Peru Packages: Explore the Path of the Inca

• Peru tour package to Cusco, Inca Trail & Machu Picchu
• We offer a price guarantee for Peru vacation packages
• Top testimonials, safety, and comfort
• Daily departures and fully customizable Latin America tours

This Peru tour package showcases the best of Cusco and the Sacred Valley before taking you on the journey of a lifetime along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. On this amazing trek, you’ll walk the ancient Inca Trail through rolling Andean peaks, stopping to explore Inca ruins, observe flora and fauna, and learn about traditional Andean culture.

You will start your adventure in Cusco, host to a fascinating mix of colonial and ancient architecture. Here you’ll explore the city on an expert-guided Cusco tour, and then visit the surrounding areas, including the Sacred Valley.

Cusco sits at 11,000 feet (3,400 meters) above sea level – a higher altitude than the Sacred Valley, most of the Inca Trail (apart from the high passes), and Machu Picchu. Spending time in Cusco will therefore help you to acclimate and prepare for the challenge ahead.

Then, you’ll start your journey on the famous Inca Trail. This is more than a hike; it is an excursion into the past, where you can learn about Inca civilization, culture, and society. The voyage and the final destination – the impressively beautiful ruins of Machu Picchu – are equally breathtaking. Completion of this difficult trek endows travelers with a sense of accomplishment and a greater understanding of how the Incas lived and thrived. This Peru vacation is the perfect mix of culture, history, and adventure for the eager traveler.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in booking the Inca Trail. Only 500 people per day (including guides and porters) are allowed to enter the Inca Trail and permits are regulated by local authorities. During the high season (June/July/August), it is best to secure your Inca Trail permit at least 5 months in advance. During the rest of the year, it is best to secure your Inca Trail permit at least 3 months in advance.

Day 1 : Arrival to Cusco & Cusco Tour

• You will be greeted at the airport in Cusco by one of our representatives. During the drive from the airport to your Cusco hotel, you’ll be able to see examples of Cusco’s Inca and Spanish colonial history as reflected in the city’s architecture. After arriving at your hotel, we advise you to rest for a while to help yourself acclimatize to the altitude.
• In the early afternoon, you’ll begin to explore the city with an expert-guided Cusco tour. On the main Plaza de Armas, you’ll visit the Cusco Cathedral and Santo Domingo Church, also known as Qoricancha (the Temple of the Sun). You will also travel by car to the outskirts of town to see archeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Tambomachay, Q'enko, and Puka Pukara.
• You will return to your hotel in the late afternoon to enjoy a relaxing evening. Be sure to check out our list of suggested Cusco restaurants.

Day 2 : Sacred Valley Tour

• Today, you’ll discover the beauty of Peru’s countryside. The first stop is Pisac, a town with a small plaza that comes to life on market days. Artisans display beautiful hand-woven garments, hand-crafted jewelry, trinkets, and other goods. This is also a great place to see the types of agricultural goods grown in the region and brought for trade in Pisac.
• Ollantaytambo is the next stop. Everything is impressive here, from the towering fortress lookout, to the centuries-old streets lined with huge Inca stones, to the spectacular valley landscape. Ollantaytambo was constructed at the height of the Inca Empire during the reign of Emperor Pachacuti. Decades later, the well-positioned township served as the last stronghold of the Inca against Spanish conquistadors.
• In the late afternoon, return to your hotel to enjoy a relaxing evening. It’s a good idea to go to bed early because hiking the Inca Trail will require an early morning start the next day.

Day 3 : Begin the Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu

• You will be picked up from your hotel for a scenic 2-hour drive through the charming Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo, where you can enjoy an optional breakfast. In town, you will pick up your trekking equipment and food and you’ll also meet the rest of your trek team. You will then continue by bus to Piscacucho (km 82), where the trail starts.
• Once you cross the Piscacucho Bridge over the Urubamba River, you will start the trek. You will walk on flat terrain along the shore of the river until you reach the small community of Miskay, where you will be able to rest. Continuing on a steeper path toward a high plateau, your efforts will be rewarded by a spectacular view of the Inca ruins of Patallacta.
• Patallacta, "Village in the Heights," is an archeological complex situated at the foot of a mountain on the left bank of the river Cusicancha, a tributary of the river Urubamba. There are many terraced fields here that probably served to feed other settlements and tambos (travelers’ rest stations) along the Inca Trail. The urban sector has more than a hundred structures, as well as an Inca altar called the Pulpituyoc.
• After lunch, you will continue the trek for another two hours until you reach the first campsite of Wayllabamba. This is the highlight of the day as it includes breathtaking views of the Vilcanota ridge on the other side of the Urumbamba River and the snow-covered Mount Veronica.
• Read our Peru For Less blog post Inca Trail Trek: Sites You’ll See Along the Way to learn more about some of the Inca ruins you may see during your Inca Trail journey.

Hike distance: 7.5 miles (12km)
Minimum altitude: 8,860 feet (2,700 meters)
Maximum altitude: 9,840 feet (3,000 meters)
Approximate time: 5 to 6 hours
Gradient: Moderate 

Day 4 : Inca Trail Trek

• The second day is the most rigorous, reaching the highest elevation sections of the Inca Trail, so you are encouraged to take your time. The walk is arduous, with a long steep climb to the Abra de Warmiwañusca known as the “Dead Woman's Pass,” at 16,000 feet (4,200 meters).
• When starting the hike, you can see the trail ahead of you zigzagging up the mountain. On the trail you will be able to appreciate the change in the natural landscape as you pass from the moderate temperatures of the valleys into the arid and cold high plains. Right before the pass, a campsite called Llulluchapampa sits on a small plain bordered by two streams of crystal clear water. There is a public bathroom here, and this is also a great resting place before the last stretch over the high pass at Warmiwañusca. Beyond it, a winding path of steps descends steeply across a natural valley and to the next campsite.
• Keep your eyes open for wildlife, in addition to the many avian species that live here, you may spot the Andean bear. Also called the spectacled bear for the golden circular area of fur around its eyes, this solitary creature is native to Andean cloud forest. You will end your hike at the Pacaymayo Valley campsite. Here you will have dinner and take a well-deserved rest after a strenuous day on the trail.

Hike distance: 5.6 miles (9 km)
Minimum altitude: 9,840 feet (3,000 meters)
Maximum altitude: 13,780 feet (4,200 meters)
Approximate time: 6 to 7 hours
Gradient: Challenging 

Day 5 : Inca Trail Trek

• After breakfast, the hike continues along a path rich with archeological treasures. A steep climb will lead you to the Runkurakay Pass. Halfway along the trail, you will encounter the ruins of Runkurakay, an Inca tambo, or lodge, of semi-circular design with a view of the valley of Pacaymayo, “Hidden River,” below. Another steep climb up Incan steps leads to the next pass, which offers spectacular views of the mountain ranges of Vilcabamba and Pumasillo.
• You will continue on to the lakes of Yanacocha and Sayacmarca. Aptly dubbed the “Inaccessible Town,” Sayacmarca is an interesting set of ruins located on a cliff with a panoramic view of the Aobamba valley and the snow-covered peak of Pumasillo. This construction comprises a labyrinth of very narrow corridors, some with exits and others without. The only access to the ruins is by a steep, but solid, stone staircase carved into the side of the mountain.
• Continuing on, you will pass Conchamarca, a small, flat archeological complex. Then the trail ascends again and you come to a 65-foot (20 meter) long tunnel with steps carved out of the rock. Continuing the ascent, you will reach the third and final mountain pass of the trek at Abra de Phuyupatamarca. The trail then continues downhill leading to the archeological site of Phuyupatamarca, “The Town in the Clouds.” This is undoubtedly one of the most unique towns on the Inca Trail. It is almost always covered in the mist rising from the cloud forest and is located on the side of a ravine looking down into the Urubamba Valley. The site is surrounded by terraced fields and offers beautiful views of the Urubamba Valley as well as the adjacent snowy peaks.
• As the day ends, you will head toward the ruins of Wiñay Wayna or “Forever Young,” where you will camp for your final night. The ruins consist of Incan agricultural terraces and are believed to have been a religious center where water was worshipped. Flower enthusiasts will be pleased to see the area’s fabulous pink orchids.
• The campsite on the final night has a simple restaurant and hot showers. Cold beers and a party in the evening are the norm, allowing you to say goodbye to your cook and porters who will walk ahead of you early the next morning to catch a train back to Cusco. For trekkers, an early start is also required to Machu Picchu in time for the spectacular sunrise.
• Remember, it is customary to make a tip pool, which will then be distributed to the team (guide, cook, and porters). A good tip amount ranges $10-$40 USD per hiker. Remember that these tips are voluntary, so feel free to tip according to the service you received.

Hike distance: 9.3 miles (15 km)
Minimum altitude: 8,860 feet (2,700 meters)
Maximum altitude: 1,2960 feet (3,950 meters)
Approximate time: 8 to 9 hours
Gradient: Moderate 

Day 6 : Machu Picchu Tour & Return to Cusco

• After an early start with breakfast at 4:30 a.m., you will be on the final leg of the trail by 5 a.m. in order to reach Inti Punku, the Sun Gate entrance to Machu Picchu for sunrise. The view is awe-inspiring and you can only imagine what the Incas must have felt after their grueling journey to this sprawling temple.
• From here you will descend to the citadel for a 2-hour guided tour of Machu Picchu. You will be able to appreciate the intricate stonework carved into the fantastic Andean scenery. The giant stones were hauled by hand to the top of the mountain centuries ago, and yet their foundations still remain. You will have the chance to explore the three zones of this centuries-old city: the urban, agricultural, and adjacent zones. The Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana, and the Principal Bath are only a few of the impressive sights that you will see.
• After your tour, you have the option to explore more of the site on your own and capture some final photos.
• In the afternoon, you will take a comfortable train back to Cusco. You also have the option to stay an extra night in Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu.
• Check out our Machu Picchu Travel Guide for more information on what to see and do, as well as Machu Picchu restaurants that we recommend for tasty dining.

Hike distance: 2 miles (3 km)
Minimum altitude: 7,875 feet (2,400 meters)
Maximum altitude: 8,860 feet (2,700 meters)
Approximate time: About one hour of hiking
Gradient: Moderate
