We
begin our trek at a moderate altitude of 2,500
meters, going though a tropical rainforest; you
will hike up for about ¾ of an hour until you
reach the spectacular ancient ruins of Winay
Wayna (Forever Young). Late in the afternoon, we
will arrive to the Inti Punku (Gates of the
Sun), the original entry to the mysterious “Lost
City of the Incas”, Machupicchu.
You will take a bus down to Aguas Calientes
where we spend the night in a hotel of your
choice. The next day, hike up to the Pyramid
shape Huayna Picchu escorted by your guide. Late
afternoon train back to Cusco.
To take the traditional Inca Trail we recommend make your booking at least 5 months in advance because there are limited entrances per day. But if all is full and you are already in Cusco you have many alternative hikes that finish also in Machupicchu, such us: Salkantay, Lares, etc.

The teachers were great - thanks Luz and Mario! They used alternative methods to teach us Spanish, popular songs, walking tours of the city. Which were very effective. My homestay family was also very friendly and accommodating...
