Your journey
Discover what each day of your adventure has in store, from unforgettable landscapes to authentic experiences in the Andes.
Day 1
Cusco → Km 82 → Llactapata → Wayllabamba. We start at the official checkpoint with a gentle warm-up hike along the Urubamba River, passing the impressive Llactapata archaeological site.
Day 2
Wayllabamba → Warmiwañusqa → Pacaymayo. The most demanding day: we climb through a mystical cloud forest to the trail's highest point (4,215 m), rewarded with 360° Andean views before descending to camp.
Day 3
Pacaymayo → Sayacmarca → Phuyupatamarca → Wiñay Wayna. We walk on perfectly preserved Inca stairways, cross stone tunnels, and visit the citadels of Sayacmarca and Wiñay Wayna, perched on the cloud forest slopes.
Day 4
Wiñay Wayna → Inti Punku → Machu Picchu → Cusco. We wake up early to reach Inti Punku (Sun Gate) just as Machu Picchu appears under the morning light, including a full 2-hour guided tour and scenic train return.
Your itinerary may be adjusted slightly depending on weather and local conditions.
