A Unique Experience in the Heart of the Andes
The tour begins early in the morning, with transfer from Cusco to kilometer 104 of the railway to Machu Picchu. From this point the trek begins, ascending along ancient Inca trails surrounded by lush vegetation and panoramic views of the Urubamba valley. Along the way, you can observe orchids, exotic birds, and an impressive variety of flora and fauna typical of the Andean cloud forest.
Archaeological Sites Along the Trail
One of the first highlights of the route is Chachabamba, an archaeological site that served as a ceremonial and control center before entering the sacred city. Further along, the trail leads to Wiñay Wayna, a spectacular Inca complex with agricultural terraces, temples, and ritual fountains. This place, whose name means “Forever Young,” offers an impressive view of the natural surroundings and is ideal for resting before the final stretch to Machu Picchu.
Triumphant Arrival at Machu Picchu
The most anticipated moment arrives when crossing the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), from where you get the first panoramic view of Machu Picchu. The emotion of contemplating the citadel from above, after hours of hiking, is indescribable. After a brief rest, the tour continues to the archaeological site for a guided visit that reveals the secrets of its architecture, its history, and its spiritual connection with the surrounding mountains.
