Your adventure step by step
We leave early to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to take our train to km 104 on the rail road to Machu Picchu. We will notice a dramatic change in ecological levels, from Quechua to cloud forest. The latter will provide the backdrop for our walk.
Upon disembarking from the train at Km104, we will register with the SHMP authorities to begin our walk. We will follow an uphill path through magnificent geography to Wiñay Wayna, where we will have a short break and check in with the SHMP to continue our walk.
When we arrive at the Inti Punku, the entrance to Machu Picchu, we will enjoy our first view of the sacred city. This magical place will surprise us with impressive geography, as well as with the evidence of the high intellectual and spiritual development achieved by the Andean people, under the rule of the Inkas.
We will cross the archaeological site to take our transport to the town of Aguas Calientes, where after checking into our hotels, we will have a well-deserved rest.
Meals: box lunch
Early in the morning we will take our bus to the arqueological site of Machu Picchu, to enjoy a guided tour of this marvellous city. We will explore sacred places as well as the places where Andean man demonstrated the extent of his knowledge.
Machu Picchu was a place dedicated to the study and worship of the cosmos and the earth; a place where the knowledge and spirituality of the Andean man were combined to achieve a universal balance according to the Andean concept of duality.
Upon finishing our tour we will have lunch and, full of happy memories, begin our return journey to the city of Cusco.
