Inca Trail 4 Days 3 Nights on the Lowest Price, Day by Day

At $750 per person this is the lowest price of the sixteen treks, and it is honest about why: two travelers must book together, no personal porter is included, the sleeping bag is an add-on and the train back from Machu Picchu is bought separately. The listing gives more day-by-day detail than most.

  1. Day one. About 12 km with a high point near 3,000 m, and temperatures of 10–23 °C, to the camp at Wayllabamba.

  2. Day two. About 10 km — 7 up and 3 down — over the pass, with temperatures of 3–20 °C, to the camp at Pacaymayo.

  3. Day three. Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Phuyupatamarca, then down through the cloud forest to Wiñay Wayna.

  4. Day four. About 6 km, a two-hour walk to the Sun Gate and a guided tour of Machu Picchu. The train (1.5 hours) and the bus to Cusco (1.5 hours) are add-ons. The listing gives 45 km in total.

The main thing

What the price includes. A pre-departure briefing in Cusco, a bilingual guide (two guides for groups over ten), hotel pickup and transfers to the trailhead, a tent and air mat, three of each meal plus snacks, hot drinks and a happy hour, boiled water, porters for the group equipment, the permits and fees for porters and cooks, entry to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu and a guided tour of the citadel.

What it leaves out. Breakfast on day one and lunch on day four, the train back and the transfer to your hotel, a personal porter (7 kg, add-on), the sleeping bag and poles (add-ons) and tips. It is non-refundable once booked.
