Your 4-Day Adventure Unpacked
Day 1: Cusco → Km 82 → Ayapata
After a breezy pickup from your Cusco hotel, you’ll wind through the Sacred Valley to Km 82—the official Inca Trail kickoff point. Hike past llama-packed meadows and ruins like Llactapata, then camp under a galaxy of stars at Ayapata. Pro tip: Layer up—Andean nights get chilly! ❄️
Day 2: Dead Woman’s Pass & Mountain Highs
Today’s the biggie: a heart-pumping climb to 4,215m (13,829 ft!) at Dead Woman’s Pass. Catch your breath (literally) with epic views of snow-capped peaks, then descend to Chaquicocha Camp. Fun fact: This spot’s nicknamed “Dry Lake” because… well, you’ll see. 😉
Day 3: Cloud Forests & Hidden Gems
Trade mountain passes for misty cloud forests bursting with orchids and hummingbirds. Explore Wiñaywayna (Forever Young in Quechua), a terraced ruin that’ll make you wonder: How did they build this?!
Day 4: Machu Picchu Magic
Wake at 4 AM, hike to the Sun Gate, and—boom—there it is. Machu Picchu, glowing like a golden puzzle in the dawn light. Spend hours exploring (your guide spills all the wild Inca secrets), then cruise back to Cusco on the Vistadome Train. Cheat code: Request a window seat for waterfall views!
