Inca Trail
to Machu Picchu, one of the most important paths for its popularity,
authenticity and it being full of mysteries. Along the Inca Trail, you will
discover its preculiar architectural characteristics and natural landscapes that
have been kept since the time of the Incas. This Trail is one of the most
popular paths, because it is the only one that directly connects with the
sacred city of Machu Picchu. It’s an unforgettable trip for adventure lovers,
who love to connect with nature and spend the nights in tents in the middle of
nowhere.
Thanks to
the support of the carriers, who transport all the tracking equipment and
personal luggage up to 7 kg, you may really enjoy your hike. Our service is
customized. The food prepared by our chef, is based on the diet the body can
take in at different altitudes. He is also happy to make vegetarian, vegan or
special dishes for people who may have allergies (e.g. gluten free or sugar
free).
In the
early morning, we leave Cusco by private transport to our destination in the
Sacred Valley. We make a stop in the archeological city of Ollantaytambo, from
which we continue to 82 km., where we will meet our team of carriers, who are
in charge of bringing all the tracking material. There, our cook will prepare
us a good breakfast to start our walk. Along the trajectory you may enjoy
natural passages throughout the valley, and one of the mountains that stands as
a guardian to the valley, Huaccay Wilca, better known as Veronica. Following
the course of the Urubamba River, we arrive at the beautiful view point of
Llactapata. From this point you may enjoy the Inca residence of Llactapata with
agricultural terraces and urban zones. Continuing our hike, we arrive at the
small village of Huayllabamba to stay the night over in a camp, in two person
tents. But before that, we will have dinner together, prepared by our chef
cook. About 6 to 7 hours walking.
After
breakfast, we start our climb through the Woods, covered with native trees,
mosses and bromelias from the area, until we arrive at Llulluchapampa (3,800
m), where the vegetation changes with the presence of into Andean straw. From
there, you can see the Warmihuañusca pass. Continuing our climb we arrive at
the highest point, which is also called the pass of the dead woman. From there,
you have a magnificent panoramic view and connection with nature. Then, we will
descend until we reach the camp of Paccamayu, the place where we will shave
lunch and stay over.
A beautiful
day of walking with plenty of history, small archeological sites, flora and
fauna. The hike begins with a climb up the second pass called Runkuraccay
(3,630 m). From there, we walk up to a place that was really important in the
time of the Incas, Sayacmarka, which is constructed on a rock outcrop in the
middle of the woods that cover the Inca site. After that, we will pass through the
Chaquiccoccha camp until we reach the ultimate highest point. It is called the
village in the clouds (Puyupatamarka), a small astronomic point in the past,
from where you have an impressing view. Then, we will have our final descent to
the Wiñaywayna camp where we will spend the night camping.
A day of
dreams coming true, to be present in one of the wonders of the modern world.
Today we will have breakfast very early and we will say goodbye and thank you
to the team of carriers, thanks to whom we could realize the coveted Inca Trail.
We will take our final track to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), an incredible place
with a magnificent view over the city of Machu Picchu. When we get to the Inca
City, our guide will make us discover points of major importance in the time of
the Incas, so we can appreciate the importance of the magical city. After
exploring we will be sad to leave, but who knows we may say: “See you soon Machu
Picchu”, and we may come back with our loved ones. We will take the bus to
Aguas Calientes and return to Ollantaytambo or Poroy, Cusco.
