Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

In the early morning, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the train station. We will board the train, which will take us to km.104 on the Cusco - Machu Picchu railroad, the starting point of our hike. We are expected to arrive around 9:00 am. Our first stop is the Chachabamba archaeological complex (2150m), located near the control point. Afterward, we embark on an 8 km uphill trail that takes approximately four hours to reach the magnificent Wiñaywayna archaeological complex (2650m). Continuing our journey, we climb to Intipunku, also known as The Sun Gate. From this extraordinary vantage point, we can marvel at the sacred citadel of Machu Picchu. After descending from Intipunku, we make our way to Machu Picchu and then take a bus to Aguas Calientes for overnight.
