FIRST DAY THE START OF THE ADVENTURE

The kilometer 82 is where the trail starts. 40 minutes before the km 82 there will be a breakfast stop in Ollantaytambo (06:30-7am) to load up on energy (breakfast – not included).

THE SECOND DAY – THE MOST CHALLENGING DAY

After waking up at 5:30am (maybe at 05:00-depending on your Guide) and having breakfast, we will start a steep ascent towards the highest pass (Abra de Warrmihuañusca, the tourists called ‘Dead Woman’s Pass’ – 4215m/13779ft).

THIRD DAY- BACK IN THE PAST! BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND A SHORT WALK TO CAMP

This is considered the most impressive day so just keep thinking of that on the ascent on day 2! Again we wake up for breakfast at 6:30 am, and start the day with a gentle climb to visit the archaeological site of ‘Phuyupatamarca’(meaning ‘Town in the Clouds’) and to reach the third highest point on the trail (3680m).

FOUR DAY SUN GATE AND MACHUPICCHU– YOU MADE IT! We leave the last campsite at 5:30am on the final day (box lunch 3.30-4:00am). It is an early start in order to get to ‘Inti Punku’ (‘Sun gate’) (2750m/8800ft) before sunrise.
