Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Cusco to the picturesque village of Upis, the gateway to the majestic Ausangate Mountain. From here, embark on a breathtaking high-altitude trek through rolling Andean landscapes, where herds of alpacas graze beneath snow-dusted peaks. As you ascend to Arapa Pass, marvel at the panoramic vistas of towering glaciers and verdant valleys. In the afternoon, descend to the serene Hatun Pucacocha Lake, a crystal-clear jewel nestled at the foot of Ausangate. Spend the night at our deluxe campsite, surrounded by silence and starlight in the sacred shadow of the mountain.
Wake to the gentle light of dawn over the Andes and begin a captivating trek toward Puca Pass, where vibrant high-altitude lagoons mirror the sky. After a gourmet outdoor lunch, continue your ascent to the impressive Warmisaya Pass, offering sweeping views of the rugged Vilcanota range. Descend to our secluded camp at Surinecocha, where you’ll enjoy a private excursion to Rainbow Mountain at sunset—a magical time to witness its colors glowing in the golden light, away from the crowds.
Greet the day with warm coca tea before a special early visit to Rainbow Mountain at sunrise—an unforgettable spectacle of color and solitude. After capturing the perfect photographs, continue your adventure through the mystical Red Valley, where Mars-like landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see. Arrive at Quesiuno for an exquisite lunch, then venture onward to Ausangate Cocha, where you’ll camp beneath the stars at the base of the mighty glacier.
Today’s journey leads you to the highest point of the trek: Palomani Pass, a breathtaking 5,200 meters above sea level. Here, the Andean world opens up in a dramatic display of snow-capped peaks and endless skies. Descend into the valley, passing herds of vicuñas and grazing alpacas, until you reach the quiet community of Huchuy Phinaya. Continue to Sorapata, where you’ll share an enriching afternoon with local families—learning about their ancestral traditions, agriculture, and Andean cosmology.
Begin your final day with a climb to Jampa Pass, one of the most scenic points of the expedition. From here, descend into the ethereal realm of the 7 Ausangate Lagoons, each with its own vibrant hue and legend. Participate in a traditional Andean ceremony of gratitude to Pachamama and the Apus, before continuing to the community of Pacchanta. Reward yourself with a relaxing soak in the natural hot springs, a perfect end to this luxurious high-altitude adventure.

It’s very important to be properly acclimatized to the altitude before attempting any strenuous trekking. We highly recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 to 3 days before your Inca Trail tour to give your body time to adjust and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
If you’ve already spent time at high altitude in another region of Peru, we still suggest taking at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recover from travel, and enjoy the city before your hike.
Here are a few recommended activities near Cusco to enjoy before your adventure:
All tour briefings are held at our main office in Cusco (or at your hotel upon request) at 5:00 p.m. the day before your trek begins. The briefing lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
If you are unable to attend at that time, please contact us by email, phone, or in person to reschedule your briefing.
If you have a remaining balance for your trek, it must be paid at least 2 days before your departure date, otherwise your reservation cannot be confirmed.
We appreciate payments made in cash (either in US dollars or Peruvian soles) at our office in Cusco. You can withdraw money from various ATMs along Avenida El Sol.
We also accept credit/debit cards or PayPal (online or in person), but please note that both Niubiz and PayPal charge a 5% service fee.
We do not accept personal checks or traveler’s checks.
You’ll receive a duffel bag during your pre-trek briefing. Our porters will carry this for you and deliver it to each campsite.
The bag measures 60 x 24 x 22 cm (23.6 x 9.45 x 8.66 inches) and has a weight limit of 7 kg / 15.4 lb, including your sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, clothes, and personal items.
Absolutely! You may leave your extra luggage at our office in Cusco or at your hotel — both options are free of charge.
Most hotels offer storage services, but we recommend not leaving valuables inside your luggage. Instead, store them in the hotel’s safe and request a detailed receipt in case of loss or theft (many travel insurance companies require it).
For extra peace of mind, seal sensitive items like credit cards in a signed envelope.
Here’s a complete checklist to help you prepare for your adventure. Please read carefully and pack accordingly to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trek.
