Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Our representative welcomes you in the arrivals hall and escorts you along the coast to your hotel in Miraflores. The rest of the day is yours: stroll the clifftop malecón, watch paragliders drift over the Pacific and enjoy a first taste of the cuisine that has made Lima one of the great food capitals of the world.
Day 2
In the morning, your guide leads you through Lima’s UNESCO-listed historic center: the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery, whose baroque cloisters and underground catacombs hold centuries of history. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Miraflores and bohemian Barranco or enjoy lunch at one of the acclaimed restaurants that have made Lima a world capital of gastronomy.
Day 3
Fly over the Andes to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. Your driver takes you to your hotel, where the rest of the day is yours to rest and acclimatize. Take it easy, drink plenty of water and enjoy a first evening stroll to the Plaza de Armas as the city lights up.
Day 4
An early transfer takes you through the Sacred Valley to Km 82 (Piscacucho), where your Inca Trail begins. Cross the Urubamba River and follow the trail through gentle valleys and small Andean hamlets, past the Inca site of Llactapata, to your first campsite at Wayllabamba (approx. 12 km, 5–6 hours).
Day 5
The most challenging day of the trek. Climb steadily through cloud forest and high grasslands to Warmiwañusca, Dead Woman’s Pass (approx. 4,215 m), the highest point of the Inca Trail, with sweeping views of the valleys behind you. Then descend into the Pacaymayo valley to your campsite (approx. 12 km, 6–7 hours).
Day 6
Many travelers’ favorite day. Cross a second pass and follow original Inca stone paths through cloud forest full of orchids, visiting the remarkable sites of Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Phuyupatamarca. End the day near Wiñay Wayna, a beautiful terraced complex overlooking the Urubamba River (approx. 16 km, 7–8 hours).
Day 7
Wake before dawn for the final stretch to Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, where Machu Picchu appears below you in the first light of the day. Descend into the citadel for a guided tour of its temples, plazas and terraces. Then take the bus down to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco for a well-deserved rest.
Day 8
After four days on the trail, enjoy a well-earned day at leisure in Cusco. Sleep in, book a massage, browse the artisan workshops of San Blas or celebrate your Inca Trail with a tasting menu at one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants. In the evening, stroll the illuminated Plaza de Armas.
Day 9
From the capital of the Incas to the shores of Lake Titicaca. Visit the golden interior of Andahuaylillas, the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas”, and the colossal Inca temple of Raqchi, then climb to La Raya Pass at over 4,300 m, where snow-capped peaks rise above herds of llamas and alpacas. After a stop at the Pucará museum, descend across the altiplano to Puno.
Day 10
Set sail on Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. First stop: the Uros Floating Islands, woven entirely from totora reeds by families who still live on them today. Continue to Taquile Island, whose textile art is recognized by UNESCO and where the men are master knitters, for a walk along its stone paths and a lunch of fresh lake trout with views of the Bolivian Andes.
Day 11
Transfer from Puno to Juliaca airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

The Inca Trail begins the day after you arrive in Cusco and crosses Dead Woman’s Pass (4,215 m) on day 5.
