Inca Trail to Machupicchu 4D3N

Second Day : After a rich and tasty breakfast we take the bus at approximately 6am up to Macchu Picchu so we can enjoy the beautiful sun rise. A hiking tour of around 2 hours is given by your tour guide, after which you can explore the mysterious city all by yourselves. When you feel you are full with the mystical vibes of that legendary place we return to Aguas Calientes to catch the train back to Ollantaytambo followed by a bus to Cusco. You should back to your hotel at 10:30pm. And here ends your Machu Picchu hiking adventure.

Day 4: On a quite early morning after our delicious breakfast we return to the path. We head off towards Runkuracay to visit its archaeological remains, and then continue hiking to the 3,900 meters mountain pass of the same name, where we begin our descent to the ruins of Sayacmarca. After lunch, our hike takes us to WiñayWayna, which is our last night in camp.

After breakfast we continue the hiking to reach Intipunku ('Door of the Sun'), where we have a spectacular panoramic view of the citadel of Machu Picchu. We descend to the city of Machu Picchu and start a hike tour (of approximately 2 hours) alongside your guide, after which you can explore the mysterious city all by yourselves. You also have the option to visit to the Hot Springs in Aguas Calientes where the entrance fee at the door is US$4.

You later meet your guide in Aguas Calientes, to take the afternoon train back to Ollantaytambo followed by a bus to Cusco. We are in Cusco at around 10:30 pm.

Optional: we can use the showers of the restaurant we have lunch at, always a good option to remember warm water.

Meals: Breakfast

Optional: If you would like to spend an extra day in Machupicchu, please let us know so we can change the date on your return train ticket to Cusco. Inka Trail Expeditions Perú can provide a guide and hotel for the extra day at an additional cost. Please be aware that you will have to pay for a second day entrance ticket to the Machupicchu Inca City.
