Itineray Details
Day 01: Cusco - Inca Trail - Aguas Calientes
The Machu Picchu 2 day hike begins in Cusco or the Sacred Valley. We recommend you check the Starting point & Pick-up details below. According your hotel ubication, our guide will provide the exclatly hour to pick you up.
Early in the morning, we pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb and transfer you during a 2-hour ride to the Ollantaytambo train station. There, we board the train to Km 104, our starting point. Our guide will provide recommendations about the trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu.
Before starting the hike, it is very important to present your original passport at the control point. The ranger will compare your passport with your Inca Trail permits. This process takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Once completed, we begin the Machu Picchu hike.
We cross the Vilcanota River via a wood and metal bridge. The first archaeological site we visit is Chachabamba, where you will receive a guided tour. Then, we continue through a mixture of vegetation and cloud forest. On the way, we can enjoy a refreshing dip in a waterfall. During the short Inca Trail, we will appreciate bromeliads and orchids, and listen to the songs of local birds. We arrive at the campsite of Wiñay, where we have lunch and rest before continuing to another significant Incan site - Wiñay Wayna. It is considered the sister site of Machu Picchu, and you will have a guided tour of this important Incan enclosure.
Later on, we walk up the Inca rock stairs to the control point. During the ascent, you may use your hands for support. At the ranger control, we again present your documents before continuing our hike to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) to admire the sunset over Machu Picchu and the surrounding landscapes.
After enjoying the amazing view, we descend to the Machu Picchu citadel, where we will go to the Guardian's House. From there, you can take the best post pictures of the Inca citadel. However, it will be too late to have a guided tour of the Incan city today, so we will descend slowly to Aguas Calientes Town, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the way. We spend the night in a comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes
Places to Visit in this day on the Inca Trail
Day 02: Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco
The wait is worth it! The first day was a beautiful hike without difficulty, but the views make the Inca Trail travel worthwhile.
On the second day of the Machu Picchu hike, we have an early breakfast and take a bus up to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. During the route, we will appreciate the Vilcanota River that you saw on the first day.
Upon arrival at the citadel, you will first present your passport at the third control point located at the Machu Picchu gate. Once the check-in is completed, we continue with a short hike to circuit 5 Machu Picchu. According to Machu Picchu regulations, this circuit is in the lower part of the Inca citadel, where you can see the platforms, the Llacta, and other important Inca sites.
Our tour guide will show us around circuit 5 for about 2 hours, explaining its history and purposes. You can see some animals there, such as llamas and birds. After the guided tour, you will return to the main gate, where you can take the bus down to Aguas Calientes. If you want to make the most of your experience, you can book either Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain (peaks above Machu Picchu) well in advance. This gives you an opportunity to climb up for either 45 minutes (Huayna Picchu) or 1.5 hours (Machu Picchu Mountain) to take some panoramic photos of the Inca citadel.
Machu Picchu is both the best and the least known site of the Incas as it is not mentioned in any Spanish conquistadors' chronicles, so contemporary archaeologists can only speculate on its functions. Local Quechuan farmers had known about Machu Picchu for centuries before an 11-year-old boy showed the American historian Hiram Bingham (who was searching for Vilcabamba) this site on July 24, 1911. At that time, the rest of the world became aware of its existence. However, the site was covered with thick vegetation, so Hiram Bingham and his team returned between 1912 and 1915 to clear its surface. Over the years, extensive work has been done on excavating and studying the site. Despite these efforts, many unanswered questions remain.
Once you arrive in Aguas Calientes, you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo, where our representative will be waiting to transfer you to Cusco. The 2 day Inca Trail ends at your hotel, Airbnb, or near the main square, according to your preference. It's very important to let us know in your briefing where you want our driver to drop you off, or our guide will suggest a location.

If you still like to get on the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, you would need to pay a new permit (US$ 100.00). So, we would like to kindly ask you to be very careful when sending us your personal information.
Can you use your old passport to book the permit and then exchange it with your new passport?
Yes, it is possible, BUT it is very important to bring a copy of your old passport with you too! When on the Inca Trail, you can present your current passport along with a copy of your old passport.

How Hard Is to Hike the 2 Day Inca Trail?
Mount Machu Picchu & Huayna Picchu
The Machu Picchu Mountain, also known as the 'Old Mountain', is the mountain on which the Inca citadel was built. It is located at an altitude of 3,082 meters, which almost 600 metres above the Inca city. Machu Picchu was denominated after this mountain.
At present, the Machu Picchu Mountain is able to receive 800 tourists daily, who ascend the wide mountain path while experiencing breathtaking views of the entire geography of the place. The path is ideal for family visitors since it is neither steep nor has vertiginous gorges, unlike Huayna Picchu.
To be able to visit the mountain, you need to acquire a Machu Picchu + Mountain Ticket in advance!
Huayna Picchu, or the 'Young Mountain', is a mountain situated north of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. It is the summit that stands out in the classic postcard of the Wonders of the World and lies at an altitude of 2,693 metres, 300 metres higher than the Inca city. On the way up, there is the Temple of the Moon, Temple of the Moon, a religious site carved in the stone of a cave.
The Huayna Picchu climb is requested by most of the adventurous visitors as they enjoy taking selfies there. To reach its top, one must ascend a narrow path till the margins of vertigo cliffs to be rewarded by splendid views of the New Wonder of the World at the end. The climb is considered one of the most incredible short walks in the world. However, only 400 visitors can enter it daily.
In order to hike Huayna Picchu, you need to buy a Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu Ticket (USD 80/person) beforehand!
In case, it is sold out, Tierras Vivas books the Machu Picchu Mountain for you.
Appropriate Clothing
Hiking pants and T-shirts are recommended during the day, completed by sweaters, fleeces, and waterproof jackets. It is very necessary to have light raingear available at your daypack (rain poncho or jacket and/or rain pants) as the weather changes easily and rains can suddenly occur. At night, warm clothing is required, down jackets can be useful as well as a fleece sweatshirt and a jacket. During the day (if sunny) and in Machu Picchu, convertible hiking pants are handy as they can be switched into shorts if necessary. Machu Picchu has a warm climate, getting only cold at night. For more complete advice, please see the below section “Short Inca Trail - Suggested Items”.
Pack for Your Trek
Generally speaking, you should pack as lightly as possible since you will carry your luggage from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes Town. We recommend keeping the weight under 5 kg/10lb (including personal clothes). Remember that you take your daypack with you. As you spend a night at a hotel in Machu Picchu, you do not need to bring a sleeping bag.
Do not forget to bring a cover for your backpack, because the weather on Inca Trail is changeable a lot, so it is hard to predict rain. If you do not have any, we recommend putting your clothes and other belongings inside a plastic bag.

Inca Trail Weather
Cusco's Weather
The high-mountain region of Cusco has well-defined winter and summer seasons. Winter days (June - August) are very sunny, dry, and warm, but the temperature drops to near freezing at night. Summer (January to March) is characterized by rain. December and January are two of the nicest months for trekking with only occasional rain shower while observing blooming flowers.
The heaviest rainfalls usually occur between January and March.
October is still dry, but colder, with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees at night.
Inca Trail Weather
The rainy season from November to April gives the feeling of a tropical downpour. Heavy rain, but rain showers usually do not last long or rain is often at night.
From May to September (which is the high tourist season), temperatures alongside the Short Inca Trail range from 20 - 35º C during the day when is sunny to 10 - 20º C during the day if it is cloudy and 5 - 15º C at night (either spend in the Aguas Calientes Town or the Puente Ruinas campsite). At Wiñaywayna and Machu Picchu, where altitudes are lower, temperatures are usually warmer (warm clothes are still recommended at night, anyway).
February - the Inca Trail is closed due to maintenance all the month which falls into the so-called "low season". At that time, you can still enjoy hiking to Machu Picchu though. For instance, you might do the Salkantay Trek, Short Salkantay trek, or the Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu without struggling with crowds of hikers.
Landslides are an occasional problem. Although this was rare, it happened that visitors got stuck on Machu Picchu or between Aguas Calientes and Cusco, because a driver blocked the road. However, the mud was quickly removed and travel continues without further problems.
