Itinerary
Day 1: Cusco - Km 104 - Sungate - Machu Picchu - Aguas Celientes
Stop At: Inca Trail, Machu Picchu Peru
Pick up at 4:00 am and drive to Ollantaytambo. From here it’s a 1-hour train ride along the Urubamba river from Ollantaytambo (in the highlands) to km 104 at Chachabamba (in the cloud forest), where we start our hike to Machu Picchu. Our first stop is a beautiful Inca ruin called Chachabamba.
After exploring the site we will hike for 4 hours until we arrive at Wiñay Huayna (the place that never gets old). An organic packed lunch and refreshments will be provided. Later we will continue our hike to the Sun Gate to catch your first glimpse of the Lost City of the Incas - a truly unforgettable sight.
From the Sun Gate, it’s a 1-hour downhill walk to the city. We will arrive in Machu Picchu in the afternoon and will, therefore, have the unique opportunity of experiencing the citadel almost empty. We will then take the bus down to Aguas Calientes where we will have dinner, and spend the night in a hotel.
