We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 4 am and drive for 1.45 hours to the Ollantaytambo train station. Here, you will catch the train at either 6:10 am or 6:40 am, which will take you to Km 104 where the Inca Trail begins. At Km 104, you will meet your tour guide, pass the check point for the 2-day Inca Trail, and start your adventure by exploring the Inca site of Chachabamba.
Afterward, you will begin a guided uphill hike for 3 to 3.5 hours to Winaywayna, where you will stop to explore this beautifully preserved Inca site. You will then enjoy the packed lunch we provide, followed by a short rest before continuing your hike to the Sun Gate. Here, you will have an amazing view of Machu Picchu.
As you continue hiking into Machu Picchu, you will have time to take pictures and enjoy a short guided tour of the site. Around 5 pm, you will take a 30-minute bus ride from Machu Picchu down to Aguas Calientes. Once in town, you will have dinner before boarding the train around 6:30 pm for a 1.5-hour journey back to Ollantaytambo. Upon arrival in Ollantaytambo, our transfer will be waiting to drive you back to Cusco for another 1.5 hours, dropping you off at your hotel around 10 pm. This marks the end of your full-day Machu Picchu adventure.
