TOUR DESCRIPTION

DAY ONE:

SHORT INCA TRAIL
Cusco, Chachabamba km 104, Wiñaywayna, Sun gate, and Machu Picchu

Our short Inca trail starts by collecting you from your hotel. We then have a private transfer to the train station. We take the first train available departing from either Poroy at 20 minutes from Cusco or Ollantaytambo in the sacred valley. It is a relaxing tour by train which allows you to enjoy panoramic views of the Valley surrounded by snow capped mountains, stunning landscapes and people dressed traditionally in the villages. We pass the town of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley via Pomatales magical canyon while the turbulent Urubamba River on your right leads you to incredible views of archaeological sites and nature. Way down the valley is Chachabamba kilometer 104, the starting point of our hike which is flanked by a big cloud forest. It is a hike across a steep mountainside and forested peaks to get to Wiñaywayna ruins where we have a pocketed lunch. In the afternoon, the last stretch of the hike is on a granite paving stone path, under a dark green cloud forest to reach the enigmatical Sun Gate, entrance to the mystical heart of Machu Picchu. Here we will watch the sunset. Once the sun has set, we will take the bus to a hotel in Aguas Calientes town. We will enjoy dinner at a restaurant and stay the night at the hotel in the village.

DAY TWO:

MACHU PICCHU TOUR
From 6 A.M. until 10 A.M
The sunrise and the tour in Machu Picchu

We wake up early to take the first bus up to Machu Picchu to enjoy the sunrise from the Guardian House: it is the best look out post and viewpoint. The sun shines brightly over the astronomical observatories and temples. This is an incredible natural phenomenon of our father sun. After the sunrise, we start our Machu Picchu Tour.

The tour offers a personal meeting with the Inca legacy through a guided visit. It lasts approximately two hours and afterwards you will have free time to explore Machu Picchu on your own or climb Waynapicchu. We then take the bus to the village of Aguas Calientes. In the afternoon we will return to Cusco by train from where you will have a transfer from the train station your Cusco hotel.

We have dinner at a restaurant and our services end by leaving you at your hotel.
