Our transportation will takes us to the starting point of our trek. The trail follows the left bank of the Urubamba River and arriving to Llactapata ruins which where restored, we can explore this incredible place before continuing upstream to the Indian community of Huayllabamba.

From our camp the trail ascends steeply to a large pampas below the first pass where we have lunch. Hiking gradually up hill, in about two more hours we get to Warmiwañuska pass (4,050 mts/13,280 ft), the first and the highest pass with a breath-taking view of Mount Huayanay. From here a quick descent by a recently restored trail with staircases take us to Pacaymayo River where we camp.

Today is the longest and the most interesting, the trail climbs to the impressive ruins of Runkuraqay, then we continue slowly to the second pass with incredible views of the Vilcanota mountain range. Now the trail descend to Sayaqmarka, a pre-Hispanic complex with narrow streets and buildings erected on different levels, shrines, patios, canals, and a protecting outer wall. Continue to Phuyupatamarca, constructed near the third pass with extraordinary views of the mountains and the Urubamba canyon. Now a flagstone trail winds sharply down into the cloud forest arriving to Wiñay Wayna ruins that has wonderful agricultural terraces, a small religious
sector and the residential area where the houses are located.

A two hour hike will take us to Inti Puncu pass (the gate of the Sun) where we see the magnificent lost city of the Incas at our feet. One hour more downhill and we get to the ruins.
