Please be sure to take your original passport with you to enter the Inca Trail. The first 2 hours of walking are relatively easy. Our first stop will be at the magical Patallacta archaeological site that shows its stone walls amid the vegetation. We will continue for 2 more hours until we get to our lunch spot. You’ll be surprised by the delicacies we’ve prepared for you. We only have 2.5 hours more of walking to arrive at our first camp located in Ayapata (3,300 m / 10,826 ft).

It’s only 20 more minutes until we reach our second camp in Chaquicocha (3,600 m / 11,811 ff). After dinner, if you still have strength, we’ll be able to observe the stars and learn a little more about the fascinating dark constellations of the Incas. The night skies in the Andes, far from the artificial lighting of the cities, deserve to be seen.

In addition, you’ll have the privilege of observing the impressive perpetual snows of the Apu Salkantay in the distance, the second most important glacier in the Cusco region. Let yourself be surprised by the panoramic view of the extensive Vilcabamba mountain range. Later, you’ll begin to ascend towards the last summit of the path in Phuyupatamarka (3,600 m / 11,811 ft) from where you’ll be able to appreciate the waters of the Urubamba, a sacred river that runs through this territory as if it were an immense cosmic snake. Then you will descend for 3 hours to our last camp near the Wiñay Wayna archaeological site. This complex, whose name means “eternal youth”, is considered the most impressive of the entire route, not counting Machu Picchu of course. You are now very close to the lost city of the Incas!

Bow down to this holy place that has quietly waited for your visit to change something that’s hidden deep within you. We have 1 more hour of walking to enter the Lost City of the Incas. At approximately 7:40 a.m. we’ll arrive at the last control point and enjoy a 2-hour guided tour.The intimate connection between human beings and nature is revealed in a powerful way in Machu Picchu. Immense stones harmoniously linked together form temples, alleys, houses, and aqueducts that are still working after 5 centuries. Machu Picchu was built in an inaccessible place to resist the fierce attack of oppression and oblivion, and to remind modern men that only in true communion with Pacha Mama or Mother Earth can we fully exist.

After the tour, we’ll give you the bus tickets so you can go to Aguas Calientes. In this way, you’ll have all the time available to explore this mythical citadel on your own.

Your guide will then deliver your train tickets to you. Generally, the Expedition class train departure time is 15:20 p.m. or 16:22 p.m. You’ll arrive in Ollantaytambo or Poroy depending on the type of train you choose.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Ministry of Culture of Peru is the entity in charge of regulating the use of the Inca Trail and issuing entry permits. To access the Inca Trail it’s essential that you have a permit from the Ministry of Culture that matches the information in your passport exactly: name, passport number, nationality, and age. Only officially licensed tourism agencies can secure these permits, which are not transferable under any circumstances. If you want to change the date of your excursion you have to make sure that there are spaces available on the new date and buy a new permit. They are rules of the Government of Peru that we all must follow. If there are no permits available for the date you want, there are other incredible options to walk to Machu Picchu. We’ll be happy to find the perfect excursion for you.

Information Before leaving for the Inca Trail 4 Days Trek

We want to make your trip to Peru as memorable and as easy as possible. In this section, you will find speedy answers to all those questions you had about Inca Trail 4 Days in one place. Please read the following information carefully – it will help you with any questions about our services.
Has another question that we haven’t answered here? Drop us a line, and we will get back to you asap!

Briefing or informative meeting

All information meetings are held in your hotel at 6:00 p.m., one night before the tour begins. If you cannot attend, you must coordinate another time at the Peru Hike offices. These meetings last approximately 30 to 45 minutes and there you will be given a small duffel bag, in which you’ll put all the belongings you intend to bring on the trek that won’t be in your day pack.

Duffel bag or canvas case

ou’ll receive a canvas case or duffel bag during your briefing. The porters will take them on the way and will deliver them to you when you get to each camp. They measure 66 cm / 2 ft. Long x 36 cm / 1 ft. Wide.

A maximum of 5 kg is allowed for each duffel bag that includes the weight of your sleeping bag, mat, clothes and other personal items.

Payment of Trek Balance (in Cusco)

The trek has to be paid for in full by at least 7.30 pm two days before departure. For example, if your tour departs on a Wednesday, then you must come to our office before 7.30 pm on Monday.

It would be much appreciated if you pay the trek balance in cash US dollars or local currency. You can withdraw some money from several ATMs along Avenida Sol (either in US dollars or local Peruvian Soles). You can pay by credit card or PAYPAL online, but you will have to pay an 6% service charge, charged by VISA and PAYPAL. We do not accept bank checks or payment of the balance by traveler’s checks.

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the travel, your main luggage can be stored at our office or at your hotel, both free of charge.

Any equipment that you are not going to need on the trek can be stored safely in your hotel. Nearly every hotel will provide this service. Don’t leave items of value with your bags, put them in the hotel safe and obtain an itemized receipt (In the unlikely case of theft many insurance companies require that you have a copy of the receipt itemizing all the items). Best put items such as credit cards inside a sealed, signed envelope for extra peace of mind.

Pick up of guests

Peru Hike can pick you up from your hotel, as long as it’s in the Historic Center of Cusco. The pickup time will be coordinated with your guide in the briefing. The pickup time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes due to traffic. Cusco is a very old city, therefore, it has many narrow cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnbs may be located on streets without access to cars or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to transport luggage. We strongly recommend that you book accommodation with good access.

Return to Cusco

Returning from Machu Picchu requires quite a bit of logistics, but don’t worry. Everything is included in your tour!

In Machu Picchu you’ll board a bus that will take you for 25 minutes to the small city of Aguas Calientes. The buses are boarded according to your arrival.
In Aguas Calientes you’ll board a train to Ollantaytambo or Cusco. Your guide will give you the train tickets where the boarding time will be shown. Make sure you’re on the platform 30 minutes early. The train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo takes 2 hours.
Once you arrive at the station, our representative, identified with the Peru Hike clothing, will be waiting to transfer you to Plaza San Francisco, in Cusco. The trip from Ollantaytambo to Plaza San Francisco takes 2 hours.
In San Francisco, depending on your hotel’s location, we will take you to a smaller car from our company (Hyundai H1) to transfer you faster to your hotel in Cusco.

Group tours

Group tours are made up of different types of people. Physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also accept that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, each person can go at their own pace on the route. It may be the case that a group wishes to modify the tour; however, it will be the guide who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if said modifications can be made.

Strikes and demonstrations

Strikes and demonstrations are usually frequent in Peru and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your excursion as planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date. Under these circumstances, tours may also be cancelled. In case of changes or cancellations, all situations will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority and our decisions will be made to protect it.

Lost objects

You’re responsible for your objects during the tour. Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our trucks, tents, or restaurants.

Wow, I will write this review in separated topics to facilitate for you who is reading, to understand each component of what you are getting into, regarding Peru Hike services.

First of all, it was one of the MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCES OF MY WHOLE LIFE.

ONLINE PURCHASE: After lots of research, my wife and I decided to finalise the process and purchase the Peru Hike tour to the Inca trail. We live in Australia, which means, we are far and the timezone is quite different. Even though, we had TOTAL support through Whatsapp messages about any question we may had. Hotel suggestions, possible rent of equipment, expected temperature and climate conditions, and anything an excited traveller could ask. Flor was the staff responsible for answering most of our requests, super informative, direct and extremely helpful. Including prices and options for possible tours to other tourist points.

TOUR GUIDES: Mario Salas and NIlton Carbajal were our guides, and I cannot express HOW DELIGHTED and GRATEFUL we are to these guys. Since day one ( a day before during the briefing), we had all the information we needed, straight to the point! This gave us a lot of trust in the process and the team, which is really important in a tour like the Inca Trail.
They were not only explaining everything they could during the trail, at the camping ground or at any moment someone asked a question (and we had LOTS of questions in our group haha) they were also taking care of all of us! It’s an extremely physical experience, and we had people from different backgrounds. They made meal time a real-time of confraternization, entertaining and making the whole environment feel like home (even in the middle of nowhere).
They are knowledgeable, empathetic, charismatic, responsible and fun!! Thank you so much guys, you enhanced our experience in a way that I cannot imagine without you.

FOOD: This is a chapter on itself! OMG, every meal was a banquet. Literally, the level of care with the food was from another world. Remember, we are in the middle of NOWHERE! They managed to even fold the napkins in a completely different way on every one of the main meals> My wife had food restrictions (vegetarian), and they prepared a different food for her every time. The menu did not repeat during all days!!! Come on, that’s incredible!

The porters are incredible!! REALLY. You will see!

You just need to focus on nature, your journey hiking and the memories that will shape you forever! 5 STARS

I booked this tour based on Tripadvisor review, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! I am satisfied with the entire experience from the trip planning & preparations by the operator, to our amazing mountain guides, porters, and awesome chef! We were taken very good care of on the mountain, our guides Julian and Joner made sure no one left behind. If there is something to be improved, it could be the pickup experience, I hope no one else had to wait in the outdoor chilly weather for an hour like I did. Overall I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an fulfilling Inca Trail journey.

I did the 3 night, 4 day Inca trail with friends and we had an incredible time. The historic sights, beautiful scenery, and unreal food prepared by the chefs made this experience wonderful. Our guide, Abelardo went above and beyond to ensure our group felt comfortable and confident the entire time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and it was an absolute joy getting to do the tour with him- we couldn’t have had asked for a better guide! I highly recommend booking this tour with Peru Hike for anyone considering doing the Inca trail.

The 4D/3N Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu with Peru Hike was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Peru Hike was recommended by a friend and they did not disappoint! The trip was really well organised and we had such a great group of 14 people (Team Pachamama)! Our guides Rosalio (Leo) and Yilbert were really fantastic – they were so knowledgeable about their culture and made the experience both interesting and fun and they really looked after us. The hike itself was breathtaking with loads of amazing Inca sites along the way, culminating in the spectacular Machu Picchu. The hike was broken up into manageable pieces, and with Peru Hike you also have the benefit of staying at smaller, more private campsites. Also a big shoutout to the chefs for the exceptional food they conjured up each day, as well as the porters who were absolute heroes and ensured we had a comfortable experience at the campsites. I would highly recommend Peru Hike , especially as they are a local company, delivered a great service and really care about their people.
