Welcome to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most iconic cities in the world. We will be waiting for your arrival at the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport and then transfer you to your hotel in the city of Cusco.

You'll need to get up early for your once-in-a-lifetime adventure! At 4 a.m., your guide will arrive at your Cusco hotel to pick you up. On the way to Ollantaytambo, relax or even sleep a little longer in our comfortable, private transportation. When you arrive at the train station, your guide will give you a box lunch to add to your daypack. Your train leaves Ollantaytambo at 6:10 a.m., and you will have just over an hour to enjoy the scenery and eat breakfast (not included). Your hotel can provide you with a picnic breakfast to take with you, or you can pack your breakfast.
Your guide will meet you at the famous Km 104, where your hike will begin! (2,000 m.a.s.l./6,560 f.a.s.l.) After crossing the Urubamba River on a beautiful footbridge, show your passport at the checkpoint and visit your first Inca site nearby. The first hour and a half is a gradual ascent with several shelters along the way to take a break from the sun or rain, depending on the season. You'll stop at several viewpoints to get a good look at the Urubamba River. You will also travel through several microclimates, including a cloud forest, so be prepared for dampness or even rain at any time of year. The next hour and a half of hiking is a slightly steeper uphill, with a beautiful waterfall as your reward.
Cross the bridge below the waterfall, take some photos, and you'll find yourself gazing up at the magnificent Wiay Wayna! (2,600 meters/8,500 feet above sea level) The history of these incredible Inca ruins is fascinating; some parts are still hidden by dense jungle. You're hiking through lush subtropical jungle this close to Machu Picchu. Before the short 5-minute walk to your lunch spot, your guide will tell you all about the ruins, such as this microclimate's incredible flora and fauna, and answer any questions you may have.
Your lunch location is a covered shelter at the Wiay Wayna campground, the final campground for hikers on the four-day Inca Trail. There are outdoor handwashing stations and restrooms nearby. Enjoy your hearty, gourmet lunch while admiring the tropical flowers around the campground. When you book, please let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
After lunch, you'll walk flat to the Sun Gate, where you'll get your first glimpse of Machu Picchu! Even though the hour-long walk is a gentle rolling up and down, it concludes with a set of steep stairs carved directly into the bedrock by the Inca. You'll know you've arrived at the Sun Gate when you reach the stairs! It's a breathtaking view of Machu Picchu, so take your time and snap some photos. The last 45 minutes from the Sun Gate offer numerous opportunities to photograph Machu Picchu from this unique vantage point. There are a few more important Inca sites between the Sun Gate and Machu Picchu, so take your time, enjoy walking in the footsteps of the Incas on the Inca Trail, and ask your guide questions about these historical sites on the last leg of your hike to Machu Picchu.
Once you arrive, you will have time to take more photos from the viewing platforms above Machu Picchu. You'll arrive in the afternoon, when the archeological area begins to be empty of tourists, allowing you to take beautiful photos in the afternoon light with fewer people in your shots. Enjoy this magical experience before taking the bus to Aguas Calientes to check into your hotel. After a delicious dinner, you will have time to walk around this picturesque little town, visit the hot springs, or relax in your hotel after such an exciting day.

This is the moment you've been looking forward to! You'll board one of the first buses up to Machu Picchu after an early breakfast at your hotel so that you can see the sunrise. It's a very remarkable location that you won't want to miss! Your tour will last approximately two hours and will be led by your guide. Your tour of Machu Picchu includes the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Condor, Temple of Three Windows, Sun Dial, Quarry, and the House of the Inca. You'll also learn about the three sectors that Machu Picchu is separated into: agricultural, residential, and religious.
Those who have booked extra hikes up Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain in advance can enjoy the views independently after your tour. You'll take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes for lunch once you've had your fill of the fantastic vistas of Machu Picchu (not included). Depending on when your train leaves, you may have time to go shopping, sightseeing, or visit a museum or hot springs. At 14:55 or 15:20, your train will depart.
The train will return you to Ollantaytambo via the beautiful Urubamba River. The canyon is tight in Aguas Calientes, and the river has numerous excellent whitewater parts. If you gaze up high on the steep canyon wall, you can see Wiay Wayna from the train! Your driver will meet you at the railway station exit in Ollantaytambo and drive you back to your Cusco hotel in our private vehicle. You should arrive at your hotel at night.
