Continuing our hike, we will descend for another hour to reach the Sayacmarka archaeological site. Here, you will have time to explore and learn about its location and history from our guide. We will then continue through cobblestoned paths and tropical forest with humidity and abundant orchid species and wildlife, eventually reaching our lunch spot: Phuypatamarca.

Once there, our staff will prepare your hot shower and towels, and it will be time to celebrate.

This evening, we will celebrate with a bottle of sparkling wine to mark the completion of the Inca trail. It will also be a time to thank our staff members for their effort and excellent service, as we bid them farewell.

Day 04: Wiñayhuayna – Intipunku – Machupicchu – Aguas Calientes – Ollantaytambo – Cusco

Machu Picchu - Today, our motivation is Machupicchu, so we will start very early in the morning to catch the sunrise and see the Sun illuminate Machupicchu.

The first part of the hike will be uphill and downhill for approximately 1 hour until we reach Intipunku, where we will have an impressive view of Machupicchu Historical Sanctuary and Huayna Picchu mountain. We will then descend for another 30 minutes to reach the spot where you can take the famous postcard photo of this wonder.

After the photo session, our clients will have a private guided tour of Machupicchu Sanctuary, lasting approximately 2 hours, with plenty of information provided.
