Highlights
- Scenic: The 3-day Inca Trail continues to offer stunning scenery as you trek through the Andes, through dense cloud forests and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
- Inca Ruins: Along the trail you will have the opportunity to explore several Inca archaeological sites such as Wiñay Wayna and Intipata, which give you a glimpse of the ancient Inca civilization. Gate of the Sun: On the morning of the third day, you will arrive at Inti Punku (Gate of the Sun) where you will see Machu Picchu from a distance for the first time. It’s an unforgettable moment when you approach this iconic attraction.
- Machu Picchu: The 3-day trek ends with a visit to the majestic Machu Picchu. You will have plenty of time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including its temples, terraces and stone structures. Less physically demanding: The 3-day version of the trail is generally considered less physically demanding than the classic 4-day trek. This is a great option for anyone who wants to experience the Inca Trail but may not have the time or energy for a longer trip.
- Permits and Regulations: As with the 4-day trek, it is important to obtain the necessary permits for the 3-day Inca Trail trek. Permits are limited and must be arranged in advance. In addition, hikers must have a certified guide.
- Camping and facilities: The 3-day trek includes camping and the tour company provides tents, sleeping bags and meals. Although accommodations may be simpler than in the surrounding towns of Machu Picchu, it offers a unique desert experience.
- Cultural Experience: During the trek, you will have the opportunity to interact with the local Quechua community and learn about their customs and way of life.
- Challenging Terrain: Although less physically demanding than the 4-day trek, the 3-day version still involves high altitude hiking and challenging terrain. Be prepared for steep ups and downs. Great Photography: The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu offer countless photo opportunities. Be sure to bring your camera or smartphone to capture the stunning scenery and historic sites.

So we recommend to book well in advance in order to get Wiñayhuayna campsite.

Cardiovascular exercises, such as running or cycling, and strength training exercises, such as squats and lunges, can help you build endurance and strength.
- Acclimatize: The Inca Trail reaches high altitudes, so it’s crucial to spend some time acclimatizing to the altitude before starting the trek. Spend a few days in Cusco, which is situated at 3,400 meters above sea level, before embarking on the Inca Trail.
- Pack appropriately: Make sure you pack appropriately for the trek. You will need comfortable hiking shoes, lightweight clothing, a waterproof jacket, and warm layers for the cold nights. Don’t forget to bring a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a first aid kit.
- Stay hydrated: It’s essential to stay hydrated while hiking, especially at high altitudes. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it at the water stations along the trail. You can also bring water purification tablets to ensure that the water is safe to drink.
