We will camp at Cruzpata dinner and overnight

Day 2. Cruzpata - Soraypampa

After the Andean breakfast in our tents, We will depart at around 8:00 am in the direction of Soraypampa along a rural trail with many level variations and along which we will see little groups of houses, flora, small wild birds and spectacular views of the Humantay snow peak (5902 masl). After approximately six hours of walking, we will arrive at our campsite in Soraypampa (3900 masl). From here we can view the majestic Apu Salkantay (6271 masl). We will camp and dine at this place.

Day 3. Soraypampa - Pampacahuana
----------------------------------------------------
As usual after the breakfast in the camp site, We will leave the campsite at around 7:00 am to start the four hour steep climb towards the Incachiriasca pass (4850 masl), the highest of the entire trail, and from which we will have impressive views of the Salkantay snow peak. We will immediately descend towards our lunch spot, observing Salkantay´s neighboring valleys (it is possible that you will see condors in this area). After lunch we will descend towards the Pampacahuana community, next to which exists an original Inca canal. Here we have dinner and set up camp.

Day 4. Pampacahuana - Wayllabamba
---------------------------------------------------------
We will leave camp at around 8:00 am to start a downhill walk along the shores of the Pampacahuana river following its course towards the Wayllabamba community (3000 masl). On the way down we will visit the Incaracay archaeological complex (Paucarcancha) which is made up of rectangular constructions, plazas, retaining walls and terraces. After approximately four hours, we will arrive in Wayllabamba, where we will camp for the night.

Day 5. Wayllabamba – Pacaymayo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the breakfast we will start Climbing up from Wayllabamba for about 3 hours through steep woods and increasingly spectacular terrain brings you to the tree line and a meadow known as Llulluchapampa (3,680m). It is another 1½ hours climb to the first and highest pass of the trail (Abra de Huarmihuañusca or 'Dead Woman's Pass) at 4,200m. During this part of the trail hikers are exposed to the Andean elements: first scorching sun and then, closer to the pass, freezing winds. Once at the top hikers can celebrate having completed the most difficult section of the trail The decent from the pass is steep although not difficult, following the trail on the left side of the valley to the valley floor and to the next night's campsite at Pacamayo (3,600m). There are toilet facilities here, where we will camp after approximately 6h of hiking.

Day 6. Pacaymayo – Wiñaywayna
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This day is the longest but also the most impressive and the most interesting, due the number of archaeological sites that we will visit and learn about from our guide. From Pacaymayo we will climb to the second pass, the Abra de Runkurakay (3970 masl). Half way up, we will visit the archaeological complex with the same name. This site, located at 3800 masl, consists of a small oval structure that is believed to have served the purpose of a watchtower. After going over the pass, we will descend towards Yanacocha (Black Lagoon) and enter the cloud-forest to finally arrive at Sayamarca (3624 masl). This is a beautiful complex made up of a semicircular construction, enclosures at different levels, narrow streets, fountains, patios and irrigation canals. Continuing up an easy climb, we will arrive at the third pass, the Abra de Phuyupatamarca (3700 masl). Along this climb we can appreciate the magnitude of the Incas´ ancient craft, by walking along paths semi-detached from the mountain, and seeing rocks that fill up ravines in perfect order, saving the trail from the multileveled Andean geography.

We go through an Inca tunnel to later arrive at the aforementioned pass and down to the complex of the same name. This is one of the most complete and best preserved archaeological complexes along the Inca Trail to Machupicchu, and is located on the highest point of a mountain. Curiously, Phyupatamarca means ¨town over the clouds¨. From above, one can observe a sophisticated sacred complex made up of water fountains with solid foundations, and also impressive views of the Urubamba River valley and the long descending stone steps along which we will continue on to Wiñaywayna (2700 masl). At this campsite we will find a lodge with a restaurant, bar and bathrooms with hot showers. The campsite has the same name as the complex located only five minutes away from the lodge. Wiñaywayna is an impressive complex made up of an agricultural centre with numerous terraces, a religious sector and an urban sector.


Day 7. Wiñaywayna – Machupicchu – Aguas Calientes – Cusco
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trail from Wiñayhuayna to Machu Picchu is clearly marked and takes about 1½ hours. Most people attempt to wake up at 4.30am so that they can leave Wiñay Wayna by 5.30am to get to Machu Picchu before sunrise. The sky starts getting light by 6am and the first rays of the sun reach Machu Picchu at about 7am. The trail contours a mountainside and drops into cloudforest before coming to an almost vertical flight of 50 steps leading up to the final pass at Intipunku (Sun Gate). From Intipunku we will descend into Machupicchu, and 40 minutes later we will enter the citadel from the highest point through the ¨House of the Guardians¨. We will then descend to the control point where we will register ourselves and leave our backpacks. We will immediately begin a complete guided tour of the Inca citadel that will take approximately two hours. You will then have free time to walk around, climb the Huaynapicchu mountain, where one can experience spectacular views of all of Machupicchu, the valleys and mountains that surround it, or you can visit the Temple of the Moon and the fabulous Inca bridge. In the afternoon, we will meet in the town of Aguas Calientes where, if you like, you can visit and relax in the thermal baths. From here we will take the train to the city of Cusco, where we will arrive after nightfall around 7pm .
