Overview

The trek begins by hiking along the original Inca Trail stone paths, covering four days and nearly 96 hours of walking through varied terrain. This bus-supported trek starts with transportation from Cusco to the trailhead at kilometer 82. Throughout the journey, participants cross cloud forests, visit several archaeological sites, and follow paths used by the Inca civilization, culminating in arrival at the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu. The tour includes professional English-speaking guides and assistant guides for larger groups, with support from porters carrying cooking and camping equipment. Accommodation is in shared four-man tents with dining tents provided at campsites. Meals include three breakfasts, three lunches, three afternoon snacks, and three dinners prepared by an on-trail chef. Participants receive an inflatable sleeping mattress but must carry it unless they hire a personal porter. Water is supplied except for the first four hours of trekking when travelers must bring their own. Oxygen bottles and first-aid kits are available throughout the trek. After visiting Machu Picchu, the return trip involves a bus ride to Aguas Calientes and then train and bus transfers back to Cusco. Hotel pickup in Cusco and bus transport to the trail’s start are also included. Some meals on the first and last days are not included, and certain fees like entrance to Huayna Picchu Mountain and personal porter costs are extra.
