Itinerary
Day 1: Cusco - Km 82 - Hatunchaca - Ayapata
Stop At: Inca Trail, Machu Picchu Peru
You will be picked up from your hotel between 4:30 am and drive to KM. 82. After a delicious breakfast, you will head straight to the checkpoint to begin the trek. It’s a relatively easy two-hour walk to Patallacta; the first Inca site along the trail. From a unique, secluded location we will enjoy the breathtaking views. It’s then another two-hour walk to Hatunchaca – where lunch will be waiting. We will walk for another two hours to the first campsite located in Ayapata, your tent, a snack, and a hot drink will be waiting for you.
Duration: 6 hours

Day 2: AYAPATA – WARMIWAÑUSKA – RUNCURACCAY – CHAQUICOCHA
Stop At: Inca Trail, Machu Picchu Peru
Wake you up bright and early with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Today will be the most challenging, and after breakfast, it’s a 4-hour trek uphill to Dead Woman’s Pass. At 4215m / 13829ft., this is the highest point along the Inca trail. At the summit, we will take time to appreciate the serenity of this location while your guide completes a traditional offering ceremony to the Apus (local Gods). After a 2-hour downhill trek to Pacaymayu Valley, we will enjoy a well-earned lunch. The second pass is an easier 2-hours climb, and we will take time to explore two Inca sites along the way; RuncuRaccay and Sayacmarca. It’s then a 20-minute walk to the second campsite at Chaquicocha, and this is the perfect place to stargaze!

At Intipata, there will be time to rest and take in your magical surroundings. We will reach the campsite at approximately 1:00 pm to have lunch and you can then enjoy some free time to relax and unwind. Later in the afternoon, we will visit another impressive Inca site – Wiñay Wayna – where your guide will explain the history of this remarkable location.
