Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days / 3 Nights

Trek the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu over 4 unforgettable days, exploring ancient Inca sites, breathtaking landscapes, and enjoying premier camping experiences.
DAY 1: WARM-UP DAY – CUSCO TO WAYLLABAMBA

Kicks off with an early morning from your hotel in Cusco. From there, we take a drive through picturesque villages along the way to the starting point of the Classic Inca Trail at PISQACUCHO, also known as Km. 82, where we will meet our team (porters), who will carry all the camping equipment and cook for you.

Our Classic Inca Trail 4 Days starts along a trail surrounded by cacti and a dry forest, with a view of WAQAYHILLCA mountain with 5,800 m / 19,030 feet of elevation (the tallest mountain along the Sacred Valley mountain range). After about two hours of hiking we will stop for lunch along the way.

DAY 2: CHALLENGING DAY THROUGH DEAD WOMAN’S PASS – HUAYLLABAMBA TO PAQAYMAYU

The hike begins around 7 am. This day is especially demanding because of the high altitude and the ascent to the highest point on the trail (Warmiwañusqa – 4,215 m / 13,776 feet).

The four hours of our hike wind through high-altitude jungle and all uphill, with beautiful mountain views. Once we reach the top of Warmiwañusqa or Dead Woman’s Pass (4,215 m / 13,776 feet), we descend to the campground at Paqaymayo (3,650 m / 11,975 feet), where we will spend the night.

DAY 3: JUNGLE HIKE – PAQAYMAYU TO WIÑAYHUAYNA

We undertake the longest stretch on the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, but in return, you will have amazing views, many Inca sites to explore, orchids along the way, etc. We start with an ascent to the second pass on the Inca Trail, Runkuraqay (3,450 m / 12,959 feet). After taking some time to rest here and take pictures, we descend to explore the Inca ruins of Sayacmarca before we head to our lunch spot. After lunch, we hike one and a half hours up and down and descend for about 3 hours towards the camp at Wiñayhuayna, where we will spend the last night.

DAY 4: MACHU PICCHU TOUR AND TRAIN BACK TO CUSCO

Today you will have the earliest wake-up call at 3:30 am, but you are not leaving the campsite until 5:30 am. So, after you pack and have the last breakfast (until 4:15 am), you will walk to the checkpoint that is just 5 minutes from your tents, where you will line up for more than one hour until the gate opens at 5:30 am. All that is because our porters have the train that leaves early from the bottom of the valley – it is the only train during the day, so they can load the camping gear back to Cusco. We thank you for your understanding.

Leaving at 5:30 am, you hike towards the Sun Gate, where you will have the first view of Machu Picchu. After that, you will descend for about 45 minutes down to Machu Picchu, where you will have a two-and-a-half-hour tour given by your guide. When you are ready to leave Machu Picchu, you will take a bus down to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town), where you can have a farewell lunch and a Peruvian Pisco Sour to celebrate your trek with the rest of the group before taking the train back to Cusco, which will mark the end of your journey to this magnificent site.
