Inca Trail Itinerary

Day 01: Cusco - Piskacucho - Yunkachimpa

Our private bus will pick you up from your hostel/hotel in Cusco to start the adventure through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. During the trip we will pass through the towns of Chincheros, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo before arriving to Piskacucho, Km 82 of the Cusco - Machu Picchu railway, starting point of our trek. We will walk until Miskay where we will have lunch and a 1 hour and 30 minutes break before restarting our walk toward our first camp in Yuncachimpa, which will include a guided visit of the archaeological site of Llactapacta.

Day 02: Yuncachimpa - Warmiwañusca - Runkurakay

Today we will start our walk to the highest point of the Inca Trail. The walk today takes you through different micro-climates of this valley. We will pass the site of Warmiwañusca, at 4.200 mt on sea level, and then have lunch and camp in Paqaymayo. Free time and dinner.
