We pick you up at your hotel in Cusco early in the morning and then take you by bus or taxi to the San Pedro train station in Cusco ,or the railway station in Ollantaytambo  where we will take the train to km 104 .This is the beginning of the trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. We start the walk to the second most important pass on the Inca Trail Wiñaywayna, at 2850 m. On the way we have a guided tour . After having our lunchbox we continue our trek to Wiñaywayna, visiting this beautiful Inca citadel. From here we start our trek to Aqua Calientes, most of the time going down .Here we sleep in a local guesthouse ,clean but basic .In Aqua Calientes we take our diner in one of the many restaurants along the railway .This day you walk around 6 to 7 h

We take our breakfast, very early in the morning. Than we start our last day early ,by taking one of the first buses going up to the entrée of the famous Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu. the“Lost City of the Incas.” We will be one of the first visitors this day .Your bilingual guide will take you throughout the vast ruins for about 2h. After this you have some free time to wander around yourself Machu Picchu is the best known of the Inca ruins, as it is recognized worldwide yet it is not mentioned in any of the writings of the Spanish Conquistadors. It is believed to have been constructed around the mid-15th century and was “rediscovered” by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911. The guided tour of this fascinating place is an inspiring experience. Visit the Main Square, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Circular Towers, the Sacred Sun Dial and Burial Grounds. After the excursion you can walk to Inti Punko, the “SUN GATE” to take the famous picture or to the mountain behind Machu Picchu “ Huayna Picchu “, in 45 min ,from here you have stunning views over the whole complex !But be careful,from 2005 there is a new rule that there are only 300 persons a day allowed and the gate close at 12 h .After your free time you can walk down or drive down by bus to the town of Aguas Calientes for a late lunch or a dip in the hot springs (not included).
