We’ll rise early to catch the sunrise over the Inca Trail before a hearty breakfast. Our trek begins with a visit to Phuyupatamarca (“Town above the Clouds”) at 3,680 m / 12,073 ft, a stunning archaeological site often shrouded in mist.
From there, we descend along the stone pathways to Wiñay Wayna, the trail’s largest archaeological complex after Machu Picchu, with terraces, religious sectors, and an agricultural center. We’ll also stop at Intipata (Terraces of the Sun), offering sweeping views of the Sacred Valley.
Continuing along the trail, we’ll reach the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where we’ll be rewarded with our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu. From here, we descend to Aguas Calientes, the town at the base of Machu Picchu. Once in town, you’ll have time to relax, explore the markets, or enjoy the thermal hot springs (not included), while preparing for the final day of exploring Machu Picchu.
