Cuzco - Km 82 - Huayllabamba - Pacaymayu - Wiñay Wayna - Machu

Picchu Travel.

The Inca Empire was the most sophisticated culture in the "Old World". By

force of divine right and with a mastery of engineering, agriculture,

economic, and most importantly, administrative skills, the Incas united

warring tribes throughout the Andes under a common language and single

religion, creating one of the most fabulous of ancient empires -

Tawantinsuyo. At its height, the Inca Empire had an extensive...

Day 01: Cusco – Wayllabamba Machu Picchu Travel

Between 7:00 and 7:30 am, we pick you up at your hotel in our own private

Page 2: Machu picchu travel

bus. We then drive to Piskacuchu (2700 masl), a community located on the

82nd kilometer of the Cusco –Machu Picchu railroad. Starting at this point,

we cross the bridge and walk along the left shore of the Urubamba River as

it flows north-west along the Sacred Valley. Following the trail along a flat

terrain, we arrive in Miskay (2800 masl), to then ascend and finally see,

from the tallest part of an overlook, the Inca city of Patallacta (2750 masl).

We continue trekking along the valley created by the Kusichaca River,

gradually climbing for about five hours until we reach our first campsite in

the Wayllabamba village (3000 masl). All along the way we will see

spectacular views of the Vilcanota ridge on the opposite side of the

Urubamba River, where the impressive Veronica peak reigns at 5832 meters

above sea level. Not to mention the diversity of wild flora and fauna that can

be found all along the valley.

Day 02: Wayllabamba – Pacaymayo Machu Picchu Travel

We wake up at around 6:00 am, and after breakfast we leave Wayllabamba

behind to begin the most difficult part of the trek, which consists of an

abrupt and steep ascent that stretches for 9 km. Along this climb, the

landscape changes from sierra to puna (a dry and high area with little

vegetation). On the way to the first mountain pass, the Abra

Warmihuañusca (Dead Woman´s Pass), we see domesticated llamas and

alpacas grazing on ichu, one of the few plants that grow at that altitude. We

also cross an area of the so called cloud forest, which is the habitat for many

different kinds of birds like hummingbirds and sparrows and the Andean

bear, which is also called the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctus Ornatus). We

advise that on this day specially, your day pack is well stocked with candies,

chocolates and coca leaves that will keep your sugar level high, and help

with altitude sickness. Immediately after the pass, we descend into the

Pacaymayo valley (3600 masl), where we camp after approximately 6h of

hiking.

Day 03: Pacaymayo – Wiñaywayna Machu Picchu Travel

This day is the longest but also the most impressive and the most

interesting, due the number of archaeological sites that we visit and learn

about from our guide. From Pacaymayo we climb to the second pass, the

Page 3: Machu picchu travel

Abra de Runkurakay (3970 masl). Half way up, we visit the archaeological

complex with the same name. This site, located at 3800 masl, consists of a

small oval structure that is believed to have served the purpose of a

watchtower.. We go through an Inca tunnel to later arrive at the

aforementioned pass and down to the complex of the same name. This is

one of the most complete and best-preserved archaeological complexes

along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and is located on the highest point of a

mountain. Curiously, Phuyupatamarca means ¨town over the clouds¨. From

above, one can observe a sophisticated sacred complex made up of water

fountains with solid foundations, and also impressive views of the Urubamba

River valley and the long descending stone steps along which we will

continue on to Wiñaywayna (2700 masl). At this campsite we find a lodge

with a restaurant, bar and bathrooms with hot showers. The campsite has

the same name as the complex located only five minutes away from the

lodge. Wiñaywayna is an impressive complex made up of an agricultural

center with numerous terraces, a religious sector and an urban sector.

Day 04: Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu Machu Picchu Travel

On this fourth and last day we get up at 4.00 am to leave Wiñaywayna an

hour later and climb to Intipunku, or The Sun Gate. This will take an hour of

hiking along a trail of flat stones on the edges of cliffs in highland jungle.

(Black Lagoon) and enter the cloud-forest to finally arrive at Sayacmarca

(3624 masl). This is a beautiful complex made up of a semicircular

construction, enclosures at different levels, narrow streets, liturgical

fountains, patios and irrigation canals. Continuing up an easy climb, we

Page 6: Machu picchu travel

arrive at the third pass, the Abra de Phuyupatamarca (3700 masl). Along

this climb we can appreciate the magnitude of the Incas´ ancient craft, by

walking along paths semi-detached from the mountain, and seeing rocks

that fill up ravines in perfect order, saving the trail from the multileveled

Andean geography. We go through an Inca tunnel to later arrive at the

aforementioned pass and down to the complex of the same name. This is

one of the most complete and best-preserved archaeological complexes

From this fabulous spot, we may see the sunrise over the sacred citadel of

Machu Picchu. From Intipunku we descend into Machu Picchu, and 40

minutes later we enter the citadel from the highest point through the

¨House of the Guardians¨. We then descend to the control point where we

register ourselves and leave our backpacks. We immediately begin a

complete guided tour of the Inca citadel that will take approximately two

hours. You will then have free time to walk around, climb the Huaynapicchu

Mountain, where one can experience spectacular views of all of Machu

Picchu, the valleys and mountains that surround it, or visit the Temple of the

Moon and the fabulous Inca Bridge. In the afternoon, we meet in the town of

Aguas Calientes where, if you like, you can visit and relax in the thermal

baths. From here we take the train to the city of Cusco, where we will arrive

after nightfall.
