Reviews for Sacred Valley & short inca trail 3 days tour
I did the 2-day Machu Picchu hike in January 2026, and despite it being the rainy season, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. A huge part of that was my guide, Elvis. Even with the challenging weather, he made sure I still saw all the key highlights and adjusted the pace and plan…

We were very worried that our tour would be canceled, but Elvis asked to meet us at our hostel the night before to discuss the situation. I was very impressed with his professionalism. Elvis came with a comprehensive plan of what we could do to address the weather…

Reviews for 2 day Inca Trail with Camping with panoramic train
Great adventure! Team was prepared and professional! Guide was extremely knowledgeable and made you feel like you knew the history of the trail. Team worked hard to prepare you for each day. Meals were excellent and felt like they came from the heart, so good!
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team went above and beyond to secure us two Machu Picchu tours, ensuring we had the best possible experience during our 2-day, 1-night tour of the Secret Valley and Machu Picchu. Everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn't find a single fault. I highly recommend this agency to anyone visiting Peru!
We had an amazing experience hiking the 2-day Inca Trail with camping. The trek was challenging but totally worth it, with beautiful scenery and incredible views along the way. Camping in the mountains made the experience even more memorable, and our guides were very helpful and friendly throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and we really enjoyed learning about Inca history and visiting the archaeological sites. It was a great…

Reviews for Classic Inca Trail Peru 4 Days
My wife and I had an amazing time hiking the Inca Trail with our incredible guide Carlos, Chef Carmello, and porters.
He provided guidance on preparing for the trip. We rented sleeping bags and trekking poles so we didn't have to carry them around, and overall, it just made for a fantastic experience.
The food was an excellent showcase of Peruvian cuisine, and they were very accommodating to our dietary needs.
Carlos was an…

Frequently Asked Questions
The Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days combines several days of trekking through historic Inca pathways, mountain landscapes, and archaeological sites before arriving at Machu Picchu. These questions address practical aspects of the route, camping experience, difficulty, and what travelers can expect along the way.
How many hours do you hike each day on the 4 day Inca Trail?
The walking time varies depending on the day's route, elevation changes, and scheduled stops. Some days involve longer hiking sections, while others allow more time to explore archaeological sites and enjoy the surrounding landscapes.
What is the most challenging day of the Classic Inca Trail?
The second day is generally considered one of the most demanding because it includes the ascent to Dead Woman's Pass, the highest point of the classic route. The combination of steep sections, elevation, and accumulated hiking makes this part particularly challenging.
Where do you camp during the 4 day Inca Trail?
Camping takes place at designated campsites along the Inca Trail. The exact campsites can vary according to the route and regulations in place for the trekking season, but each night is spent along the trail rather than returning to Cusco.
Can I see sunrise on Machu Picchu during the 4 day Inca Trail?
The itinerary reaches Machu Picchu on the final day, allowing travelers to enter the archaeological site as part of the scheduled visit. The exact arrival time depends on the itinerary, entrance regulations, and the logistics of reaching the site from the final section of the trail.
What should I pack for the Classic Inca Trail 4 Days?
Essential items include comfortable hiking shoes, lightweight layers, waterproof clothing, a warm layer for cold nights, sun protection, a reusable water bottle, personal toiletries, and a small daypack. Packing light is especially useful because you will be hiking for several consecutive days.

Reviews for 5-Days Inca Trail to Machu Picchu / all inclisive tour
My husband, son, daughter, and son-in-law booked our tour with Kenko Adventures, and they exceeded all our expectations. From the detailed briefing they gave us in Cusco to the last day hiking at Machu Picchu, everything was organized and seamless. If we had any issues before leaving the United States or any problems with the scheduling here in Peru, they responded immediately. Our guide, Henry, was exceptional. He not only knew the history…
Had a great time exploring Machu Picchu and the sacred valley with Elvis from Kenko Adventures. We also did the short Inca hike and Huayna Picchu hike. My boys and I loved the hikes. July is a great time to go with good weather. Elvis was very knowledgeable, reliable, with very good English and accommodating to our needs with suggestions. All ride connections and transfer of bags was smooth. No problems. I would highly recommend Elvis and…

Frequently Asked Questions
The 5 Days Inca Trail to Machu Picchu offers more time to experience the trail at a comfortable pace, with several days to explore the Andean landscapes, archaeological sites, and different sections of the historic route. These questions cover aspects of the experience that travelers may want to consider before choosing a longer Inca Trail itinerary.
What makes the 5 Days Inca Trail different from shorter Inca Trail routes?
The 5 day itinerary allows travelers to experience the Inca Trail over a longer period, giving more time to appreciate the landscapes, archaeological sites, and different sections of the route. The additional days also create a more gradual trekking experience compared with shorter itineraries.
What archaeological sites can I see along the 5 day Inca Trail?
The route passes through several archaeological sites along the historic Inca Trail. Depending on the itinerary, travelers can encounter places such as Patallacta, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca, and Wiñay Wayna before reaching Machu Picchu.
What is the highest point reached during the 5 day Inca Trail?
One of the highest points of the classic Inca Trail is Dead Woman's Pass, also known as Warmiwañusca, at approximately 4,215 meters (13,828 feet) above sea level. This section is one of the most demanding parts of the trek because of its altitude and steep ascent.
How does the altitude affect the 5 day Inca Trail?
Altitude can make the trek more physically demanding, particularly during the higher sections of the route. Travelers may experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Spending time in Cusco or another high altitude destination before the trek can help the body adjust to the elevation.
What type of accommodation is included during the trek?
The 5 day Inca Trail is a camping trek, with overnight stays at designated campsites along the route. Camping allows travelers to remain close to the trail and experience the changing landscapes throughout the journey.
