A member of the VIVA ANDINA team will pick you up by bus from the hotel at 3:15 am and transfer you to the train station in Ollantaytambo, 60km away from Cusco. Once there, you'll board the train around 6am towards Aguas Calientes, that will take you along a picturesque route for approximately 1:30 hours until reaching Km 104, where you'll disembark.

Accompanied by your guide, you'll begin the hike of the Inca Trail for about 3 hours, passing through Chachabamba, until reaching Wiñay Wayna (Always Young) at 2,680m. We'll spend an hour exploring this magnificent archaeological site and enjoy a picnic lunch. 

Then, the trek continues for about 2 hours to reach Inti Punku (Sun Gate) at 2,730m, a majestic viewpoint for Machu Picchu. We'll descend the final part of the trail to the ancient city, take some time to rest upon reaching Machu Picchu. Finally, we descend by tourist bus, arriving around 4:30pm, and transfer to the hotel where you will spend the night.
