MACHU PICCHU PILGRIMAGE
HIKE IN THE INCA TRAIL
-----------------------------------------------
Price per person
in USD1450.00
Number of days: 10 days. Hike The Inca Trails
Description:
Walk
in the footsteps of the Inca on one of the world's oldest pilgrimages,
the Inca Trail. The 4-day Inca Trail trek is an exciting high mountain
experience where we climb up to 4200 meters, passing glacier covered
peaks and descending into lush green cloudforest. To acclimatize
for our trek, we spend a few days in Cusco and the Sacred Valley,
exploring ruins and bargaining at busy Andean markets. Combine this
journey with the Amazon Extension to create the perfect two-week
adventure trip, giving you memories of a life time!
Itinerary:
Day 1 Arrive Lima
Overnight.
Day
2 Fly to Cusco
An early morning flight brings you to the Inca capital of Cusco
where Quechua speaking descendents of the Incas move back and forth
in the busy plazas and markets. Colonial churches sit atop bases
of smooth stonework laid centuries before the arrival of the Conquistadors.
The church walls have fallen many times throughout the years, but
the Inca walls remain. The morning is yours to explore Cusco's narrow
streets and bustling markets. In the afternoon, we tour Cusco's
traditional markets talking to the women selling natural medicines
and charms for curing heartache and other afflictions. Afterwards,
we head off to the old neighborhood of San Blas and a possible visit
to a local artisan's workshop.
Day
3 Cusco Free Day
Today is free to relax and explore on your own. Travelers can go
on a city tour of the churches and surrounding ruins, wander through
Cusco's busy center, shop in local markets and just people watch
in the Plaza de Armas. For those bursting with energy, horseback
riding, mountain biking, or even whitewater rafting (Class III-IV)
can be arranged. The night is yours to take in some of Cusco's varied
and exciting nightlife.
Day
4 Sacred Valley of the Incas
The Sacred Valley is an area full of major Inca ruins and ancient
villages. We visit the Pisac market for local tapestries, explore
the Pisac ruins, and take a two-hour walk through the countryside
near the village of Moray. Tonight, relax and sip wine in front
of a fire beneath the ruins of Ollantaytambo as you prepare for
your trek on the Inca Trail.
Day
5-8 Pilgrimage on the Inca Trail (3B,3L,3D)
Walk in the footsteps of the great Inca civilization as we journey
along their ancient trail to the sacred city of Machu Picchu. Andean
history comes to life along this ancient route as each day you pass
ever larger ruins. Scenery changes from snowcapped mountains to
lush green cloudforest. The trek is made with pilgrims from all
over the world, and our friendly crew of guides and porters take
great care of us along the way. On Day 8, the group wakes early
for a short walk to the Sun Gate to watch the sunrise over Machu
Picchu.
Tonight relax in the village of Aguas Calientes below the ruins.
Day
9 Machu Picchu / Cusco
Explore the ruins today at leisure and enjoy the ancient city in
the tranquil morning hours. Later head off through thick cloudforest
to the seldom visited Temple of the Moon or climb Huayna Picchu
overlooking the ruins. Return by train to Cusco in the afternoon
Day
10 Fly to Lima and Return Home
Extend your trip for a few more days!
