- Top Testimonials, Safety, and Comfort.
What the American Hiram Bingham did in 1911, you can do in 21st century comfort. You can rediscover the lost sun-god temple of the Incas - Machu Picchu. When the Incas decided to build Machu Picchu, they chose a heavenly place. So, in a certain way, the Inca Trail is a road to heaven. Many hikers consider it to be the most wonderful trail on earth. All hikers are welcome; the Inca Trail is not difficult. Our package guarantees comfort and intense adventure.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Breakfast at the hotel. Begin the Inca Trail: bus to Chillca, hike to Llulluchapampa. The first day the trail leads along the Urubamba River, offering you spectacular views of snow-capped mountains and stunning vegetation.
Day 2: From Llulluchapampa you hike to Sayamarca. The second day is more challenging as you climb a 4.200-meter high pass, often covered in mist.
Day 3: From Sayamarca you walk to Wiña Wayna. A stone path guides you through a dense cloud forest to Wiña Wayna, passing many Inca ruins along the way.
Day 4: You arrive at the Inca “Sun Gate” just before sunrise, the fog lifts and you are looking down onto Machu Picchu just as the Incas did centuries before you. The sight is awe inspiring - a sprawling temple bathed in sunlight.
You are now able to visit the site and see the carved hitching post of the sun, the contoured walls fitting into every curve of the natural rock, the amazing jigsaw puzzle of individual building blocks in which no mortar was used and which have withstood centuries of earthquakes, the steep thousand meter high mountain- up which these blocks were raised- high above the valleys, the intricate irrigation system and terraced fields. This structured, intricate citadel is in complete contrast to the wild vision of mountain tops and gorges. Although you surely will not yet be ready to, in the afternoon you can take a comfortable train back to Cuzco, or as an option, you may stay overnight in Machu Picchu- which we highly recommend.
