Peru Trekking
- Inca Trail Express
The well-preserved final stretch of the
Inca Trail starting at Chachabamba (km 104) on the railroad, up to Wiñay Wayna
and a stunning descent to Machu Picchu, hiking into the citadel through
Intipunku, the door of the Sun. Night at a hotel, return to Cusco next day.
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 tourist in your pictures. Optional hike up to
the top of Wayna Picchu. Lunch included. Return by train to Cusco (or the Sacred
Valley).
