Our adventure begins very early, we will pick up at 4 a.m. from Cusco, then we travel to the train station, where we will depart at 6:10 a.m. from Ollantaytambo. As we traverse the Sacred Valley, you'll see spectacular views of farmland, snow-capped mountains, and the mighty Urubamba River, which is one of the sources of the Amazon River. We head to the starting point of the Inca Trail, known as "Chachabamba" or Km 104 (2,150 m / 6,927 feet). Around 07:00 hours, we will be at the "INRENA Machu Picchu" checkpoint, where we must show our original passport and we will immediately begin to prepare our trekking equipment.

After taking a group photo we will begin to visit the first archaeological site, which will be Chachabamba, then we will continue walking for three hours, we will arrive at the most beautiful Inca site on the Camino: Wiñay Wayna (Always Young) at 2,600 m / 8,500 feet. Most people have the opportunity to see an elaborate water fountain, temples, some agricultural products, and terraces, which offer a perfect opportunity to learn about the history of the Incas. At the end of the guided tour we go to the lunch place.

After a hearty lunch, we continue our walk for another two hours, arriving at Intipunku or "the Gate of the Sun" (2730 m / 9007 feet), from where we can appreciate the impressive, first views of the incredible citadel of Machu Picchu. After taking photographs and resting we continued for another 1 hour this time all downhill until we reached Machupicchu. Once you arrive at Machu Picchu, you will have time to take more photographs from the observation platforms above the site (Casa de Guardia), where you can take the famous postcard photographs of Machu Picchu Since we meet fewer people in the afternoon which gives you the opportunity to enjoy this magical experience, we then head to take the bus to Aguas Calientes, then to your hotel. You will have a delicious dinner and have time to walk around this small town, visit the hot springs or simply go to your hotel to rest after such an exciting day.
