Day 3 Private Inca Trail
Details
We depart from Pacaymayo and a while later a zigzagging, but short ascent will take us to the Runkurakay circular ruins. There is no sign of human life, only great forests, and abrupt hills. After a good rest, we will start our way down and then we will clearly notice that the Inca Trail is well preserved from this point. In a short while, we will get to the steps which go up to Sayacmarca ruins (3620 mts - 11946 ft approximately). From Sayacmarca the stone road begins to go into the jungle, continuing our trek towards Phuyupatamarca ruins. The trail crosses the "Lago Seco" and for brief moments we will go up and down. We will then cross "The Tunnel", a natural cavity produced by a landslide but adapted by the Incas. The Inca Trail well-traced borders continue on the hills full of moss and ferns. After crossing a small pass, we will see some steep steps and under them the Ceremonial Center of Phuyupatamarca ruins (3650 mts - 12045 ft approximately). Here we will have our last campsite.
Pacaymayo Phuyupatamarca: 5 km / 5 hours approximately.
