The short excursion to Machu Picchu begins with pick up at your hotel at 4:00 am to take the train from Ollantaytambo. The train follows the Urubamba River trail until we reach Km 104, where we will begin our hike. We will then head out to visit our first Inca site. Then we will start walking as we head towards the Classic Inca Trail. We will have tremendous views of Machu Picchu, the Urubamba River and other surrounding Inca sites. After three hours of hiking, we will arrive at the most beautiful Inca site on the Inca Trail, Wiñay Wayna, where people have the opportunity to see these elaborate water fountains, temples and agricultural terraces. Here you will enjoy a freshly cooked lunch by Alpaca Expeditions' chefs. From Wiñay Wayna, we will walk to the Sun Gate. This is where we will see the picturesque scenery of the famous Machu Picchu. After enjoying the once-in-a-lifetime views, we will begin our descent to Machu Picchu and take the bus to Aguas Calientes.

At the end of the first day, we will arrive at Machu Picchu Pueblo, where we will spend the night.
