The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is rated among the best trekking trips in the world because of the exquisite beauty of its natural surroundings. It includes different ecological areas from high deserts to the Andean tropical rainforest. Following this ancient Inca Trail, we will be walking past mysterious archaeological sites, half covered by the jungle overgrowth that looks like you are discovering them for the first time, and finally arriving in the lost city of the Incas: Machu Picchu.
Today, we will transfer you from the hotel to Km. 82, where we will meet our porters and equipment. We start our trek escorted by the porters, going through semi-arid terrain along the Urubamba River with magnificent views of snow-capped mountains. We will leave the Urubamba valley and will have an overview of it before setting off up to the Kusichaca River to our first camp site in Huayllabamba (around 3000 m.a.s.l 9842 f.a.s.l). Km. 82 to Huayllabamba: 11 km / 6 hours approximately.
