At the end, you will receive the final advice before the departure, such as what to wear during the trip, how the climate in the sites you will visit, and more!
DAY 01. Cusco - 82 KM - Llaqtapata - Huayllabamba
We start this day by heading to Piskakucho, a community located in the 82 KM along the train trail. We will reach it at around 6:00 to 6:30 am on our private transportation.

Likewise, we arrive in Miskay at 2800 m altitude to overlook the impressive Llaqtapata Inca Ruins from the summit. We will continue trekking along the Kusichaka River shore, and we will be gradually climbing for about five hours until we reach Huayllabamba, a town located at 3000 m, we will camp in this place.

DAY 02 - Reach the Warmiwañusca or Dead Woman Pass - Pacaymayo
On this day, we will experience the most difficult part of the trek. We will wake up at around 6:00 am and after breakfast, we will start climbing through an abrupt and steep ascent that stretches for 9 km. The landscape here will change from the Andes to a dry and high area with little vegetation.
The goal of the day is to reach the warmiwañusca, or dead woman Pass. For that reason, we may see llamas and alpacas grazing on the land on the way. We will also cross a cloud forest area, a habitat for different kinds of birds like hummingbirds and sparrows, and the Spectacled Bear. We recommend that your daypack is well stocked with candies, chocolates, and coca leaves for this day because that will keep a high sugar level for you, and help with altitude sickness. Immediately after the pass, we will descend into the Pacaymayo Valley at 3600 m, where we camp after 7 hours of hiking.
DAY 03. Pacaymayo - Runkurakay
This day is the longest and the most impressive in our journey. This is due to the number of archaeological sites and beautiful landscapes we will see.

Moreover, after an easy climb, we will arrive at the third pass, the Abra Phuyupatamarca at 3700 m. Its name means means “town over the clouds”. Here, we will appreciate the magnitude of the Incas´ ancient architecture by walking along semi-detached paths. Then. we will go through an Inca tunnel to finally arrive at the pass and site.
This is one of the most complete and best-preserved Inca sites along the Inca Trail, and it is located on the highest point of a mountain. The sacred ruins are made up of water fountains with solid foundations, and we will enjoy impressive views of the Urubamba River Valley from above. Later, we will continue our trek down the long descending stone steps until we reach Wiñaywayna, an impressive Inca site, full of terraces used for agriculture. This is the final campsite.
