This majestic mountain was an alternative home from many Incas during the Empire, between the road to Machu Picchu. Maybe the Vilcabamba mountain is well known but the trek to Machu Picchu is not famous and that makes it special because we can realize a challenging but at the same time quiet tour. Considerate like a hidden treasure because is not completely explore yet. Generally the Vilcabamba hike is finished on 6 days, each one with new explorations and archaeological sites to discover, the ruins and monuments are compared to the magnificent view from beautiful landscapes. It’s really amazing, see the animals and vegetation you will find along the trip, incredibly valleys and admirable lakes also have a good panoramic view, before to reach to Machu Picchu we’ll have to crossing between unknown territories and beautiful landscapes for then descending until the specatular jungle.
Walking on inca trails preserved and exploring the unexplored where there is a story for every Inca monument that you see along the trip. All the time will be beautiful for your eyes, seeing the tropical jungles and snow mountains that is inevitable to take pictures. Crossing by Vitcos, Ñustrahispana and the lost citadel which are the most important sites along the Vilcabamba trail.
Maybe it can be quiet but also is known for the challenging paths, is for that an acclimatization in few days before the trek would be nice to finish the trek. Don’t worry, because at the end of the trail you’ll have your reward, the lost citadel of Machu Picchu. So, no doubt Vilcabamba trek to Machu Picchu is a good alternative of Inca Trail.
At Tierras Vivas, we are happy to promote and practice sustainable tourism by being eco-friendly and supporting local communities. We are again supporting Sernamp this Inca Trail 2023 with picking up trash and clearing the trail

Tierras Vivas DOES NOT permit this exploitation!! We guarantee that our porters and horses carry only an amount given by the Peruvian law!! There is still a long way to go when it comes to a reserve of adequate meals, backpacks and warm dry sleeping accommodation.
Our guide will visit your 2 or 1 day before the trek and He/ She will give you a briefing and more information about your trip and the suggest items. So it is very important, let us know, where you will be staying in Cusco. You can send us this information 2 week before your trek.
All Vilcabamba Tour groups are accompanied by a Tierras Vivas Tour Guide. The aim of our Tour Guides is to take a hassle out of our customers’ trips and to help them to have the best trip in Peru. The Tour Guides provide all the information on places visited, offer suggestions of what to see and to do, recommend a good place to eat and introduce to his/her colleagues. The Guides have a broad general knowledge of each country visited during a tour, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local Tour Guides where we think that more specific knowledge could add more enjoyment to visited places.
Generally speaking you should pack as lightly as possible. The horses carry your luggage from Huancacalle (1st day) to Yanatalie (4th day). 6 day hike of the Vilcabamba Peru, our chef takes your luggage by bus to Hidrolectrica. From there to Aguas Calientes, you are expected to carry your own luggage (max 3 hrs), in case, the local train running, our chef take your luggage to the town. We recommend keeping the weight under 7 kg/15lb. You will need to carry clothes.
If very important your take best cover backpacker, because the weather in Vilcabamaba Trek is change every date, we can’t predict it raining or no. If you don’t have, we recommended to put your clothes, sleeping bag and other personal equipment inside the plastic bag.
