Itinerary

Day 1: Cusco – Chonta – Pincopata EcoCamp. We will pick you up at your hotel during the morning and will have two options to adapt ourselves to the altitude and the physical needs of the next days. The first option is to see the condors in the Apurímac Canyon, for what we will go towards the north of Cusco City. We will get to Chonta, from where we will make a 1 hour hike to the condors viewpoint. We will see the canyon where the Apurímac River passes and these amazing birds flying that we will be able to photograph and admire in the landscape of the Peruvian Andes. In this place, we will have our box lunch before going back to Chonta, so then we take our transportation to Pincopata EcoCamp.

The second option is the visit to the archaeological sites, for what we are going from Cusco to Mollepata, like the standard Salkantay Trek. Here we will visit the Killarumiyoq, carved stone in which the lunar cycle was schedule. In addition, we will pass by the Marcahuaylla community, from where we will walk to the archeological remains of Choquechurco, little-known site from where it is possible to see the Humantay Mountain. Here we will have our box lunch, so then we can make the descent trek to the Pincopata EcoCamp.

In our first destination of the day, we will be received with a fruits’ juice of the season and we will be installed in our corresponding domes, where we will be able to take a hot shower and rest. On the other hand, it is possible to go over the camp or participate in the available activities like horseback riding and bike tours (not included). At the end of the day, we will have our typical Peruvian dinner.

Day 2: Pincopata EcoCamp – Soray EcoCamp. We will have breakfast early to take our vehicle and go to Marcoccasa, from where we will start an ascent climb. We will continue the walking through an aqueduct with views of the Río Blanco Valley and the Salkantay and Humantay mountains. We will get to the Soray EcoCamp where we will be able to rest and enjoy our lunch. During the afternoon, we can schedule a massage, a horseback riding, or just go enjoying the landscape of where we will be located. Moreover, those who already tested their strength and fast rhythm after the activities of the first day, can make the trek towards the Humantay Lagoon, at 4,200 m a. s. l., and after that go back to the domes for dinner and rest.

Day 3: Soray EcoCamp – Humantay Lagoon (or Abra Salkantay). We will get up very early to have breakfast and begin the trek of the day. We will climb to the Humantay Lagoon, a 2 hours walk to reach the 4,200 m of altitude where is located this lake formed by the glacier of the Humantay Mountain. We will stop to admire the place, take some pictures and enjoy a snack. After that, we will go down to the lake and enjoy the last moments in this place, before going back to the camp for lunch. After the meal, we will take our things and go by vehicle to the Pincopata EcoCamp, where we will be able to rest or make an optional activity.

Those who already made the Humantay Lagoon excursion the previous day, have the possibility to go to the Abra Salkantay in a hard trek to climb 4,600 m a. s. l. We will begin the walk just after breakfast, going over small pampas between the mountains. Once on the highest part, and if the weather allows it, we will have a privileged view of the Salkantay and Humantay mountains, and we will be able to celebrate our achievement before going back to Soray EcoCamp for lunch. During the afternoon, we will take our vehicle to go to Pincopata EcoCamp, where we will rest and have dinner to say goodbye to our last trek day.

Day 4: Ollantaytambo – Machu Picchu. After breakfast, we will take our vehicle and go to Ollantaytambo, going through several Qechua villages of the Sacred Valley. There, we will take the train to go to Aguas Calientes. During the trip, we will enjoy our lunch, having great views of the landscape. When arriving at Aguas Calientes, we will take the bus to go towards the Machu Picchu citadel that we will cross over with our guide. He will explain us about the origin and history of this city, lost for a long time and rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in one of his journeys. After the tour by the site, we will go down to our hotel in Aguas Calientes, where we will be able to rest and go over the town, before dinner.

Day 5: Aguas Calientes – Ollantaytambo – Cusco. After breakfast, we will prepare our things and go to the station to take the train that will take us back to Ollantaytambo. There, our private transportation will be waiting to go back to the city of Cusco, where our activity ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • How far in advance should I book the tour?

    We receive bookings with minimum 48 hours in advance. However, the places are limited and are always subject to availability. The entry tickets to the Machu Picchu citadel have a high demand, running out of tickets, in some cases, with months in advance. Because of that, our recommendation is to make the booking as far in advance as possible.

  • What is the difference between the Machu Picchu citadel, Machu Picchu Mountain and Huayna Picchu Mountain?

    What commonly is known as "Machu Picchu" corresponds to the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, which is formed by different areas, among them the Machu Picchu citadel (archaeological center or ruins) and its two adjacent mountains: Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu. The tour includes the entry ticket to the citadel, but not the entry to climb up one of the mountains, which you can add as an optional to your booking. You can check the technical details, similarities and differences of the mountains here.

  • How long does it take the visit to Machu Picchu?

    The visit has a duration of three hours, and is divided as follows: 1 hour for a guided tour by the citadel, and two hours to climb up and go down one of the optional mountains, or to go over freely by the citadel.

  • Which are the differences between the Expedition and Vistadome train categories?

    The Expedition category as well as the Vistadome category offer comfortable leather seats, and include a snack, and a cold or hot beverage per person. The first and main difference between both categories is that the Vistadome train has roof windows in the wagons, which allows you to have a panoramic view of the exterior. The second difference is that the Vistadome train offers entertainment services on board, like traditional dances and parades.

  • I have already bought my entry ticket to Machu Picchu, is it possible to book the program without the entry ticket added to the total price?

    Yes. To make the booking in this way, you have to write us at reservas@denomades.com, indicating the number of people travelling and the date you want to begin the program, and we will send to you the corresponding quotation along with the instructions to make the booking.

  • Is it possible to add an accommodation night in Aguas Calientes and return to Cusco a day after the tour?

    Yes. To make the booking in this way, you have to write us at reservas@denomades.com, indicating the number of people travelling and the date you want to begin the program, and we will send to you the corresponding quotation along with the instructions to make the booking.

  • How is the weather in Machu Picchu?

    Machu Picchu is located between the Andes Mountain Range and the Amazonas Jungle, having a warm and mild weather, with a minimum average temperature of 12°C and a maximum average temperature of 24°C. From April to October is the dry season in the place, that is to say, during this period there is a lower possibility of having rain, while from November to March is the rain season, that is to say, during this period there is a higher possibility of having rain. Nevertheless, during the whole year there is possibility of rain, because we are talking about a subtropical area.

  • What do meals include during the Salkantay trek?

    During this activity, breakfast includes coca tea, hot beverage, bread, butter, jam and eggs. For lunch and dinner, salad, main course with protein and carbs (for the trek) and juice. Remember telling us if you are vegetarian or if you have any food allergies writing at reservas@denomades.com once you make the booking.

I have used DeNomades to plan and organize a wonderful trip during our stay in San Pedro de Atacama. I wanted to make sure we control the buget, all is scheduled and of good quality. We only had 2 days but with DeNomades we were able to fit the itinerary of 4 days...

Great professional tours. The website is pretty good and booking is easy. The tours were cheaper than what I found else where. Will use again in my future South American travels.

I just wanted to say a massive "thank you" to the Denomades team! I have booked a whopping 8 tours with them across 3 countries (Peru, Bolivia and Chile) and can only give them 5 stars across the board. They have been super-responsive, helpful and friendly...

Our group of friends booked two tours in La Paz. Booking was very fast and easy, and the guides were awesome! Up to now they were the best guides we met in all South America. I recommend Denomades for all!

We took the 4-day private tour to the Uyuni flat in Bolivia. Absolutely lovely experience. We had no previous recommendation about this agency/tour so it was a risky adventure. Replies to emails were immediate, help with payment was quick...
