Wiñaywayna is located on the Inca Trail route, 3.3 km in a straight line (straight line) south-southeast of Machu Picchu, between Puyupatamarca and Intipunku (the 'Gate of the Sun', entrance to Machu Picchu).

It contains two types of architecture: the imperial Inca structures and the domestic types. For the type of architecture, structures and distribution, it was probably a religious center where the Incas performed ceremonies dedicated to Mother Nature, especially the mountains.

We will pass through cloud forests and finally into subtropical vegetation. People who take the short tour of the Inca Trail for 2 days will have the privilege of seeing the famous Citadel of Machu Picchu.

The name of this Inca construction comes from a Quechua word that means 'Gate of the Sun'. All tourists can visit it by taking a walk of approximately 1 hour. It was the main gate of Machupicchu in Inca times.

Known in this way for the hot springs that the place has today, it is called Machu Picchu town. Surrounded by dense vegetation, large mountains and colorful markets, this small town is home to the Machu Picchu Station, the last stop to begin the journey to the imposing Inca Citadel.
