DETAILED ITINERARY:

DAY 1: CUSCO – POROY  / OLLANTAYTAMBO – AGUAS CALIENTES

We will pick you up at 6.50 am from your hotel to take you either to Poroy train station (this station which is only 20 minutes away from Cusco) or to Ollantaytambo, which is 2 hours from Cusco.  This depends on the train and the time you choose to leave. Anyway the train drive is breathtaking with very comfortable seats. During the trip, you will enjoy many glacier peaks, green lush valleys and many Inca farming terraces in both sites of the valley. Moreover you will view from the train one of the many Inca ruins at km 82, where the classic Inca trail begins. Little by little, you will enter to the jungle and Aguas Calientes (2000 meters high above sea level) where our representative will pick you up and bring you to the hotel. Then you will have free afternoon where you can organize some activities, such as visit the hot springs, Mandor Gardes or the waterfalls. Lunch and dinner will be at the restaurant.

DAY 2: AGUAS CALIENTES – MACHU PICCHU – CUSCO

After early breakfast at your hotel, you will take a bus to the ruins which only takes 30 minutes and departs every 10 minutes. Or if you don’t want to take the bus but prefer to hike along the Inca trail, just let your guide know so that he can show you the Inca trail to Machupicchu, which takes about 1h 20 minutes.

In Machupicchu you will meet your group and have a 2 hours guided tour. Then you will have extra time to explore the ruins by yourself. If on the other hand you want to see Huaynapicchu, you can climb it or you can go to the most famous spot of Machupicchu. The sun gate is 1 hour climb, if you simply want to get postcard pictures of the ruins. We encourage all the travelers to make the most of their time in this place. Then you can take the bus to return to Aguas Calientes, or carry on with your walking through those famous Inca steps.
