Hier ist der Ausgangspunkt
Chachabamba
You will be picked up at your hotel around 3.30am (Cusco Hotel) or 5:30 am (Ollantaytambo Hotel) (depending on train time) and transferred to the Ollantaytambo train station. We travel by train, on a very picturesque route for 2.5 hours until we reach 104 km, the start of the trail for us. Shortly after crossing the bridge over the Rio Urubamba, after cross the river you have the opportunity to use the toilet in the check point them organize your things and start the trekking, and we visit the site of Chachabamba which is a lovely ruin with its water channels and fountains. (altitude 2050m).
Winay Wayna
From here, we will hike upwards for about 13km (approximately 9 hours totally). The trail is well established, but there are still many stairs and the hike is mostly upwards! While this is one of the easiest treks around the Cusco region, you still need to have a reasonable level of fitness to complete it. After our upwards climb, we arrive at Wiñay Wayna ('Forever Young') (2680m/8792ft). This is an impressive complex made up of an agricultural center with numerous terraces, a religious sector and an urban sector. Many consider this the most impressive site on the whole Inca Trail. We will have our boxed lunch at Wiñay Wayna.
Aguas Calientes
- We will then continue for about one hour further into 'Inti Punku' (The 'Sun gate') (2730m/8792ft) from where you will have your first dramatic and impressive view of Machu Picchu (2400m/7873ft). As you are arriving late in the day you may be lucky enough to enjoy the view by yourself! After getting those classic photos, we will walk down the last part of the trail towards the ancient city itself. Before entering Machu Picchu, we will take a side path off the trail to go down to Aguas Calientes, as we will visit Machu Picchu on day 2. We will take the bus down to Aguas Calientes where you will check into your accommodation, and a celebratory dinner before getting to bed early in preparation for the next day’s early start(Dinner is not included this night)
