2 Days Inca Trail with camping

Peru Travel Company will provide you with a duffel bag to pack your belongings that you don’t need during the day, the porters will carry the duffel bag, and please note that it must have a maximum weight of 7 Kg, including your sleeping bag and your air mattress (if you bring or rent one). The duffel bag will be provided to you one day before the trek at your hotels or our office.

• Sleeping bag: if you don’t have one, you can rent it from us; also if you want to buy it it has to have the estimated weight of 2 kilos and remember to pack it in a plastic bag to keep it during the excursion, we recommend a -10°C sleeping bag.
• Rain Gear: The trail can be wet especially in the rainy season. Have quality gear and clothing with materials such as Gore-tex that will keep your skin dry while you perspire during the hike
• Warm jacket: The weather during the excursion fluctuates and can drop sharply during the day and night, so it is essential to bring layers of clothing for the sun and a waterproof outer layer in case of rain or snow
• 2 T-shirts: Absorbent T-shirts that dry quickly are recommended. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon are the best choice, as they will hold sweat and dry quickly, avoid cotton shirts as they retain moisture and cause chafing and are difficult to dry
• 1  trekking pants: there are a variety of types of trekking pants one of them is the cargo pants which have large pockets on the side of the legs and the convertible pants have legs that zipper at the knee, those are ideal especially in hot climates or changing conditions during the trail for women leggings or leggings work perfectly.
• 2 pairs of underwear: wearing a sports bra and compression shorts will be helpful and keep you comfortable to avoid chafing. If you are hiking in cold weather, wear thermal underwear that will keep you warm
• Snacks: bring snacks that are rich in energy and easy to digest. This, because chocolate bars or cookies are not ideal, as they can be heavy for the stomach and leave you with an impression of sluggishness, so we recommend taking granola bars or a mixture of nuts which will give enough energy to perform the walk. 

After a good breakfast, we hike for 1 hour to the Machu Picchu Inca citadel. Upon arrival, we register and then begin the guided tour of Machu Picchu. During the guided tour, our guide will explain the most important sectors of the stone city of Machu Picchu, including agricultural terraces, temples, ceremonial water fountains, plazas, and various types of constructions.

The guided tour takes approximately 2-3 hours. For those adventurers who have pre-booked the Wayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, you will climb at your assigned time (1 hour up and 1 hour down). After enjoying the visit to Machu Picchu, you will return to the town of Aguas Calientes to take the train back to Ollantaytambo and then the bus back to Cusco.
