Machu Picchu 4 Day Hike: What to Expect
Imagine: you’re awakened by the sounds of guides going through the camp, stirring the campers from their slumber and telling them to prepare – this is going to be a great day! The smell of breakfast drifts to you from somewhere in the camp, and you hear the rustle of feet outside as the others emerge from their tents, sleepy but excited. Your adventure – a Machu Picchu 4 day hike – is about to continue.
The Story of Your Machu Picchu 4 Day Hike
You roll over slowly and glance at your watch – it’s 6:30 am. Everything aches: your legs, arms, feet, back, and neck. You think about the last two days, hiking through the most beautiful places you have ever seen. You’re in Inca territory, with ancient ruins and the mountains and valleys where they once thrived. You stretch and twist, loosening up for another day of exploring, journeying further into this lost civilization, accessible now only by those bold and inspired enough to hike the miles.
As you get onto the path for today, you wonder what will you experience. The amazing scenes of yesterday play through your mind. Gorgeous mountains, the breathtaking views from that high pass – over 13,800 feet! Standing in the ancient ruins, where hundreds of years before an entire civilization lived, created such mystery and then vanished into the past.
You’re halfway through this unbelievable experience, two days behind you and two more to go, but time can’t capture what you’ve seen or felt. The sites and scenery have touched you deeply, and you’ll never be the same.
Today you traverse the jungle known as the Cloud Forest, admire snow-capped Salkantay in the Sacred Valley, and view the Vilcabamba mountains. Two more fascinating Inca ruins, and then camp to prepare for the last day of your journey.
Day four arrives and you start even earlier: 3:30 am. You visit the Sun Gate and then begin your descent into Machu Picchu – The Lost City Of The Incas. A 2-hour private tour tops off your amazing adventure, surrounded by all the sites and stories of the Incas. A train transports you to your bus, which returns you to your hotel at the very end of the experience.
