Overview

Embark on an adventurous 4-day trek along Peru's classic Inca Trail, from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Set out from the Pisacucho trail head, hiking along river-fed valley surrounded by magnificent mountain peaks and scampering through cloud forests. Engage with local villagers, tour ancient archaeological sites and camp beside Inca ruins along the way. After three days of moderate to challenging trekking you'll arrive at the UNESCO-listed citadel in the early morning. Watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu and enjoy a guided tour before returning to Cusco via train.

The Gold Llama

Mark_F, Nov 2022

What a great experience!! Julio is a passionate Incan guide who taught me so much of his culture and the special plants with their medicinal qualities. The quality of food on the trek was top restaurant quality. The last night we had an iced cake as part of the usual four course meal. I didn’t expect to put weight on during the Inca trail. A high quality trekking company and a unique guide who was always there to help and make us laugh. Maybe that lost solid gold Llama is still to be discovered but I found solid gold with this guide and trekking company.

Francheska_R, Sep 2016

This was a great tip. It was a very challenging and physically demanding trip, but it was sooo worth it. We had a great guide Auriol that was very patient and informative. As people who have lived all our lives at sea level this trip was very hard and our guide never rushed us and always took the time explain everything. We are very grateful for his understanding and all the knowledge he imparted on us. Our porters and cook were wonderful. They carried all our equipment, from tents, small air mattress, chairs, sleeping bags, food, cooing tent and everything that we needed to survive and enjoy the trip. Our cook Agapito was very good and was able to create great meals in the middle of nowhere with limited resources. Tierras Vivas provided everything that was advertised and went beyond all our expectations of the trip. The trip is very hard and physicaly demanding but our staff made the trip one will never forget. This is a must do on your bucket list and Tierras Vivas is a great company to do so.
