Itinerary

Day 1

Cusco – Ollantaytambo – Wayllabamba

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 5:30 am and drive to the village of Ollantaytambo. Here, we will enjoy a nutritious breakfast and have the chance to buy some snacks before beginning our trekking adventure. We will proceed to Piscacucho (KM 82) and start our first 2-hour hike to Patallacta (2,750m / 9,020ft), an Inca archaeological site offering spectacular views, situated in the lush Urubamba Valley.

After exploring this fascinating site, we will continue hiking for 45 minutes to our lunch spot. Our cook will prepare a delicious meal for us, and we will have some time to rest. Following lunch, we will hike for 1.5 hours to our campsite at Wayllabamba (3,000m / 9,800ft), where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest, an afternoon snack, and a tasty dinner before heading to bed.

Hiking Distance: 11 km / 5 miles

After a hearty breakfast and a hot cup of coca tea, We will walk for 4 hours to the first pass of the Inca Trail, called Warmiwañusca, which means “Dead Woman’s Pass” (4215 meters above sea level / 13,829 feet), the highest point on the trail.

Upon reaching the pass, we will take a short break to enjoy the stunning views before continuing our 2.5-hour descent to the next valley of Pacaymayo (3,600m / 11,800ft). There, we will have some coca tea and a freshly prepared dinner, and spend the night at our campsite.

Hiking Distance: 10 km / 7.5 miles

Our team will wake you up early with a hot cup of coca tea. Today will be the longest and most challenging day, so we’ll start with a nutritious breakfast to prepare for the journey. We will continue our hike through lush jungle vegetation and encounter several incredible Inca archaeological sites.

The first archaeological site we visit is the Runcuracay (3,760m / 12,300ft). Unlike other Inca structures, Runcuracay features circular enclosures, a rare design element in Inca architecture. After a short break, we will hike for 1.5 hours to the archaeological site of Sayacmarca. Located on a rocky cliff at 3,600m, Sayacmarca appears as a labyrinth of houses, plazas with fountains, and narrow streets.

We will then reach our lunch spot at Chaquicocha, where we will have some time to relax. After a 2.5-hour hike, we will arrive at the next archaeological site, Puyupatamarca (3,600m / 11,810ft), also known as the “City Above the Clouds.” Here, you will find Inca ruins with five small stone baths that maintain a constant flow of fresh water during the rainy season.

From there, we’ll start our 3-hour descent to our campsite at Wiñayhuayna, where we will have tea and dinner. This meal will be special as it will be our final dinner with the team, and we will bid farewell to our porters.

This campsite will be available according to the ministry and may be Puyupatamarca or Wiñaywayna.

Hiking Distance: 15 km / 10 miles

On the last day of the Inca Trail Private Tour, we will wake up at 3:30 am, have breakfast, and descend to the control point. We will wait there for a little over an hour until the gates open. Once we pass through the control point, we will hike for 1.5 hours to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), the ceremonial entrance to Machu Picchu.

From the Sun Gate, we will get our first breathtaking view of the majestic Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu. We will then descend for 40 minutes to the Machu Picchu citadel, the “Lost City of the Incas.” We exit the site and re-enter to tour the Archaeological center via the lower section – Circuit 3B. The city was rediscovered on July 24, 1911, by US explorer Hiram Bingham

Our local guide will provide insights into this sacred site and show us around the entire complex. Afterwards, you will have free time to explore the archaeological site on your own.

For those who have opted to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain, you will do so at your designated time.*

In the afternoon, we will take the bus down to Aguas Calientes, where we will have time for lunch (not included). We will then board the train to Ollantaytambo, enjoying the stunning landscapes of the Sacred Valley during the ride. Upon arrival at the train station**. We will take a car back to Cusco and drop you off at the hotel**.

Please inquire in advance about availability. $65.00 per person for Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain

Hiking Distance: 6 km / 3.7 miles

This program operates in the Andes, where weather, road conditions, local regulations and visitor controls can occasionally affect timing. The route order may be adjusted by the guide when needed to improve safety, avoid crowds or respond to operational conditions. Any adjustment is made with the goal of protecting the quality of the experience.

For the best experience, travel with only what you need for the day, protect yourself from strong sun and cold wind, and follow your guide’s instructions at viewpoints, archaeological sites and trail sections.

An Unforgettable Salkantay Trek

We traveled from Canada and booked the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. Everything was organized very well from the briefing in Cusco to our final visit to Machu Picchu. Our guide was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the mountains and local culture. The trek was challenging, especially around Salkantay Pass, but the team always made sure everyone felt comfortable. The scenery was incredible and arriving at Machu Picchu at the end made the whole experience unforgettable.

Perfect First Visit to Machu Picchu

We came from the United States for our first trip to Peru and booked our Machu Picchu visit through the agency. Communication was clear before the tour and all the transfers, train arrangements, bus tickets, and guiding were coordinated smoothly. Our guide at Machu Picchu explained the history in a very interesting way and gave us enough time for photos and questions. It was a stress-free experience and exactly what we hoped for.

Beautiful Day in the Sacred Valley

We are from France and really enjoyed our Sacred Valley tour. The landscapes were beautiful and the guide gave us a great introduction to Inca history and local traditions. Pisac and Ollantaytambo were especially impressive. The transport was comfortable, the schedule was well managed, and the staff answered our questions quickly before the trip. It was one of the best days of our stay in Cusco.

Excellent Choquequirao Adventure

We traveled from the UK and chose the Choquequirao trek because we wanted a quieter and more adventurous route. It was definitely demanding, but the organization was excellent. Our guide knew the trail very well, kept a good pace for the group, and shared fascinating information about the archaeological site. The scenery was spectacular and reaching Choquequirao with very few other visitors around was a special experience.

Great Introduction to Cusco

We visited from Germany and booked a Cusco city tour shortly after arriving. It was a great way to understand the city before continuing to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the relationship between Inca and colonial history clearly. Sacsayhuaman was a highlight for us. Everything started on time and the tour felt relaxed and well organized.

Amazing Five Day Salkantay Experience

We came from Australia and completed the five-day Salkantay Trek. The entire experience was better than expected. The mountain views were incredible, the meals were very good, and our guide was supportive throughout the trek. He explained what to expect each day and helped everyone manage the altitude. We especially loved the change in landscapes as we descended toward the warmer valleys. Finishing with Machu Picchu was the perfect ending.

Smooth and Well Organized Machu Picchu Trip

We traveled from Italy and booked a Machu Picchu tour with the agency. All the logistics were explained clearly and every part of the journey went smoothly. The train and transfers were well coordinated, and our guide met us exactly as arranged. Machu Picchu was even more impressive than we imagined. We appreciated having enough time to enjoy the site instead of feeling rushed.

A Fantastic Sacred Valley Experience

We visited Peru from Switzerland and spent a full day exploring the Sacred Valley. The agency did a very good job organizing the tour and the guide made the history easy to understand. We enjoyed the different stops and the views throughout the valley. Ollantaytambo was our favorite place. Communication was professional from the beginning and the day ran exactly as planned.

One of the Best Treks We Have Done

We are from Denmark and have done several multi-day hikes, but the Salkantay Trek was one of the most memorable. The route was beautiful and varied, and the team worked hard to keep everything running smoothly. Our guide was excellent and paid attention to how everyone was feeling at altitude. The group atmosphere was very positive and reaching Machu Picchu after several days of hiking felt incredibly rewarding.
