trail, located along the railway between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes. Here, our trek to Machu Picchu begins. We head toward Llactapata, the first Inca archaeological site on the route, and then continue ascending to Huayllabamba, where we’ll spend the night.

After breakfast, we begin the ascent to the challenging Warmiwañusca Pass, the highest point of the Inca Trail. Once we reach the top, we descend to our campsite. This day is also special, as the route takes us through the majestic Queuña Forest, a unique Andean landscape full of life and beauty.

This morning, we begin an 8-hour hike, punctuated by several archaeological stops. It’s a day of trekking and time travel as we visit the Inca sites of Runcuracay, Sayamarca, Phuyupatamarca, and finally Wiñayhuayna.

After your discovery of the Inca citadel, you will take the bus to go down to the village of Aguas Calientes. The journey lasts approximately 30mn.

You will take the train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo. Then you will be picked up by the train company and will board a shuttle bus that will bring you back to the station of Wanchaq in Cusco. It is necessary to count 1h45 of journey by train then 2h of shuttle afterwards.
