Groups of 10 and free cancellation up to 24 h. Machu Picchu is a photo stop only, and a solo traveler pays almost double at checkout.
Checked for one adult on the nearest date. Two travelers booking together should see the advertised price; confirm in the calendar before you pay.
Pink dots are where this trek camps; other operators use different sites on the same trail.
Groups of up to ten and free cancellation up to 24 hours before make this listing different from most on the trail. Two things matter before you book: the advertised $823 per person is a shared-booking price — a single adult pays $1,605 at checkout — and inside Machu Picchu the ticket covers Circuit 1, the panoramic viewpoint, not a guided walk through the citadel.
Day one. Pickup at 4:00–5:00 AM, the drive to Km 82 (2,720 m), past Llactapata to the camp at Wayllabamba, 3,000 m.
Day two. Up to Dead Woman's Pass at 4,215 m and down to Pacaymayo at 3,600 m.
Day three. Runkurakay at 3,850 m, the second pass at 4,000 m, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca and down to Wiñay Wayna at 2,650 m.
Day four. The Sun Gate at 2,720 m and Machu Picchu at 2,430 m. The guided tour of the citadel needs an extra re-entry ticket, and Huayna Picchu has to be booked three to six months ahead.
What the price includes. Inca Trail and Machu Picchu entry for Circuit 1, an English-speaking guide, a cook, porters for the equipment and a 5 kg allowance for your own gear, an inflatable mattress, pillow and duffel bag, hotel pickup and drop-off in Cusco, the train and bus back, three nights camping and three of each meal. Check dates for this trek.
What it leaves out. The sleeping bag and trekking poles, breakfast on day one and lunch and dinner on day four, the Huayna Picchu ticket, tips and travel insurance. One reviewer found the tent and sleeping bag not warm enough for the temperatures on the trail — bring or rent a bag rated for cold nights.
One option. A single adult pays $1,605; the advertised price assumes a shared booking.
Bars and squares show size; green marks the best value in each row; dashed means the operator doesn't say.
“Everything was perfect except for the quality of the equipment; the tent and sleeping bag were not suitable for the temperatures we encountered.”
Yes, but a single adult pays $1,605 at checkout, against the advertised $823 per person, which assumes two or more booking together.
Circuit 1, panorama only is what this trek's Machu Picchu ticket covers.
You return on the return train to Ollantaytambo (class not stated).
The porter carries 5, 6 or 7 kg of your own gear on the treks that state an allowance, on top of the group's tents, food and kitchen.
No — the sleeping bag is a rental on this trek, as on most of the sixteen.
Hotel pickup in Cusco is at 5:00 AM on day one, so plan an early night before the trek.
The listing's cancellation terms are: free cancellation up to 24 h.
Groups on this trek are up to 10 trekkers, plus the guide, cooks and porters who walk with you.
