To begin this exciting adventure, we will cross the majestic Urubamba River (2200m). For the first day, you'll encounter an easy-to-travel trail, making it a great warm-up for what's to come in the following days.

Of course, we will meet during the short breaks and we will see each other during the climb up the stairs. In the early hours of the morning, the trail will take us through the impressive Llulluchapampa Valley (3850m/12631f). For the first 3 km, you will encounter a series of steps, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the lush beauty of the rainforest and enjoy the calming sounds of the water. From Llulluchapampa, continue on the trail for 2-3 hours until you reach the highest point of this section, known as Warmihuañusca (Dead Woman's Pass) (4200m/113780f). This ascent section is considered the most challenging part of the Inca Trail. After taking a short rest at the top, you will continue your hike with a long, steep descent towards the Pacaymayu River (Rio del Amanecer), passing through the Runkurakay Pass (3050m/10007f) before arriving at our camp, known as Chaquicocha a (3650m/11975f).
