2. This trip includes one visit to Machu Picchu. According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations, all visitors must follow a pre-determined route within the site. This route must be followed in one direction only, and once the guided visit commences exiting and re-entering the site is not permitted. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted. Please refer to the itinerary for details. 3. Inca Trail* permits are sold on request basis only. Once deposit is paid and passport details provided, Intrepid will endeavour to secure a permit for you. If Inca Trail* permits are unavailable by the time you book, you can opt to hike the Quarry Trail instead https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/machu-picchu-peru\/quarry-trail or travel to Machu Picchu by train. 4. The Inca Trail* closes in February to allow cleaning and restoration works. If the trek portion of your trip starts in February you will be automatically booked to hike the Quarry Trail. 5. Should you choose not to hike at all, please let us know at time of booking so alternative arrangements can be made to travel to Machu Picchu by train. Without this prior warning, cancellation fees for the trekking permits may apply. 6. Full passport details are required at the time of booking in order to purchase entrance fees to certain sites. Additionally on certain trips it's needed to book bus, train or flight tickets. Delays to provide this information may result in booking fees or changes to your itinerary. 7. While hiking the Inca Trail* or Quarry Trail you may be joined by other Intrepid and\/or non-Intrepid travellers, some who may be over 29 years old. 8. Please note this trip starts at 2pm on Day 1. 9.

While away from Cusco, the bulk of your luggage will be stored at your hotel. If you\u2019re hiking the Inca Trail* or the Inca 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 for the next few days. Route 1 Inca Trail*: Today travel by minivan to the 82 km marker and meet your crew of local porters, cook and guide. The first day includes uphill trekking to the campsite, which is at 3,100 metres above sea level. On the way you\u2019ll see the ruins of Llactapata, which was burnt to the ground by the last Inca emperor to discourage Spanish pursuit down the trail. In the evening, set up camp while the cook makes dinner. Notes: The Inca Trail is within the abilities of most reasonably fit people, but please come prepared, as the trail is 45 km 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 foam camping mats will be provided. The porters will set up the tents while the cook prepares meals. Route 2 Quarry Trail: Make an early start today and drive to Choquequilla, a small ceremonial place where Incas worshipped the moon. Drive to the starting point of the trek, Rafq'a, and meet the horsemen who join us on the hike. After an hour\u2019s walk, reach the small community of Socma. Carry on to the Perolniyoc cascade lookout, an opportunity to stop for photos and a food break. Continue to the campsite, which is 3,700 meters above sea level. You should reach the campsite around lunchtime. After lunch, set off to explore the Q'orimarca archaeological site, which once served as a checkpoint to the Incas. Notes: The Quarry Trail is within the abilities of most reasonably fit people. The hike is 26 km long in total and its highest pass is at 4,450 meters 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 foam camping mats will be provided. The porters will set up the tents while the cook prepares meals. Route 3 Cusco: For those travellers disinterested in hiking the trail or who are unable to, spend two extra nights in Cusco before travelling by bus to Ollantaytambo. From here take a train through the winding Urubamba Valley to the town of Aguas Calientes where you\u2019ll spend a third night.","sort":1,"tour_id":775,"ref_parts_id":"2","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":"1","lunchesIncluded":"1","breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Route 1 & 2: Camping (with basic facilities)\/Route 3: Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":{"description":"3 Night \/ 4 Day Inca Trail (or 2 Night \/ 3 Day Quarry Trail)"},"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":9598,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:34:30.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-26T20:16:28.000000Z","title":"Day 3: Inca Trail (3650m)* or Quarry Trail (3600m) or Cusco","image_url":null,"description":"Route 1 Inca Trail*: This is the most challenging day of the trek, as we ascend a long steep path (approximately five hours) to reach the highest point of the trail. Colloquially known as 'Dead Woman's Pass', Warmiwanusca sits at a height of 4,200 meters above sea level, providing amazing views of the valley below. The group will then descend to the campsite in the Pacaymayo Valley at 3,650 metres. Route 2 Quarry Trail: This is the most challenging and rewarding day of the hike. A three-hour walk takes us to the top of the first pass of Puccaqasa (approximately 4,370 meters high). After enjoying picturesque views of the valley, it\u2019s a short walk before stopping for lunch. Afterwards, make the two-hour hike to Kuychicassa, the highest pass of the trek at 4,450 meters. From here, descend to the sacred site the Incas called Intipunku (Sun Gate), with views of the Nevado Veronica mountain. Head to the campsite, only a stone\u2019s throw away at Choquetacarpo. Route 3 Cusco: Today, perhaps your free day indulging your inner foodie in the eateries of Cusco. Head to lunch at the arty Fallen Angel restaurant, and if you still have room for dessert, the ChocoMuseo offers tastings and chocolate-marking workshops. All optional activities are at your own cost.","sort":2,"tour_id":775,"ref_parts_id":"3","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":"1","lunchesIncluded":"1","breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Route 1 & 2: Camping (with basic facilities)\/Route 3: Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[],"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":9599,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:34:30.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-26T20:16:28.000000Z","title":"Day 4: Inca Trail (2650m)* or Aguas Calientes (2040m)","image_url":null,"description":"Route 1 Inca Trail*: Start the day with a climb through the Pacaymayo Valley to Runkuracay pass (3,980 metres).

Continue over the trail\u2019s third pass to the ruins of Phuyupatamarca (3,850 metres), also known as 'Town Above the Clouds'. Start the two-hour descent down the Inca steps to the final night's campsite by the Winay Wayna archaeological site. Route 2 Quarry Trail: Today\u2019s hike will all be downhill. The first stop is the incomplete Kachiqata quarry, where the Incas were intercepted by the Spanish. Around midday, come to the end of the trek. Explore the cobbled streets of Ollantaytambo before taking the short train journey to Aguas Calientes. This is where you\u2019ll meet up with the travellers in your group who didn't hike. Visiting the natural hot springs in town is a soothing way to spend the late afternoon. Spend the night in a comfortable hotel before tomorrow\u2019s visit to Machu Picchu. Route 3 Train: In the morning take a bus and train which is nestled in the hills at the foot of Machu Picchu. For those who want to, there\u2019s time to visit Machu Picchu independently before the guided tour the next day. If you\u2019d like to do this, please advise your group leader at the welcome meeting at the beginning of the trip. Otherwise, you might like to while away the afternoon in the natural hot springs of Aguas Calientes.","sort":3,"tour_id":775,"ref_parts_id":"4","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":"1","lunchesIncluded":"1","breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Route 1:Camping (with basic facilities)\/Route 2 & 3: Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[],"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":9600,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:34:30.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-26T20:16:28.000000Z","title":"Day 5: Machu Picchu (2430) - Cusco","image_url":null,"description":"Route 1 Inca Trail*: The day starts before dawn with breakfast at 4.30 am. Say farewell to the porters as they descend to the train station and begin hiking by 5.30 am. The walk to Intipunku (the Sun Gate) takes around two-and-a-half hours. Weather permitting, enjoy unforgettable views over the \u2018Lost City of the Incas\u2019 Route 2 Quarry Trail: Depending on weather conditions, take a bus at 5:30 am this morning along the winding road to Machu Picchu. The journey takes around 30 minutes. At Machu Picchu, join up with the travellers in your group who hiked the Classic Inca Trail. If skies are clear, enjoy spectacular views over the ancient city from the Sun Gate, before going on a guided walk around the ruins. Route 3: In the morning at 5.30 am, take a bus up to Machu Picchu. The city was built around 1440 AD as a country retreat for Incan nobility, but there\u2019s evidence that the land had been a sacred Incan site for much longer. Take a guided tour around the ruins of temples, palaces and living quarters, and enjoy free time afterwards to wander around on your own before the group returns to Cusco. Visiting Machu Picchu: According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations, all visitors must follow a pre-determined route within the site. This route must be followed in one direction only and once the guided visit commences exiting and re-entering the site is not permitted. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted. For all trails - after taking advantage of the seemingly endless photo opportunities, it's time to return to Cusco for a well deserved shower and a pisco sour. Your evening is then free for the last night of your adventure.","sort":4,"tour_id":775,"ref_parts_id":"5","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":{"description":"Machu Picchu - Guided tour"},"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":9601,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:34:30.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-26T20:16:28.000000Z","title":"Day 6: Cusco","image_url":null,"description":"Your adventure comes to an end this morning.
