Start your adventure with an early morning bus/train ride through the Sacred Valley to Km 104, where the trail begins. From the very first steps, you’ll be walking along original Inca stone paths, surrounded by misty mountains, waterfalls, and exotic orchids. Along the way, your expert guide will bring history to life as you explore Chachabamba and the stunning archaeological site of Wiñay Wayna, perched on the edge of the mountains with panoramic views of the Urubamba River below. Then comes the highlight — the moment you’ve been waiting for. After a rewarding hike, you’ll pass through the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) and catch your first breathtaking glimpse of Machu Picchu, bathed in golden afternoon light — a moment you’ll never forget. Spend the night in the charming town of Aguas Calientes.
