Day
1: Chillca – Llaqtapata A
spectacular drive through the Sacred Valley of the Incas takes us
to Chillca, our trailhead. Crossing a footbridge, we take an undulating
trek through a dry cactus zone beneath soaring views to the snows
of Mt. Verónica, with the turbulent Urubamba river on our
right. We reach our campsite at the imposing sculpted terraces of
Inca Llaqtapata, and explore further downstream to the outlying
areas of this massive ancient farming complex.
Day
2: Llaqtapata – Llulluchapampa
The trail climbs gently into the mountains through the last inhabited
village of Huayllabamba, and then more steeply past a rushing stream
through enchanted native polylepis woodland. Crossing the rim of
a small plateau, we abruptly find ourselves in the puna, the treeless
grasslands of the high Andes. We camp below mighty crags, looking
eastward to the snowpeaks and valleys of the Huayanay massif.
Day
3: Llulluchapampa – Phuyupatamarca
We climb to the first and highest pass, Warmiwañusca (4,200m/13,776ft),
with spectacular views of the trail ahead to the second pass. Descending
to the forested Pacamayo valley we pick up an Inca stairway and
ascend again past the small Inca site of Runkuracay. We reach the
second pass, where the landscape opens onto spectacular new views
to the snowpeaks of the Pumasillo range, then descend to the ruins
of Sayacmarca (Inaccessible Town), an intricate labyrinth of houses,
plazas and water channels, perched precariously on a rocky spur
overlooking the Aobamba valley. The Inca trail, now a massive buttressed
structure of granite paving stones, continues along the steep upper
fringes of the cloud forest through a colorful riot of orchids,
bromeliads, mosses and ferns. At the third pass we camp by pinnacles
topped with Inca viewing platforms, overlooking the archaeological
complex of Phuyupatamarca (Cloud-level Town).
Day
4: Phuyupatamarca - Machu Picchu
We explore the wondrous maze of Inca stone towers, fountains and
stairways spilling down the mountainside at Phuyupatamarca then
begin a long descent through ever-changing layers of cloud forest.
An Inca stairway partly cut from living granite leads us finally
to the site of Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young), the largest and
most exquisite of the Inca Trail sites. In the afternoon we follow
the last stretch of trail across a steep mountainside through a
lush, humid cloud-forest of giant ferns and broad-leaf vegetation.
Suddenly we cross the stone threshold of Intipunku (Sun Gate) and
encounter an unforgettable sweep of natural beauty and human artistry
-a backdrop of twisting gorge and forested peaks framing the magical
city of Machu Picchu.
Day 5: Machu Picchu – Cusco
We return to Machu Picchu by bus and spend the day in both guided
and individual exploration, visiting the best-known features of
this astounding and mysterious Inca settlement. Some will want to
take the optional hike to the summit of Wayna Picchu for an amazing
overview of the site, while others may want to investigate Machu
Picchu's multitude of hidden nooks and corners.
After a full-on experience of this glorious monument to the Inca
achievement, we return to Aguas Calientes and board the return train
to Cusco.
