We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco early in the morning. Then in our private transport, we will be driving you along the Sacred Valley of Incas to Ollantaytambo train station. Here you will be boarding the tourist train to the trailhead in Km.104. The trail head is named after its distance from Cusco on the way to Machu Picchu. Here we will begin the full day hike. Our local expert will be helping you to cross the control where your permit to hike the Inca Trail will be verified against your passport. We will begin with a gradual uphill hike to Winay Wayna. In Quechua the name means forever young. After touring the complex, we will be stopping for lunch at the campsite. From here, we will continue hiking to Sun Gate or Inti Punku. You will be rewarded with the first site of the lost city of Incas, Machu Picchu. We will then take a bus down to Aguas Calientes town. Here we will be accommodating you in an ensuite hotel room.
