Your adventure begins early in the morning with a comfortable hotel pickup at approximately 4:30 a.m. in Cusco, or around 6:00 a.m. from hotels in Urubamba or Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. This early start allows us to make the most of the day while ensuring a well-organized and seamless beginning to your unforgettable journey.

We’ll stop for breakfast in Ollantaytambo, giving you time to enjoy a meal and pick up any last-minute essentials before starting the hike.

We then continue to Km 82, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our dedicated trekking team, including our experienced chefs and porters. After a short orientation and passport check, you’ll set off on your first scenic hike, officially beginning your unforgettable Inca Trail adventure.

Walk through charming Andean villages while enjoying breathtaking mountain scenery. Along the way, we’ll stop at the Inca site of Willkaraqay, where you’ll admire the impressive Llactapata ruins from a privileged panoramic viewpoint.

About an hour later, we arrive at Hatunchaca, where our skilled chefs will treat you to a freshly prepared, delicious lunch. After a well-earned break, we continue with a scenic two-hour hike through lush Andean landscapes toward our overnight camp at Ayapata.

We’ll arrive at Ayapata Campsite, where your comfortable tent will already be set up and waiting for you. Relax with hot tea, snacks, and a freshly prepared dinner, all while enjoying breathtaking mountain views, before resting up for the next day’s adventure.
