Cusco - Kilometer 104 - Aguas Calientes

Winay Wayna - Starting the 2-day Inca Trail hike from Cusco at 4:00 am, we embark on a scenic 1.5-hour drive to Ollantaytambo for breakfast, followed by a train ride to kilometer 104, the trail’s starting point. The 15km trek along the Classic Inca Trail through the Sacred Valley features Inca sites and a variety of flora. A highlight is visiting Winay Wayna, where we enjoy a mountain-view picnic. As we pass through a lush cloud forest, participants may spot various plants, flowers, and wildlife. Arriving at the Sun Gate in the afternoon offers stunning views of Machu Picchu with fewer tourists, perfect for photos. After capturing the iconic Guard House shot, a bus takes us to Aguas Calientes, where you have free time until dinner, with optional activities like a dip in the hot springs, ending the day with an overnight stay at the hotel.

Machu Picchu - On the second day, the main attraction is the magical Machu Picchu experience. Starting with a hotel pick-up, you walk to the bus station for the 05:30 am departure to Machu Picchu, a scenic 30-minute ride. Upon arrival at the sanctuary, a passport and Machu Picchu checkpoint precedes a guided tour that delves into the history, geology, architecture, and biodiversity of this new wonder of the world. The visit lasts about 2 hours, followed by an optional hike to Huaynapicchu Mountain for those who have booked this separate entrance ticket at $65 per person. After returning to Aguas Calientes, lunch is provided before heading to the train station for the journey back to Ollantaytambo. Our driver will be waiting at Ollantaytambo to take you back to Cusco, with a drop-off at your hotel around 19:30.
