Day 2 | Wayllabamba | Dead woman's pass - Pacaymayo

We will start early after breakfast, our great second day of the classic Inca Trail, which is undoubtedly the most difficult day of the whole 4-day trek, which is not to say that you can't make it, but a respect and consideration to come emotionally and physically prepared. We start in Wayllabamba at 2995 m and climb to 4216 m which is the highest point of the Inca Trail, dead woman's pass. From there we start descending to Pacaymayo at 3610 m, the Inca trail is short, actually just over 9 km, but what makes it difficult is the altitude and the climb of many meters.

Arriving at Pacaymayo we will have our lunch and then have a well-deserved rest, we will be able to do some hiking around the camp and bird watching, dinner and overnight.

Day 3 | Pacaymayo - Phuyupatamarca- Wiñaywayna

This is the most beautiful day of the entire trek, but also the day with the most kilometers of walking, breathtaking panoramic views and the beginning of the jungle or the Amazon combined with Inca citadels in the mountains make this day very interesting.

Day 4 | Wiñaywayna – Sun Gate - Machu Picchu - Cusco

This is the most expected part of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu by all visitors! After breakfast, we return to our hike to take advantage of the cool morning and hurry a little to arrive in time for one of the greatest pleasures of this route: to appreciate the sunrise at Machu Picchu.

After one hour of walking, we will pass through the Sun Gate to Machu Picchu (Inti Punku), where it is possible to appreciate the most impressive panoramic view. We continue along the Inca trail until we reach the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu, and take the postcard photo, then visiting the main sites such as the enclosures, squares, sacred springs, temple of the sun, the house of the Inca, the agricultural sector, urban and more.
