This hike takes more time to do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, leaving more
time to appreciate the nature and archaeology along the way. We spend one
long fourth day visiting Winaywayna and Machu Picchu, and on the fifth day
return to Machu Picchu to see the sunrise from the Sun´s Gate. We encounter
valleys that contain wildlife endemic to high deserts or the tropics,
between stretches of puna and cloud forest. We encounter mysterious
archaeological sites half covered by jungle overgrowth, which look like you
are discovering them for the first time. Machu Picchu is one of the world´s
greatest cultural treasures, and of these is the most enigmatic.
Included: Bus service until km 88, entrance ticket to the Inca trail,
professional English and Spanish speaking guide, tents, bath tent, cook tent,
carriers, extra porters for your personal items, breakfasts, lunches and
dinners (as explained below), complete Machu Picchu's ruins tour, train
ticket back to Cusco.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Cusco.
Nevertheless take note there is a limit of visitors per day so I
suggest you to book the trip as soon as possible to guarantee
your spots.
*Remember to take your passport and your isic card on the inca
trail because without they you are not going to be able to do
the hiking and take only the necessary items for the 4/3 days
trek, the rest of your luggages you can leave it at your hotel
in Cusco (most of hotels and hostals has an storage where to
keep until your return)
* Participants need to be in good physical health and condition
to be able to enjoy the Inka Trail. The trekking will be
difficult if you have not exercised regularly before your trip.
To fully enjoy an Inka Trail adventure, we advise passengers to
get into an exercise program for their own safety and enjoyment.
If a passenger suffers from any medical condition, we advise him/her
to consult a physician about joining an Inka Trail Expedition.
