Walk the ancient trails and step back in time
Begin your adventure in Cusco at 4:00 a.m. or Ollantaytambo (5:30 a.m.). We will head to the Ollantaytambo train station to board the first trains to the Inca Trail; the journey takes about 1.5 hours, stopping at Chachabamba, the trailhead at Km 104. Upon arrival, you must present your original passport to enter the Inca Trail.
Once at Km 104 (2,000 m), we will begin our hike. Make sure you are fully prepared! We will provide snacks and take a group photo before visiting our first Inca site.
After orientation and a tour of the site, we will start walking toward the Inca Trail. If the weather allows, we will enjoy stunning views of Machu Picchu, the Urubamba River, and other surrounding Inca sites.
After about three hours of hiking, we will reach the most beautiful Inca site on the trail: Wiñaywayna (Forever Young) at 2,600 m / 8,500 ft. Here, you will have the chance to see an elaborate water fountain, temples, agricultural terraces, and other impressive structures – a perfect opportunity to learn about Inca history.
The rear part of this site overlooks a cliff, with beautiful mountains surrounding the area. Just a few minutes away, we’ll find the campsites where Classic Inca Trail hikers spend the night.
Here, we will provide a hot lunch prepared on the spot by one of our chefs. You can refill your water container and take some time to rest after lunch.
From Wiñay Wayna, we will hike to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where we will enjoy a scenic view of Machu Picchu.
One advantage of this hike is that by the time you reach Machu Picchu, most tourists will have left, giving you the chance to enjoy the site with fewer crowds.
After taking photos, we will take the bus to Aguas Calientes and head to your hotel. Later, we will have dinner at Indio Feliz (included), considered the best restaurant in Aguas Calientes.
After dinner, we recommend going to bed early to make the most of the following day.
Note: This hiking route is identical to the 2-day Inca Trail with Camping.
Highlight of the day: Wander through the cobblestone streets of Machu Picchu and imagine how life was centuries ago.
Marvel at the energy of Machu Picchu and uncover Inca secrets
Today marks the climax of your epic journey with a visit to the New Wonder of the World and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu. In the morning, enjoy breakfast at your hotel in Aguas Calientes before departing early.
We will take the bus from Aguas Calientes to the archaeological complex to arrive before the crowds. This allows you to make the most of the morning light and watch the sun’s first rays illuminate the massive ancient stones.
You can store your backpack or belongings at the hotel before visiting Machu Picchu – only carry a small daypack with essential items. The bus ride from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu takes approximately 30 minutes.
Upon arrival at Machu Picchu, your guide will take you to the best spot to witness the sunrise (weather permitting) and take photos. Afterward, your expert local guide will explain the site’s main areas over a 2.5-hour tour. You will learn about the history and culture of the Inca Empire.
You will have the option to hike Huayna Picchu Mountain (advance reservation required, as permits sell out quickly and cost $75 per person). Your guide will show you where this hike begins. The hike takes about 2 hours round trip.
Alternatively, you can hike Machu Picchu Mountain, which is more strenuous and challenging, taking a minimum of 3 hours round trip (also $75 per person).
After fully exploring this magical site, around midday, we will return to Aguas Calientes for lunch at a restaurant of your choice. In the afternoon (around 2 p.m.), we will head to the train station for our journey to Ollantaytambo. From Ollantaytambo, Tunqui Expeditions will provide private transportation back to Cusco, dropping you off at your hotel.
Now is the time to rest your legs after an epic 2-day adventure along the ancient Inca trails. We are confident that this life-changing hike will stay with you forever.
