Peru Trekking
Inca Trail Express
DURATION : 2 Days / 1 Night
DEPARTURE : As per requests SEASON : All Year except February
when the Trail is closed
This trip is terrific
option for those who want to experience the beauty and wonder of arriving at
Machupicchu after only 1 day of walking. It is ideal for those who do not have
much time or have physical limitations. On this trek we will find many
archaeological sites, cloud forests, waterfalls, an abundant variety of fauna
and flora, and many species of birds. The walk lasts for approximately 6 to 7
hours upon which we will arrive at the Inti Punku (the Sun Gate) and have our
first inspiring view of Machupicchu, the hidden capital of the Incas, and enjoy
the beautiful vistas of the Vilcanota mountain range.
Day 1: Cusco
(3,350m) - Km 104 (2,200m) - Wiñay Wayna (2,700m) - Machupicchu (2,500m)
We take an early
morning train from Cusco through the picturesque Sacred Valley until we reach Km
104, where we start our trek. We cross over the Vilcanota River via a beautiful
bridge and arrive at Chachabamba. This is the first Inca ruin on our trek. Upon
leaving Chachabamba the path ascends into a forest and much needed shade. We
reach a magnificent waterfall and shortly afterwards arrive at the beautiful
Inca construction of Wiñay Wayna (‘Forever Young’). We have lunch in a
restaurant, and after taking a short break our journey continues to Inti Punku
(‘the Sun Gate’) from where we have our first impressive view of Machupicchu.
After taking in the view we take the bus to the town of Aguas Calientes where we
spend the night.
Day 2: Aguas
Calientes (2,000m) - Machupicchu - Aguas Calientes - Cusco
After a good
breakfast, we take the first bus up to Machupicchu where we will have a guided
tour on the amazing architecture and mysterious temples with our professional
English speaking guide, who will help us to understand the sophisticated ideas
of this highly advanced culture. Once we have completed the official tour, you
will have plenty of time to explore the sanctuary on your own before returning
to Cusco by train in the afternoon.
