ITINERARY
We will pick you up very early from your hotel. Then our private transportation will carry to Ollantaytambo Train Station where we will board a train to Kilometer 104, where we will begin our Inca Trail, and the first place to visit is the small town of Chachabamba. After three hours of hiking, we will arrive at the Wiñayhuayna Archeological Site, whose name means “Eternal Youth,” where we will have lunch and then explore the area. We will then continue for about one hour further onto ‘Inti Punku’ (The ‘Sun gate’) (2730m/8792ft) from where you will have your first and impressive view of Machu Picchu (2400m/7873ft), as you are arriving late in the day you may be lucky enough to enjoy the view by yourself! After getting those classic photos, we will walk down the last part of the trail towards the ancient city and take a side path off the trail to go down to Aguas Calientes, as we will visit Machu Picchu on day 2. We’re going to take the bus down to Aguas Calientes where you will check into your accommodation, and a celebratory dinner before getting to bed early in preparation for the next day’s early start.
Meals Included: (L)(D)
We have breakfast and then take the first bus up to Machu Picchu. A walking tour (approximately 2.5 hours) is given by your guide so that later you can have free time to explore and enjoy the breathtaking and mysterious Inca city. At an agreed-upon time, in the afternoon, we will board the train from Aguas Calientes to return to Cusco (Cuzco) where you be taken to your hotel.
