Itinerary

DAY 1 CUSCO - WAYLLABAMBA (L,D), 12km.
Our trek begins at the famous ‘km. 82’ footbridge. We’ll follow the Urubamba River, before a steady five-hour climb, passing by the ancient Incan site of Patallacta on route to our first campsite at Wayllabamba.
DAY 2 WAYLLABAMBA - PACAYMAYO (B,L,D), 11km.
An early start for what is the most physically demanding day of the Inca Trail trek. 9 km of steep steps lead up with great views along the trail. After reaching the high point of Warmihuañusca (‘Dead Woman’s Pass’) at 4,200m/13,776ft, we’ll hike downhill to Pacaymayo camp site.
DAY 3 PACAYMAYO - WIÑAYWAYNA (B,L,D), 16km.
Today starts at the Inca ruins of Runkurakay, an ancient, fortified guard tower. From here, we hike through misty, moss-covered cloud forest paths down to more impressive ruins at Sayacmarca and Phuyupatamarca. The trail continues along steep steps to the most impressive ruins so far: Wiñayhuayna, before finally reaching camp closeby.
DAY 4 WIÑAYWAYNA – MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO (B), 2km
A very early start today for your short hike to Inti Punku (the ‘Sun Gate’). From here, enjoy the early-morning sun rising behind our first sighting of Machu Picchu. Descending to the site itself, there are great photo opportunities. At the citadel, your Circuit 3B Royalty ticket provides access to the lower section of Machu Picchu, encompassing the agricultural terraces and urban sector, including the Water Mirrors, Pisonay Square, the Temple of the Condor, and the Sacred Stone. At around noon, you’ll head down to Aguas Calientes town and take the train to Ollantaytambo, before a transfer to your Cusco hotel.

Inca Trail Permits

The park authorities only allow 500 people (200 tourists and 300 trekking staff) to enter the Inca Trail network on any given day, so, it’s important to book well in advance (we recommend at least 3 months in advance to avoid missing out).

Trek permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Bookings are only accepted with the following information per person, and when full payment has been made.

  • full name
  • citizenship
  • date and place of birth
  • passport number

The authorities in Cusco do not accept changes to names or passport numbers. In case you get a new passport number (different to the one you gave us for confirmation) you need to show your old passport to the authorities in the control station in the start of the trail.

Once permits are issued, reimbursement of payment is not possible under any circumstance.

About Machu Picchu

  • Entrance tickets to Machu Picchu are personalized and have to be pre-purchased with full passport details of the visitor. Once issued, these tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
  • Each ticket is issued for a specific timeslot, during which you have access to enter Machu Picchu. For each timeslot there is a limited number of tickets allocated, which are sold first come, first served.
  • The visit to Machu Picchu is restricted to specific circuits which you´ll need to follow. It is not possible to re-enter the ruins with the same entrance ticket.

Level of Fitness

The Inca Trail trekking route is 26 miles (43km) long in total. While that may not sound too challenging spread over 4 days, don’t forget that you’ll be trekking at altitude over high mountain passes.

You must be in good physical condition to attempt the Inca Trail trail. It’s strongly recommended to to acclimatize in Cusco for at least 3 days before starting off. It’s also very important to drink plenty of water and/or coca leaf tea throughout.

For reference, the high point of the trek on day 2 is at an altitude of 4,200 meters/16,404 ft).
