Completing Day 2 and beginning Day 3 certainly deserves a pat on the back! We begin hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu early again, waking up at 6:30am to begin what is commonly felt to be the most beautiful day of the whole Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Tour. We hike for 2 hours along and begin to enter the jungle, known as the Cloud Forest. Towards the end of the Inca flats we begin to make our way up to the last peak at Phuyupatamarka (3600 meters) from where we’ll have great views overlooking the Urubamba River. From Phuyupatamarka it´s a 3 hour walk down a flight of steps to our last campsite, close to Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young). Wiñay Wayna is the most spectacular Inca site on the Peru Inca Trail Tour after Machu Picchu and the most popular campsite because of its proximity to Machu Picchu.

Considered: The most exciting and magical day (early wake up 3.30 AM)

Area: High Cloud and Subtropical Forest

Meals: Breakfast

Weather: Hot and very humid (bring lots of water)

Wake up time is at 3:30AM. We’ll eat breakfast at 4:00AM and wait at the checkpoint to be one of the first to start trekking when they open the gates at 5:30AM. We’ll wave goodbye to our team of porters and chef and then it’s "Forward On” to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). We will wake up early after a refreshing night to enjoy the serenity in the soft morning light as hike 2 hours from Wiñay Wayna to the Sun Gate or “Inti Punku.” Here, the Inca Trail 4 day trek officially ends. From here we have spectacular views of the mountains and Machu Picchu in all its glory.

We will walk downhill for 1 hour and enter the hidden Royal Citadel of the Incas! Here we will have a 2-hour guided tour through this incredible ancient city to visit temples, terraces, palaces, priest’s houses, the sundial, the industrial sector, and the farming fields. Be amazed at the engineering ingenuity of the Incas which was so far ahead of their time and still partially a mystery today! Without having modern tools or even steel and iron to work with, the people who built this city were genius in organizing this community in a sustainable and beautiful way on the side of a mountain, even bringing water in canals through its streets for the people to use.

After this tour, you are free to explore by yourself. Another option is walking to see the Incan Bridge. You will be able to stay and enjoy this magical city for as long as you need before taking the bus down to the town of Aguas Calientes. Here if you have left time before the train, you will be able to have lunch, visit the hot springs, and walk around the town and the artisan market. At 16:22 hrs (subject to availability), we will take the train to Ollantaytambo. A private bus will pick up our group and drop you off at your hotel in Cusco at about 20:00 hrs. Rest your feet and your body now, but we can assure you your heart will still be soaring for weeks and years to come!

Lovely 4 day Trek to Machu Picchu

Review of: 4 Day Inca Trail Tours to Machu Picchu

James K wrote a review Jun 5: We did the 4 day tour with Alex Huaman Gutierres as our tour guide. He managed to safely guide 9 of us through the challenging but hugely rewarding 4 days hiking. The food cooked by Clemente was fantastic with three course meals being offered for lunch and dinner and a huge amount of variety between the days. All the staff were fantastic and must give a special mention to Alex who not only kept us safe but also gave us a great tour of macchu picchu upon arrival. Would recommend Alex & this tour to anyone who wants to see the beautiful place that is macchu picchu!! 

Experience of a lifetime

"We did a 3 day challenge trek and it was just perfect. Our guide was Efraim and he made sure that we learn all about Inca trail and the sights. Also, he organized everything seamlessly. The trek itself is amazing, nature is unbelievably beautiful. Also, the cook Clemente was making food that we will remember for a long time. Higly recommended."

Challenging, rewarding, breathtaking

Review of: 4-Day Inca Trail Tours to Machu Picchu

Hannah F wrote a review March 2022: "Absolutely incredible trip. Hard to explain the beauty and immersion we experienced during the hike — breathtaking sites, warm and welcoming people, challenging yet rewarding days. Efrain, our guide, was knowledgeable, perceptive, kind, and funny. I wasn't sure what to expect during our time, which I think was the right way to enter into this hike. The flora and terrain and weather blew my mind. Machu Picchu was very cool to see, but the most beautiful and desolate Inca sites along the way were even better. Not much more to say than if you're considering this 4 day hike, do it and see for yourself. And do it with Tierras Vivas. And request Efrain."

Great Authentic Adventure with excellent crew 

Emily D Wrote a review October 2021: "We had an amazing experience with Erfrain, Andres, Enrique, Miguel, Ardiel, Christian, and Leonce. The trek itself was challenging but beautiful. Our guide Efrain was very kind to share some of his ancestral Incan language and customs, including allowing us to take part in a very special ceremony when we got to the highest point of our trek. Overall an amazing experience." 

Inca Trail Tour Review

Kenton O wrote a review August 2021: "It was a phenomenal experience. Life changing, in fact. The trails are so beautiful and the views are unbeatable. We didn’t experience any issues or drama with the guide company or the locals. Great vibes the whole time. We learned a lot about the local lands and Inca culture."

"Our 2 guides were Jose and Marco. I couldn’t have asked for better guides. Not only their knowledge of the trails, but also their personality and ability to inspire us to get the most out of the experience.

I consider Jose and Marco friends for life now."

Machu Picchu to Cusco Transfer Schedules

Of course weather on Inca Trail is unpredictable. No matter what month you are doing the Inca Trail Tours 4 day, please make sure that you have rain gear that includes a waterproof jacket, pants, poncho and waterproof gloves. Many people forget about gloves, but being cold and wet makes hiking very unpleasant.

As soon as people book their Machu Picchu Inca Trail Tour, they start wondering about Inca Trail Altitude Sickness. The air at high Inca Trail altitudes contains less oxygen than at sea level and forces your body to work harder to get the oxygen it needs. This is why we always recommend spending at least two days in Cusco before beginning any trek. 

With Inca Trail Altitude Sickness, you may first feel like you have the flu or a hangover. You may have a headache, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, trouble sleeping, trouble breathing during exercise. If any of these effects become severe, please contact our office and we will help you get to a doctor.

Most of the time, these symptoms will be mild. We always recommend easing into activity slowly, allowing your body to adjust. Drink plenty of fluids such as water or coca tea.

Avoid drinking a lot of alcohol and coffee. They will cause you to urinate more often and become dehydrated. Avoid smoking. Smoking makes it more difficult for your body to get oxygen. Avoid sleeping pills. They may cause shallow breathing at night, making it more difficult for your body to absorb oxygen while you sleep.

Remember the trek to Machu Picchu is not a race. Go slowly, it will give your body time to adjust to the mountain and Inca Trail Altitude.

If very important your take best cover backpacker, because the weather on Inca Trail is change every date, we can’t predict it raining or no. If you don’t have, we recommended to putting your clothes, sleeping bag and other personal equipment inside the plastic bag.

Travel insurance for Inca Trail Tours 4 day is inexpensive and strongly recommended. These Machu Picchu Inca Trail Tours are planned months ahead of time and you can never predict what will happen. Adventure travelling includes more risk than your normal trip. Insurance is a way to protect the investment you have made on this amazing journey. 

We higly recommend this Travel Insurance, to offer you a calm trip and avoid any percanse during the whole Machu Picchu Inca Trail Hike, so you can have an incredible trip without any worry. Hiring an insurance does not mean that there are risks when traveling to Peru, since the rate of tourist accidents is very low. We simply want to offer you an unforgettable experience, without any worries.

Tipping is part of the tradition of any trek to Machu Picchu and while we pay good wages to our entire team, anything extra is always appreciated. Please know that this is not obligatory and that you should never feel pressured into this. Porters and Chef prefer soles if possible. Guide is happy with US, soles or even your credit card  The amount is entirely a personal preference: however as a guideline we suggest each hiker contributes 60 - 80 soles for the porters, and 150 soles for the chef. More is always appreciated.

Also, it’s very important to take EXTRA MONEY. You need to take at least 200-300 soles emergency money.

It’s important that you are honest with your guide about any health concerns you may suffer from. While guides are not medical professionals, they are trained in First Aid. We also work with a clinic in Cusco that can help assist our team.

You are responsible for assessing whether a Peru Machu Picchu Hike is suitable for you. You should consult your physician to confirm your fitness for travel and participation in any planned activities. You should seek your physician’s advice on vaccinations and medical precautions. Tierras Vivas will not provide medical advice. It is your responsibility to assess the risks and requirements of each aspect of the Machu Picchu Inca Trail Tour based on your own unique circumstances, limitations, fitness level and medical requirements.

If you develop extreme altitude sickness or any other illness that prevents you from hiking, but you wish to still visit Machu Picchu by train, we will work with you to coordinate this trip. This will be a new trip and may require additional fees. We will use as many of the purchased logistics from the original tour to keep fees low.

If you experience issues while hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and can not continue, a porter will accompany you to the closest road and wait while a car comes to pick you up and bring you to the nearest health clinic.

May I change the departure date after the tickets have been bought?

Unfortunately the answer is “No”. Once the tickets have been bought the government does not allow any changes, so we can’t change any departure date after the ticket has been bought. Tickets are also not transferable nor refundable.

*** If you cancel your Peru Machu Picchu Inca Trail, the deposit is not refundable at all! 

What about the balance?

It would be greatly appreciated if you pay in cash at our office (US dollars or Peruvian soles) here in Cusco. We have many cash machines in the historical center to withdraw money. You can also pay by VISA online but you will have to pay a 6% service charge, charged by VISA.

Can I hike to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain after visit the ruins?

Machu Picchu is most beautiful when seen from above, which is why hiking one of the mountains next to the ruins is very popular to do after your tour.

Huaynapicchu is the most popular and must be booked in advance... sells out very quickly. This hike takes approximately 45 minutes to the top and another 45 minutes back down. Tickets are sold in time sessions dictating when you can start this hike. The 1st session is from 7-8 AM and the 2nd session is from 10-11AM. Again, this refers to when you can begin your hike and we normally book the second session so you can enjoy your tour with your guide first. This hike is done on your own, but your guide will show you where to begin.

Machu Picchu Mountain is a bit longer and a bit less popular. It takes 1.5 hours to the top and another 1.5 hours to the bottom. Again there are two time windows - from 7-8 AM and 9-10 AM and we normally purchase the second time window. Those who book the Inca Trail 4 day trek or 7 day Inca Trail CAN NOT do this hike. Time will not allow for this. Hiking either mountain will allow you to have some extra time at the ruins once you complete, as listed above.

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the Machu Picchu 4 day hike, your main luggage can be stored at our office or at your hotel, both free of charge.

On the way, you can observe stunning landscape of Andean mountains with snowy peaks and beautiful mountain lagoons, meet local people of remote Andean villages and visit the overwhelming Machu Picchu on the last day!! You can climb up either to Huayna Picchu or to Machu Picchu Mountain as well! Lares Trek to Machu Picchu

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days

The Inca Quarry trail to Inca Trail involves 2 day hike to Inca Quarry trek and Short Inca Trail.
