|
| Day 1 CUSCO / KM. 104 / CHACHABAMBA / WIÑAY WAYNA / MACHU PICCHU |
| |
|
|
|
| Leaving Cuso (or Ollantaytambo) on the early train, we head over the pass of Tika Tika to the puna (High Andean Savannah) and its rolling hills, downhill towards the Urubamba river in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. As the Valley becomes a canyon the cloud forest begins to appear with a vegetation change as we reach the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. Getting off, we cross a hanging bridge at km. 104 to the Chachabamba site, and after a brief visit begins a three hour ascent to the ruins of Wiñay Wayna, an important spiritual site. The Inca Trail cuts across the ridge above Machu Picchu to finally reach Intipunku the door of the sun from where the trail winds downhill. The classic vista into the lost citadel located right above the Urubamba River will be a unique experience; it is the most exquisite way to see Machu Picchu for the first time. Overnight at a hostal in Machu Picchu Pueblo (the village in the Urubamba Valley). Dinner on your own. |
| |
| Day 2 MACHU PICCHU / CUSCO |
| |
|
|
|
| After an early breakfast visit the citadel and surrounding complexes. You have the opportunity for an in depth tour of this world renowned site before returning to Cusco, giving you a chance to see the spectacular views without other tourists in your pictures. Optional hike up to the top of Wayna Picchu. Lunch included. Return by train to Cusco (or the Sacred Valley). |
