Day 1: URUBAMBA – KM 82 BY CAR AND KM 88 TO CHAMANA HIKING
Our Luxury Inca Trail tours begin with an early morning departure from Urubamba (between 7:30 am and 8:00 am). A short one-hour bus ride takes us to KM 82 (Piskacucho), the starting point of our extraordinary trek. As we embark on our Luxury Inca Trail adventure, we’re treated to breathtaking views of the Urubamba mountain range and the snow-capped Wakay Willca (Veronica) peak (5860m/1922ft).
The first day’s hike covers 6.8 miles/11 km over 5-6 hours, offering a moderate challenge that helps acclimatize you to the altitude. Our Luxury Inca Trail experience includes a gourmet lunch at Patallaqta, with its stunning Incan ruins as a backdrop. We end the day at our luxurious campsite near Hatun Chaka in the Wayllabamba area.
Day 2: HUAYLLABAMBA – DEAD WOMAN’S PASS – PACAYMAYU ALTO
Our Luxury Inca Trail tours are designed to provide an intimate experience with nature and history. Today, we ascend to the highest point of the trail, the Abra de Huarmihuañusca or ‘Dead Woman’s Pass’ (4200m/13779ft). Our expert guides ensure a comfortable pace, allowing ample time to appreciate the diverse flora and fauna.
Midway, our Luxury Inca Trail journey pauses for a sumptuous lunch at Llulluchapampa, surrounded by grazing llamas and alpacas. After reaching the pass, we descend to our luxury campsite at Pacaymayu (3550m/11646ft), nestled in a beautiful cloud forest.
Day 3: PACAYMAYU ALTO – PHUYUPATAMARKA – WINAYWAYNA
The third day of our Luxury Inca Trail tour is truly spectacular. We cover 6 miles/10km in about 6 hours, visiting several archaeological sites and enjoying panoramic mountain views.

Our Luxury Inca Trail experience continues with a gourmet lunch at the Chaquicoha meadows. We then climb to our campsite at Phuyupatamarca (3680m/12073ft), aptly named the ‘town in the clouds’.

Today, our Luxury Inca Trail tour showcases the crown jewels of Inca architecture. We start with breathtaking views and a visit to Phuyupatamarca, then descend to Intipata and Wiñaywayna, the most beautiful site on the Inca Trail. After lunch, we continue to Intipunku (Sun Gate) for our first awe-inspiring view of Machu Picchu.
As part of our exclusive Luxury Inca Trail tours, we enjoy sunset views of Machu Picchu from a panoramic vantage point. We then descend to Machu Picchu Pueblo for a night of luxury in a 4 or 5-star hotel and a celebratory dinner.
