Embark on one of Peru’s most iconic journeys: the Classic 4-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, an experience that blends adventure, history, and nature along one unforgettable route. This tour follows the same ancient Inca Trail route once walked by the Incas themselves, taking you through cloud forests, mountain landscapes, and hidden archaeological sites surrounded by lush vegetation.
Get ready to witness golden sunrises over the Andes, explore secluded Inca ruins, and end your adventure at the awe-inspiring Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu—one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. From your first step at kilometer 82 to your arrival at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), every stretch of the Inca Trail is steeped in spirituality, history, and breathtaking natural beauty.
This is more than just a physical challenge; it’s a deep connection to the Inca legacy. And because access to the trail is regulated, it’s essential to check Inca Trail availability in advance—spots are limited and tend to sell out quickly.
(Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner)
We begin early with a hotel pickup and travel to kilometer 82, the official starting point of the Inca Trail route. After crossing the Urubamba River and visiting the archaeological complex of Patallacta, we stop for lunch in Miskay. From there, we continue along the Inca Trail to our first campsite in Wayllabamba, surrounded by mountains and fresh air.
(Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner)
This is considered the most challenging day of the route. We ascend to the Warmiwañuska Pass (Dead Woman’s Pass) at 4,215 meters (13,829 ft), the highest point of the trek. We’ll pause to take in the panoramic views before descending to our campsite in Pacaymayo—one of the coldest, yet most enchanting places along the classic Inca Trail.
(Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner)
After breakfast, we climb to the second pass, Runkuraqay (3,970 m / 13,022 ft), and explore its archaeological site. We continue toward Sayacmarca for lunch, then cross ancient Inca tunnels carved into solid rock.
Later, we reach the mist-shrouded site of Puyupatamarca, “The City in the Clouds,” and descend to Wiñayhuayna with its stunning agricultural terraces and sweeping views of the high jungle. We’ll camp here, just one step away from Machu Picchu, surrounded by the sacred energy of the Inca Trail Cusco.
(Breakfast)
Before dawn, we hike to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where you'll get your first magical view of Machu Picchu bathed in morning light. We enter the citadel through Circuit 1 – the Panoramic Route, currently the only authorized access for those arriving via the Inca Trail route.
If you wish to explore more of the citadel in depth, please ask us about additional Machu Picchu entry options, subject to Inca Trail availability. After the guided tour, we take the bus down to Aguas Calientes, board the train to Ollantaytambo, and finish with a private transfer back to your hotel in Cusco. A perfect ending to a life-changing adventure.
