4 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Overview

Join us, 69 Explorer, on an unforgettable journey. Embark on the iconic 4-day Inca Trail Tour Mach Picchu. This adventure uniquely weaves together Andean landscapes with the mysteries of the Inca civilization.

This journey is a bucket-list experience for many, offering much more than just a trek. It’s an exploration into the heart of Peru’s cultural and historical heritage.

As we begin our Inca Trail hike, the anticipation and excitement will be palpable. Our path starts at Km 82, the traditional starting point of the Inca Trail. Here, take our first steps on this historic path, following in the footsteps of the Incas.

Over the course of four days, traverse a variety of terrains. These range from challenging mountain passes to serene cloud forests, with each offering their own unique beauty and challenges. The trail covers roughly 43 kilometers (about 26.7 miles), a distance filled with breathtaking vistas and ancient Inca ruins.

One of the most significant highlights of doing the Inca Trail hike is crossing Dead Woman’s Pass, the highest point of the trek at an altitude of 4,200 m (13,780 ft). While this is demanding, the sense of achievement upon reaching the summit is unmatched. Experienced tour guides will be there every step of the way, providing support. They will offer insights into the rich history of the trail and the Inca sites we encounter.

Throughout our trek to Machu Picchu, delve into the heart of Inca culture. We will be exploring well-preserved ruins that offer a glimpse into the past. Each Inca site we visit tells a story, contributing to our understanding of this remarkable civilization.

Camping along the Inca Trail is an adventure in itself. Our team ensures that the camping equipment is comfortable and suited to the Andean environment, allowing us to rest and rejuvenate under the stars. These moments of tranquility in nature will balance the physical demands of the trek.

As we approach Machu Picchu, the excitement will build. The final day of our journey culminates in an awe-inspiring guided tour of the ruins of Machu Picchu, where history and landscape converge in perfect harmony. This guided tour will not only reveal the secrets of this ancient wonder but also provide opportunities for personal exploration and reflection.

Throughout the 4-day Inca Trail tour experience, we will be mindful of challenges such as altitude sickness and will provide advice and support to ensure everyone’s well-being. The Inca Trail permit, necessary for this journey, will be arranged by us, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

Embarking on this Peru Inca Trail hike with 69 Explorer, you will not only witness the magnificent beauty of the Andes but also connect with the ancient spirit of the Inca culture. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary trail to Machu Picchu, a journey that promises to be as enriching as it is exhilarating.

The trek begins at an elevation of 2,720 m (8,923 ft), crossing the Vilcanota River. The first day’s hike is a gentle introduction to the trail, known as the “Inca flat terrain.”

Lunch awaits at Hatunchaca, followed by an approximately three-hour walk to our campsite.

First Camp Wayllabamba.

Our first night’s camp is set beyond the village of Wayllabamba, at an altitude of 3,000 meters (9,842 feet), nestled in a temperate green valley. Night time temperatures can drop to around 5°C (41°F), particularly during the dry season from May to September.

Upon arrival to the campsite, you will find your tents ready and afternoon tea and appetizers awaiting. It’s the perfect time to relax and enjoy a hot drink as you settle in for the night.

We will begin our ascent in the cool morning air, gradually winding up through a beautiful Andean forest. As we climb, the vegetation will thin out, giving way to the stunning high mountain scenery. Along this day’s hike is important to pace ourselves, taking breaks to catch our breath and admire the breathtaking views.
