‍Early morning transfer from your hotel in Cusco to the train station in Ollantaytambo. If you are staying in Ollantaytambo it’s a short walk to the train station.  We take the train to Km 104 with your Guide.  We cross over the Vilcanota River via a beautiful bridge and arrive at Chachabamba. This is the first Inca ruin on our trek.

Upon leaving Chachabamba the path ascends into a forest and much needed shade. We reach a magnificent waterfall and shortly afterwards arrive at the beautiful Inca construction of Wiñay Wayna (‘Forever Young’) after around 3 hours hiking.  

We have a box lunch and after taking a short break our journey continues to Inti Punku (‘the Sun Gate’), roughly another 2 hours walking, from where we have our first impressive view of Machupicchu.  You will have a guided tour lasting around 2 hours on the amazing architecture and mysterious temples.  Your guide will explain all about the sophisticated ideas of this highly advanced culture that once inhabited the citadel.  Once we have completed the official tour, you will have some extra time to explore the sanctuary on your own before catching the bus to the town of Aguas Calientes from where we take the late train back to Ollantaytambo train station where our driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your Cusco hotel.
