INKA TRAIL 2 DAYS
This trip allows a taste of the Inca Trail with days of hiking and
camping. We begin the hike from the train stop at Kilometer 104 and
follow the trail for six hours to the spectacular view of Machu Picchu
from Inti Punku, The gate of the Sun. From here we descend into the
world famous “Lost City”. After a restful night in a hotel, We return to
Machu Picchu at dawn to see the ruins in perfect morning light. In the
afternoon, We return to Cusco by train.
DAY 3: CUSCO/MACHU PICCHU:
We take the train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, following the
Urubamba river to Km.104 of the railroad, where we alight and cross a
footbridge to begin our hike at the Inca site of Chachabamba. After a
brief visit to this lovely ruin with its water channels and fountains,
we start the four-hour ascent that will take us past spectacular
overlooks above the great valley, then below a lovely waterfall near the
delightful site of Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young). We ascend through this
largest and most exquisite of the Inca Trail sites, passing its chain of
ritual baths and elegantly curved terracing, and then joining the main
Inca trail. We follow it across a steep mountainside and up narrow
stairways through lush, humid cloud-forest of giant ferns and broad-leaf
vegetation. Suddenly we cross the stone threshold of Intipunku (Sun
Gate) and encounter an unforgettable sweep of natural beauty and human
artistry –a backdrop of twisting gorge and forested peaks framing the
magical city of Machu Picchu.
We walk the last half-hour or so down the royal flagstone walkway, past
outlying shrines and buildings and through the heart of Machu Picchu,
taking a bus to the small town of Aguas Calientes where we spend the
night in a selected accommodation. (Walking distance approximately 13
Km). (B, Box Lunch)
