The local people remain dedicated to ancient customs and continue to dress in their traditional, distinctive attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vibrant colors of the region, combined with a diverse array of wildlife and plants, create a journey that feels like stepping back in time. This trek through magical and captivating landscapes offers an unforgettable cultural experience that leads you directly to Machu Picchu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machu Picchu itself seems to hold ancient wisdom and hidden mysteries for those who visit, appearing almost as if the lost Incan city is floating, tucked away between the high peaks and the mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-itinerary\">ITINERARY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-day-1-cusco-cuncani-huaca-wasi\">Day 1: Cusco \u2013 Cuncani \u2013 Huaca Wasi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our journey begins with an early departure from Cusco. As we travel by bus, we will encounter various archaeological ruins and traditional artisan markets throughout the Sacred Valley of the Incas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This region is recognized as one of South America&#8217;s most productive agricultural areas, specifically famous for its corn, which serves as a sacred Inca symbol in Andean spirituality. We will arrive in the province of Calca (historically known as the Granary) at an altitude of 2,940m (9,646ft), where we veer off the main road to climb toward the Huaca Wasi pass at 4,400m (14,436ft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the ascent, we will head down to the village of Lares at 3,250m (10,663ft) and continue to Cuncani. This is the starting point of our hike toward the &#8220;Black Lake&#8221; and Paccha Pata, where we will stop for lunch before trekking onward to the community of Huaca Wasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our campsite for the night will be in Huaca Wasi at an elevation of 3,600m (11,811ft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Climate:<\/strong> Cold<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bus Travel Duration:<\/strong> 4 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trekking Duration:<\/strong> 5 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-day-2-nbsp-huaca-wasi-ipsay-pass-patacancha\">Day 2:&nbsp;Huaca Wasi \u2013 Ipsay pass \u2013 Patacancha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This second day represents the most challenging segment of the trek due to the significant ecological changes we will experience, particularly as we ascend to the Ipsay Pass at 4,400m (14,436ft), a climb lasting approximately 4 hours. Along the route, we will travel through local communities, providing opportunities to see Andean farmers working their land and living in traditional rustic dwellings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These inhabitants possess extensive expertise in organic farming and ancient weaving techniques, creating vibrant textiles adorned with spiritual symbols and Andean deities. Once we clear the pass, we will descend to the settlement of Patacancha at 3,650m (11,975ft), where we will spend the night at our campsite or in a local homestay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weather:<\/strong> Cold climate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hiking time:<\/strong> 6 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-day-3-patacancha-willoc-pumamarca-ollanta-machupiccchu\">Day 3: Patacancha \u2013 Willoc -Pumamarca &#8211; Ollanta &#8211; Machupiccchu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be a scenic day spent visiting two highly traditional communities, Patacancha and Willoq. From there, we proceed toward Puma Marca and make our descent through ancient Andean terraces that remain in use today, offering a panoramic view of the Willoq Valley. We will eventually arrive in Ollantaytambo, where we can relax before catching our train to Machu Picchu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The train journey takes place in the afternoon, bringing us to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town). There, we will enjoy dinner and rest in preparation for our visit to the Machu Picchu citadel the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weather:<\/strong> Cold climate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hiking time:<\/strong> 6 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-day-4-aguas-calientes-machu-picchu-cusco\">Day 4: Aguas Calientes \u2013 Machu Picchu \u2013 Cusco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is highly recommended to visit the lost city of the Incas in the early morning hours. We will travel by bus to Machu Picchu (2,400m \/ 7,874ft), where a professional guide will provide insights into the political structures and ancestral techniques in agriculture, astronomy, and religion left behind by our ancestors within this magnificent Incan city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the guided tour, participants will have ample time to explore Machu Picchu on their own before heading back down to the town of Aguas Calientes to catch the return train to Cusco. The environment at Machu Picchu is generally warm and inhabited by mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weather:<\/strong> Warm with mosquitoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hiking time:<\/strong> 3 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-included\">INCLUDED<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An initial briefing at 7:00 PM in our office, scheduled 1 or 2 days prior to your departure (timing to be finalized during the booking process).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private transportation from your hotel to the Lares Valley.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tourist class train service from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bus transport from Aguas Calientes up to the Machu Picchu citadel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tourist train from Aguas Calientes back to Ollantaytambo, followed by shared tourist transport from the station to central Cusco (Plaza Regocijo, near Plaza de Armas or the Marriott Hotel\/Calle Ruinas at the entrance of San Blas).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission fees for the Lares Valley hot springs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entrance tickets for the Machu Picchu sanctuary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hostel accommodation in Aguas Calientes featuring private rooms, bathrooms, and included breakfast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A professional guide fluent in both Spanish and English.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium camping gear (professional Doite Himalaya 4 or Eureka two-person tents, sleeping mats, a dining tent with tables and chairs, and a portable toilet tent).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All meals provided during the trek (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, with vegetarian options available).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional chef and all necessary kitchen equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mules and wranglers to transport camping gear and personal belongings (up to 4 kg per person).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An emergency horse available for the segment between Huacahuasi and Pucara.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A comprehensive first-aid kit and supplemental oxygen bottle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-included\">NOT INCLUDED:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Breakfast on the initial day of the trip and the final lunch in the town of Aguas Calientes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A sleeping bag (for those who do not possess their own, rental options are available).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The return bus ride from Machu Picchu down to Aguas Calientes, which costs 12 U.S. dollars; alternatively, you may choose to walk down, which takes approximately 1 hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-recommend-to-bring\">What we recommend to bring:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A backpack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A sleeping bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attire suitable for both hot and cold conditions, such as a waterproof jacket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A sweater<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiking boots and trekking pants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polo shirts or t-shirts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rain poncho<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A hat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bug spray, along with rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A water bottle and purification tablets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A camera (protected in a plastic bag)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A flashlight with spare batteries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Various snacks, including chocolate and dried fruit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your original passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A student ID card (if applicable) and additional cash in local currency (Soles)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-notes\">NOTES:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting from the Lares hot springs on the first day, all baggage is transported to the Huacahuasi community via vehicle.
