For four days, immerse yourself in the mountains, glaciers, and lakes of the Andes. Hike through valleys, visit communities, and have the opportunity to get up close and share with people who live immersed in their millenary culture.
Discover more about the Inca Empire by exploring small abandoned remains and other major archaeological centers located along the mythical Inca Trail.
Ascend from a valley to the Andean highlands, and experience two distinct geographical spaces that will change before your eyes.
Our journey begins crossing a lush valley along the Sillque River, surrounded by beautiful Andean flora, hummingbirds, a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Verónica, and the confluence of three rivers.
Discover Ancascocha, a remote and beautiful lake perched in the heart of the Andes, and hike through a condor zone. This sacred bird represents the sky or “Hanan Pacha” in the Andean cosmovision.
Explore the ruins of Inca Rakay, a small and abandoned Inca administrative center built in the fifteenth century.
Today the route invites you to visit Qesqua and Muyu Muyu, two small and picturesque communities that live frozen in time, a privileged opportunity to appreciate the customs and traditions in this area of the Andes.
Explore Paucarcancha, an Inca archaeological complex composed of agricultural terraces and some enclosures, located at the gates of the legendary Inca Trail.
Enter the Inca Trail and visit the spectacular remains of Llactapata, an ancient Inca village with plazas, enclosures, granaries, and impressive terraces built on the banks of the Urubamba River, which were discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1912.
The trek ends in Picaucucho village, very close to the station from which the trains depart to Machu Picchu.
If you are interested, we can continue with a visit to the great Inca citadel.
