Trekkers normally take 4 day hike to "Classic Inca Trail". It starts from one of two points: 88 km (55 miles) or 82 km (51 miles) from Cusco on the Urubamba River at approximately 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) or 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) altitude, respectively.
Both of these trail segments meet above the Inca ruins of Patallaqta (sometimes called Llaqtapata), a site used for religious and ceremonial functions, crop production, and housing for soldiers from the nearby hilltop site of Willkaraqay, an ancient pre-Inca site first inhabited around 500 BC. The trail undulates, but overall ascends along the Kusichaka River. At the small village Wayllapampa ("grassy plain", Wayllabamba) the trail intersects with the "Mollepata Trail" at 3,000 metres (9,800 ft).
Small, permanent settlements are located adjacent to the trail, and Wayllapampa has approximately 400 inhabitants (130 families) spread along this portion of the trail. Pack animals—horses, mules, donkeys, and llamas—are allowed.
At Wayllapampa the trail to Machu Picchu turns west and begins ascending along a tributary of the Kusichaka. Because of previous damage caused by hooves, pack animals are not allowed on the remainder of the trail.
As the trail ascends toward Warmi Wañusqa, or "Dead Woman's Pass",it passes through differing habitats, one of which is a cloud forest containing Polylepis trees. The campsite at Llulluch'apampa (Llulluchapampa) is located on this stretch of trail at 3,800 metres (12,500 ft). The pass itself is located at 4,215 m (13,829 ft) above sea level, and is the highest point on the Classic Inca Trail. After crossing the pass the trail drops steeply into the Pakaymayu drainage. At a distance of 2.1km and 600m below the pass is the campground Pakaymayu.
The Inca Trail is the most famous trekking route to Machu Picchu, therefore, we recommend you make your Inca Trail book 2022 & 2023 early.
If you do not have a lot of time or are a person with little physical resistance, you can choose the Short Inca Trail Tour, this alternative route only lasts 2 days and 1 night
If this will be your first trip to Peru, Cusco and Machu Picchu are practically obligatory. The question is "what else?", and the answer depends on how much time you have, and what your interests are.
You can combine Machu Picchu with a number of other Andean attractions, the Amazon rain forest, or pre-Inca archaelogical sites on the coast. If this is not your first trip to Peru, the last itineraries in this section offer you something little different.
