Classic Inca Trail 4 days to Machu Picchu

11.Classic Inca Trail 4 days to Machu Picchu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 65 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,050

Hike the four-day Classic Inca Trail from Cusco’s km 82 trailhead to Machu Picchu, with a guide, porters, camping gear, most meals, permits and return transport included. You camp along the route and arrive at the citadel by the Sun Gate. The group is capped at 16, and the strenuous trek calls for strong fitness.

“Our guide, Freddy, was excellent and had great knowledge of Quechuan history and culture. The cook, Armando, was also excellent and prepared meals, worthy of a fine restaurant using camp cooking equipment. Finally, our porters were extremely capable, helpful, and kind. On the other hand, the company, Quechuas Expeditions, was disorganized and did not seem very interested in our trip. For example, unlike other companies, whose clients were hiking around us, they did not provide a clean portable toilet, but instead left us to use the atrocious bathroom facilities along the Inca Trail. Also, the guide was not scheduled to accompany us all the way from Machu Picchu to our…”

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”

Somehow he had an answer to every question I asked, no matter how random. He was so well organized and handled the many logistics of our trip so well - we never had to worry. We hiked Lake Humantay with Jacob, who was incredibly…”
