Full description
Day 1: Cusco, KM 104, and Machu Picchu You will be picked up in the early morning from your hotel from where you will be transferred to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Once there, you will take the train for 1.5 hours to KM 104. You'll pass the checkpoint at KM 104 from where you will begin trekking for around 3.5 hours to Wiñayhuayna. As you ascend you will be able to take pictures of the beautiful landscapes, including views to the sacred Wilkanota River and Challabamba. At the archeological site of Wiñaywayna your tour guide will explain to you the function of the site, and once you have enjoyed a delicious box lunch you will continue along the classic Inca Trail to arrive to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). From this place you will be able to enjoy the beautiful and unforgettable views of Machu Picchu's Citadel, after which you will travel down the trail for around an hour to Machu Picchu to enjoy the sunset. From Machu Picchu you will take a bus for 30 minutes to Aguas Calientes Village, where you will be taken to your hotel. You'll end your day in the evening with a delicious dinner with your guide. Day 2: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, and Cusco   Following breakfast at your hotel, you will head to Machu Picchu by bus. Inside Machu Picchu you will receive a 2-hour guided tour during which you will learn about the types of amazing constructions, the engineering of the terraces, and the most important places in Machu Picchu (including how they were used). When you finish your tour you’ll return to Aguas Calientes by bus or by hiking. Once at the village you you will find that there is plenty to discover, as you explore the shops, crafts, and art, and can also enjoy the hot springs or try new foods.

This is the single best way to get to Machu Picchu if you are active and enjoy learning history and culture from the experts! Our guide even met with us the day prior to cover expectations for the hike. We were picked up early morning right on time and bussed to a beautiful train station - the train ride was relaxing as our guide Broly got to know our interests and explained history! We began our hike which was quite intense - over 300 flights of stairs, stopping along little Incan villages along the way. The landscape was vast - it felt like we were one of maybe 20 on the trail! The picnic was excellent food (quinoa, empanadas, and more)! The overnight accommodations were perfect and we had time to get souvenirs and visit the local hot springs. Once we arrived to Machu Picchu we learned SO much and didn’t feel rushed. We got to take our time learning and taking in the view - VIP! WOW to the company and Broly - you helped us create the perfect trip for our small group of 25 year olds.
