The first day's hike is easy. In Miskay, we'll have lunch on a small riverbank and learn about the Llactapata archaeological complex. After that, we'll continue our trek to Wayllabamba (3100m); we'll then ascend to Yuncachimpa, the campsite where we'll spend the night.

After a short break at the summit, we'll continue the trek with a long, steep ascent to the Pacaymayu River towards Runkurakay Pass (3050m), until we reach our campsite, Chaquicocha (3650m).

DAY 03: CHAQUICOCHA - PHUYUPATAMARCA - WIÑAYHUAYNA

Early in the morning, we'll pass two small lakes at the top of the second pass (3950 m); the ascent is gentle, passing through a small Inca tunnel, which offers a magnificent view over the Urubamba River and the Sacred Valley.
The nearest settlement is “Phuyupatamarca” (City Above the Clouds) at 3600m, a well-preserved site with long Inca baths where one can appreciate the impressive ancient engineering. We will pass through another Inca tunnel before visiting the Wiñayhuayna complex (Forever Young) at 2650m and climb the zigzag Inca staircase to reach the red-roofed, white-roofed building, where our final campsite will be located, including a hot water position (S5) and bottled drinks.

We will begin our tour at the upper level, known as the Guardhouse, and visit the top of Circuit 1, a popular spot for taking the best photos of the citadel. Before descending, we will take the opportunity to leave any excess weight and get comfortable.
