Detailed Itinerary
Day 01: Cusco – Chachabamba – Wiñaywayna – Machu Picchu – Aguas Calientes
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco early in the morning (around 4:00 a.m.) and drive to the train station in Ollantaytambo, from where we will take the train to Kilometer (Km) 104, a journey of approximately three hours. Km 104 is an unscheduled train stop, so you may feel a special thrill knowing the train is stopping just for you – and that you are about to see sights that few others will! At Km 104, we will get off the train and pass through the Inca Trail checkpoint to visit our first archaeological site, Chachabamba (2,170 m / 7,120 ft).
These ruins were among the last shelters the Incas used before reaching Machu Picchu. The site also served as a religious and administrative center, featuring several buildings. From here, we will gradually ascend for about three hours, climbing Inca stone steps while our guide points out the diverse flora and fauna along the trail.
Next, we will pass a tall waterfall before arriving at the archaeological site of Wiñaywayna (2,650 m / 8,700 ft), named after an orchid and meaning “Forever Young” in Quechua. We will climb to the top of the ruins and enjoy lunch while taking in an incredible view of Wiñaywayna and the Sacred Valley. This large site, perched on a mountainside, features experimental terraces that the Incas used to cultivate various crops.
We will also visit an important temple with seven windows dedicated to the rainbow and admire the amazing engineering of water channels that are still functional today.
After finishing our tour of Wiñaywayna, we will continue our hike for about 1½ hours along a relatively flat section of the Inca Trail, with gentle ascents and descents along the way. Around 2:00 p.m., we will reach the Sun Gate (Intipunku, 2,720 m / 8,920 ft), where we will enjoy our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu. From there, we will descend to the ruins and take a bus down to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, you will check in to your hotel. If time permits, the town’s natural hot springs offer an unbeatable way to spend a late afternoon or early evening before dinner.
