Inca Trail Small Groups description:

The first day of the hike begins in the Sacred Valley, near the starting point of the famous “km. 82” Inca Trail. The journey starts at a comfortable pace, allowing you to acclimate to the altitude and enjoy the scenery. You will go through the Urubamba River of the Amazon, which will provide you with a tremendously refreshing ambiance. On the first day, you will also come across breathtaking views of the distant snow-capped mountains.

On the second day of the trail, be prepared for a challenging hike as you ascend to the “Dead Woman’s Pass,” also known as the highest point of the trek. The pass is about 4,200 meters above sea level, and believe us, the views are stunning! After this accomplishment, the journey continues down the other side of the mountain until you reach the campsite.

The third day of the tour can be counted as the most spiritual day of the journey as you pass by several Inca sites. You will visit the archaeological site of Wiñaywayna, another fantastic site where you can learn from the local guide about the history of the Incas’ traditions and religion. You will also come across the impressive Intipunku Sun Gate, which is the official entrance to Machu Picchu.

Finally, on the fourth day of the hike, you will enter the famous Machu Picchu. The journey on this day starts very early to reach the citadel at sunrise. The vision and feeling are genuinely worth it. You can feel the pioneering spirit of the Incas, which is serenity paired with their incredible engineering work.

Other Inca Trail options.

The Inca Trail is an unforgettable experience that takes you on a four-day journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas and to Machu Picchu. This trek offers an excellent opportunity to avoid most of the crowds on this popular route while still exploring some of the most spectacular landscapes in Peru.

When is the best time to hike to Machu Picchu?

The optimal time to embark on a remarkable hiking adventure to Machu Picchu is during the dry season, spanning from April to the end of September. It is crucial to avoid the rainy month of October, as fog may obstruct the magnificent views of Machu Picchu. For an unforgettable experience in June, we highly recommend booking the Inti Raymi 2020 Tour, taking place on June 24th. Additionally, consider embarking on the Palcoyo Mountain Tour, featuring the mesmerizing Rainbow Mountain nestled in the majestic Andes.
