1st DAY PISCACUCHO (Km. 82) –HUAYLLABAMBA
(The easy day)
A spectacular early morning drive through the Sacred
Valley of the Incas takes us to our trailhead at Km. 82
of the Machu Picchu railroad. After getting acquainted
with our trail crew we set out, crossing a footbridge to
hike a gentle two hours down the Urubamba canyon, and
then visit imposing sculpted Inca farming terraces and
the settlement of Llaqtapata on the banks of the
Cusichaca side river. We then climb a short way up the
Cusichaca valley to Huayllabamba, the last inhabited
village on the trail, where we camp.
( Walking distance approximately 12 km)

2nd Day HUAYLLABAMBA – PACAYMAYU
( the challenge day)
We climb the steep-sided Llullucha valley past a
rushing stream and through enchanted native polylepis
woodland. Crossing the rim of a small plateau, we
abruptly find ourselves in the puna, the treeless
grasslands of the high Andes. The trail traverses an
open slope opposite mighty mountain crags as we ascend
to the first and highest pass, Warmiwañusca
(4,200m/13,776ft). Here we encounter spectacular views
of the trail ahead to the second pass, and look back to
the sweeping snowpeaks and valleys of the Huayanay
massif.
The trail to the floor of the forested Pacaymayo valley,
where we make camp.
( Walking distance approximately 9 km)
3rd DAY PACAYMAYU – WIÑAYWAYNA (the unforgettable
day)
We pick up an Inca stairway and ascend again past the
small Inca site of Runkuracay. As we reach the second
pass, the landscape opens onto spectacular new views to
the snowpeaks of the Pumasillo range. We descend to the
ruins of Sayacmarca (Inaccessible Town), an intricate
labyrinth of houses, plazas and water channels, perched
precariously on a rocky spur overlooking the Aobamba
valley. The Inca trail, now a massive buttressed
structure of granite paving stones, continues along the
steep upper fringes of the cloud forest through a
colorful riot of orchids, bromeliads, mosses and ferns.
At the third pass pinnacles topped with Inca viewing
platforms overlook the archaeological complex of
Phuyupatamarca (Cloud-level Town).
Pausing to explore the wondrous maze of Inca stone
towers, fountains and stairways that spillins down the
mountainside here, we begin a long descent through
ever-changing layers of cloud forest. An Inca stairway
partly cut from living granite leads us finally to our
camp by the ruins of Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young), the
largest and most exquisite of the Inca Trail sites.
( Walking distance approximately 14 km)

4th DAY WIÑAYWAYNA – MACHUPICCHU
( The special day)
An early morning hike takes us across a steep
mountainside through lush, humid cloud-forest of giant
ferns and broad-leaf vegetation. Suddenly we cross the
stone threshold of Intipunku (Sun Gate) and encounter an
unforgettable sweep of natural beauty and human artistry
–a backdrop of twisting gorge and forested peaks framing
the magical city of Machu Picchu.
We complete the final leg down the royal flagstone
walkway, past outlying shrines and buildings and into
the heart of Machu Picchu, where we spend the rest of
the morning with a guided tour of the highlights and
some individual exploring among Machu Picchu’s multitude
of hidden nooks and corners. In the early afternoon a
bus takes us to the small town of Aguas Calientes, where
we board our return train to Cusco.
