Travel the last 13 km.(8 mi.) of the legendary Inca Trail that takes you to Machu Picchu, a masterpiece of Inca architecture and engineering and considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
Along the way, explore archeological remains, cross the “Intipunku” (Sun Gate) and enter through a cloud forest into this sacred sanctuary.
A train will take you directly to Km 104 (Mile 64), the starting point of the trek.
Along the way, with a spectacular view of the Urubamba Valley, visit the remains of Chachabamba and the impressive archeological complex of Wiñay Wayna, built by the Inca Pachacutec in the fifteenth century.
Continue hiking through one of the best-preserved sections of the Inca Trail, cross a cloud forest with abundant flora and fauna, including more than 300 types of orchids, until you reach the Sun Gate.
Enter through the gate and be amazed by the majestic Inca citadel, an image that will surely remain in your memory forever.
Calmly explore Machu Picchu and discover the history of Peru as you walk through squares, temples, fountains, monuments, and residences of what once was the most important religious, political, and cultural center of the Inca Empire.
Optionally, climb to the summit of Huayna Picchu Mountain or the top of Machu Picchu Mountain, two natural viewpoints with striking views of the entire citadel.
In the afternoon, board the train back to the Sacred Valley or to the city of Cusco.
