Overview

This four-day trek follows the original Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, covering about 4 days and 3 nights on foot. Hikers cross archaeological sites such as Runkurakay and Wiñay Wayna, passing through diverse Andean landscapes and high jungle valleys. The route includes the challenging Dead Woman Pass and ends at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where hikers get their first view of Machu Picchu. The trip is led by a licensed bilingual guide in a small group of up to 10 people. Accommodation is in campsites set among mountains and green hills, with high-quality two-person tents provided. Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with water, tea breaks, and snacks served daily on the trail. Porters carry camping equipment and personal duffle bags up to 5 kg. Communication devices and safety gear such as first aid kits and oxygen supplies are included. The package covers all necessary permits and entrance tickets for Machu Picchu (Circuit 1C on day 3 and Circuit 3B on day 4). Transport includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Cusco, bus transfer from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes, and a tourist-class return train ride from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo. A pre-departure briefing is provided before the trek. Certain items like sleeping bags, trekking poles, and some meals on day 4 are not included. Participants must be physically fit due to the trek's difficulty.
