Cusco - Kilometer 104 - Aguas Calientes . Cusco.
We will leave Cusco at 04:00 am to start the one Inca Trail . We drive for about an hour and a half to Ollantaytambo where we will take our train until kilometer 104 where is the starting point of our trek. Our trek today takes us along the most wonderful stretch of the Classic Inca Trail 4 Days. We’ll visit beautiful Inca sites, see a variety of flora and fauna and get to take in the stunning panoramas of the Andes. Walking 10km of the trail our hike begins in the Sacred Valley and works it’s way up along a paved Inca trail to the archeological site of Winay Wayna before continuing on to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). After visiting Wiñay Wayna, we will have our box lunch.
After enjoying our meal. we’ll hike through the lush and green cloud forest that covers the mountain and get to see a wide variety of plants, flowers, orchids, and birds along the way. We might see some larger mammals such as Viscachas (rabbit-like Chinchillas) and Spectacled Bears (if we are very lucky).
After a full days hiking, we’ll get to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) in the afternoon and get our first views of Machu Picchu spread out on the mountain ridge below. The light in the afternoon is great for photos and with fewer tourists on the site, it’s a perfect time to take wonderful pictures of the site. After passing through the Sun Gate we’ll keep hiking for about 45 minutes to get Machu Picchu
Once you get Machu Picchu, you will go first to the platform where you will take a classical picture of Machu Picchu. The good thing is there are few people at the picture spot which help to enjoy Machu Picchu much better. Your tour guide will explain all the hightlights of Machu Picchu, which takes about two hours. You will see all of the most important parts of Machu Picchu. Finally, you will return to Aguas Calientes where you will have your dinner, after you take a train back to Ollantaytambo, and then our van back to Cusco. We will tranfer you to your hotel.
