While away from Cusco, the bulk of your luggage will be stored at your hotel. If you\u2019re hiking the Inca Trail or the Quarry Trail, the evening before you leave Cusco you'll receive a small duffle bag to carry your clothes in for the next four days (5 kg maximum). Your team of porters will carry these bags for you, together with the food and equipment for the trail. Please note that you won't have access to these items until the end of each day, as the porters will always be ahead of the group. If you\u2019re travelling to Aguas Calientes by train, you'll be able to leave most of your luggage at the hotel in Cusco and only travel with the necessary items during the excursion by train. Route 1: Inca Trail Today travel by minivan to the 82-kilometre marker and meet your crew of local porters, cook and guide. The first day includes uphill trekking to the campsite, which is at 3100 metres above sea level. On the way you\u2019ll see the Inca sites of Ollantaytambo, Huillca Raccay and Llactapata, as well as incredible views of snow-capped Veronica Peak. In the evening, unwind at the campsite with a nourishing meal. Notes: The Inca Trail is within the abilities of most reasonably fit people, but please come prepared, as the trail is 45 kilometres long and often steep. Each day's journey generally consists of seven hours of walking (uphill and downhill), with stops for snacks and lunch. Trekking usually begins at 7 am (except on the fourth morning) and you reach the campsite around 5 pm. Accommodation on the trek is camping (three nights). Double tents (twin-share) and inflatable camping mats will be provided. The porters will set up the tents while the cook prepares meals. Route 2: The Quarry Trail Make an early start today and drive to Choquequilla, a small ceremonial place where the Inca worshipped the moon. Drive to the starting point of the trek, Rafq'a, and meet the horsemen who join us on the hike. After a 1-hour walk, reach the small community of Socma. Carry on to the Perolniyoc cascade lookout, where there\u2019ll be an opportunity to stop for photos and a food break. Continue to the campsite, which is 3700 metres above sea level, and arrive around lunchtime. After lunch, set off to explore the Q'orimarca archaeological site, which once served as a checkpoint to the Inca. Notes: The Quarry Trail is within the abilities of most reasonably fit people. The hike is 26 kilometres long in total and its highest pass is at 4450 metres above sea level. Throughout the trek, horses will carry your gear and camping equipment. The first two nights are spent camping and the third night you will stay at a simple hotel. Double tents (twin-share) and inflatable camping mats will be provided. The porters will set up the tents while the cook prepares meals. Route 3: Train For those travellers who would prefer not to hike, or who are unable to, will spend an extra day in Cusco. With no planned activities for this day, perhaps ask your leader for suggestions on how to make the most of your time in this beautiful city.","sort":11,"tour_id":100,"ref_parts_id":"12","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":"1","lunchesIncluded":"1","breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Camping with basic facilities on trek or hotel in Cusco","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[],"optionalActivityList":[{"price":{"#text":"135","@currency":"PEN"},"description":"Cusco - Full Boleto Turistico Pass (access to 16 archaeological sites, transport & guides not included)"},{"price":{"#text":"75","@currency":"PEN"},"description":"Cusco - Half Boleto Turistico Pass (access to selected archaeological sites, transport & guides not included)"}]}},{"id":1050,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:29:09.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-05-27T20:02:08.000000Z","title":"Day 13: Inca Trail, Inca Quarry trail or Train option","image_url":null,"description":"Route 1: Inca Trail This is the most challenging day of the trek as you ascend a long steep path (approximately 5 hours) to reach the highest point of the trail.

The group will then descend to the campsite in the Pacaymayo Valley at 3650 metres. Route 2: The Quarry Trail This is the most challenging yet rewarding day of the hike. A 3-hour walk takes you to the top of the first pass of Puccaqasa (approximately 4370 metres high). After enjoying picturesque views of the valley, it\u2019s a short walk before stopping for lunch.
