Day 1 | Cusco
Begin your adventure in Cusco, acclimatising to the altitude before beginning your Classic Inca Trail trek Machu Picchu. Discover the history and architectural genius of the Incas with a private tour of the ancient capital of the empire, taking in the key archaeological sites of Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, Puca Pucara, and the Temple of the Sun.
Day 2 | Cusco
Meet the modern-day descendants of the Incas with a private tour of the Sacred Valley! Your day will begin in Pisaq, where you can barter for traditional handcrafts at the colourful market and explore the breathtaking mountaintop ruins. Next, you will explore Ollantaytambo, which still retains its original Inca-era layout and architecture. Finally, you will visit Chinchero, one of the most traditional towns in the Sacred Valley.
Day 3 | Inca Trail | Cusco to Wayllabamba
Today, you’ll begin the adventure of a lifetime – the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Your first day on the trail is the easiest, and serves as a warm-up for the rest of the trek. You will begin at the famous trailhead, Kilometre 82, and enjoy fabulous views of the sparkling Urubamba river as you make your way up to the ruins of Llactapacta, the first archaeological site of the trek. A few more kilometres of gentle ascent will take you to Wayllabamba campsite, where you will spend the night.
Day 4 | Inca Trail | Wayllabamba to Pacaymayo
The second day of your Inca Trail trek is the most challenging, but intensely rewarding! After spending the morning ascending through scenery that gradually becomes sub tropical forest, you will cross the highest point of the trail: Dead Woman’s Pass (4,200m). Enjoy the sense of achievement (and also the amazing views of the Sacred Valley!) before descending for another few kilometres towards Pacaymayo campsite.
Day 5 | Inca Trail | Pacaymayo to Wiñay Wayna
This morning, you will visit the beautiful Inca archaeological sites of Runkurakay and Sayakmarka before descending into the cloud forest. Keep your eyes peeled for orchids and humming birds! Take in magnificent views of Salkantay peak, one of the most important Inca mountain gods, as you descend towards Wiñay Wayna. This beautiful archaeological site is one of the highlights of the trail, and an excellent precursor to Machi Picchu. You will camp at the Wiñay Wayna campsite, which even has hot showers!
Day 6 | Inca Trail | Wiñay Wayna to Cusco via Machu Picchu
Get up with the dawn and experience the magical sight of sunrise over Machu Picchu! Nothing compares with walking through the Sun Gate at the end of your trek and seeing the majestic, ruined city for the first time. Visit the key sites of the awe-inspiring citadel with your expert guide, before spending some time exploring at your own pace, soaking up the atmosphere. Head back to Aguas Calientes by bus, before taking the train back to Cusco, full of amazing memories of your Classic Inca Trail Trek Machu Picchu!
