DAY INCA TRAIL

1 KM. 82 - WAYLLABAMBA
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 Wayllabamba, the last inhabited village on the trail, where we
camp.
DAY 2 INCA TRAIL
WAYLLABAMBA - PAKAYMAYU
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 Pakaymayu valley, where we make camp.

DAY 3 INCA TRAIL

PAKAYMAYU - WIÑAY WAYNA
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 , 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.

DAY 4 INCA TRAIL

WIÑAY WAYNA - MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO
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.
