SummitClimb Peru Add-On (extra 5 days)
Day 1: Flight from Lima to Cusco (or arrival until 8:00 pm by other means of transport), transfer to hotel (check-in from 1:00 pm).
Day 2: Pick-up in the morning from your hotel in Cusco and start of our adventure in the north of the region. Chinchero is our first place to visit where we meet the local community and visit the Center for Traditional Textiles. We continue with the Archaeological Site of Moray considered an agricultural laboratory of the Incas. We go to the town of Maras to visit the Salt Mines. At Urubamba Town we will have a buffet lunch - Peruvian cuisine. Continuing with our tour we visit the Archaeological Site of Ollantaytambo, which in the time of the Incas was a tambo, meaning a place to rest. After the tour we go to the hotel in Ollantaytambo to spend the night.
Day 3: Very early in the morning we pick you up from the hotel and take you to kilometer 82, where we the Trail begins. The first kilometers are easy to walk. We can enjoy the beautiful view of La Veronica and we walk close to the Vilcanota River until we reach the archaeological complex of Llactapata for lunch. After the meal we continue to our first camp in Wayllabamba where we spend the night after a refreshing dinner.
Day 4: After a comforting breakfast, we start our second day of trekking, perhaps the most difficult because we have to climb up to the Warmihuañusca pass, at 4,200 meters above sea level. This is the highest point of the Inka Trail, where we will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the snowy mountains that surround the pass. After lunch begins the descent to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we make our second camp.
Day 5: In the early morning after energetic breakfast, we start the trek. After half an hour we reach the archaeological group of Runqurakay. From this point, the path is paved and in certain places, it reaches up to 2 meters. You can witness the quality of Inca engineering. We visit Sayacmarca, a beautiful architectural complex. We pass through a tunnel to reach the archaeological group of Phuyupatamarka. There the descent begins, along a highly attractive path, with dense vegetation, extremely rich fauna, and flora. We then arrive at Wiñayhuayna to set up our third and last camp.
Day 6: The big day has arrived !!! After breakfast, we continue the walk to reach Intipunku (Sun Gate) and admire the spectacular sunrise in the lost city of Incas «Machu Picchu». We descend for 1 hour, we enjoy a guided tour of the most important remains (2 hours), then you can explore the mysterious city at your own pace or hike to the Huayna Picchu Mountain (optional and extra cost). We take the bus to the town of Aguas Calientes and return to the city of Cusco.
Day 7: Flight from Cusco to Lima, from where you continue with the Alpamayo & Huascaran expedition group to Huaraz.
