2-Day Trek to Machu Picchu
2-Day Trek to Machu Picchu
Day 1
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Urubamba at 6 am and travel by bus to the Ollantaytambo train station where we'll board the train to kilometer 104, the starting point of the shorter version of the Inca Trail.
Upon arrival, we'll begin the 3-hour hike to Chachabamba and Wiñayhuayna, one of the most important archaeological sites along the route. By now you'll have built up an appetite, so we'll enjoy a yummy picnic lunch before continuing on towards Inti Punko, the Sun Gate.
Here we'll get our first glimpse of Machu Picchu from a breathtaking viewpoint where we'll watch the sunset and take amazing pictures. From Inti Punko we'll take a bus to Aguas Calientes, where we'll check into the hotel and rest until the next day.
Day 2
We'll have breakfast at the hotel and hop on a bus which will take us up to Machu Picchu, where we'll enjoy a 2.5-hour guided tour. The guide will let us in on all the secrets of this magnificent place shrouded in mystery, and we'll visit the most important areas of the citadel. After exploring this World Heritage Site, you'll have free time to explore independently.
When we meet again at the agreed-upon time, we'll get on the bus and head back to Aguas Calientes, where you'll be able to have lunch. In the afternoon, we'll take a train to Ollantaytambo and then drop you off at your hotel in Urubamba at 9:30 pm.
