We will leave Cusco (3350m/10,990 ft) at 530am by a tourist bus heading for the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Before we reach our starting point of the hike, km 82, we will take a short break in Ollantaytambo for having the option to get breakfast. The official beginning of the Inka Trail is called km 82. Here we will meet the rest of the group and take care of the registration facilities. After crossing the Rio Urubamba (2200m), we will start the legendary Inca Trail. The first day the trail is an easy walk and a good warm up for the following days. In Miskay, we’ll have lunch on a small river bank while getting some information about the archeological complex of Llactapata. Afterwards, we will continue our hike to Wayllabamba (3100m/10,170 ft) and ascend to Yuncachimpa (3300m/10,826 ft). We will pitch our camp site for the night here. From the site, we have a great view of the mysterious Nevado de Veronica.
