Trekking Tours to Machu picchu the new Wonder 5D/4N

Your tour will begin with a pick-up from your hotel at 8 AM. From there, you’ll leave Cusco in our private transportation, heading to your first stop at the Alpaca farm. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to see four South American camelids: Llamas, Alpacas, Guanacos, and Vicuñas. These animals held great importance for our ancestors, and your guide will explain the differences between each of them.

Next, you’ll continue to Pisac, a place known as the capital of corn and potatoes. Depending on the season, you may have the chance to see the farming area. Once at the Pisac Inca site, you’ll embark on a walking tour, exploring the famous circular Andean terraces, rooms, and water fountains. This site is one of the largest in the Sacred Valley, and you’ll have the opportunity to appreciate its beauty.

After exploring Pisac, you’ll head back to Pisac town, where you can visit the local market. This market is a typical one where the local population still practices the exchange of products. It’s a great place to shop for souvenirs if you’re interested.

Following your market visit, you’ll continue driving for approximately an hour until you reach Urubamba. Here, you’ll stop for lunch, enjoying a delicious meal. Afterward, you’ll continue driving for another 30 minutes to Ollantaytambo, known as the last living Inca city. This beautiful place is home to an impressive Inca archaeological site, where you’ll have a guided tour. Exploring this site takes about an hour, during which you’ll learn about its historical importance.

Finally, your guide will escort you to your hotel in Ollantaytambo, where you will spend the night, concluding your day of exploration in the Sacred Valley.

The adventure begins early in the morning at 5:45 AM when we pick you up from your hotel. You’ll take a short walk to the train station, where we’ll board the train to km 104, the starting point of the Short Inca Trail. At this checkpoint, you’ll need to show your original passport and get it stamped if you wish.

After getting ready for the hike, you’ll begin your journey. The trail starts with a visit to the Chacabamba Inca site, which is located at the beginning of the hike. Here, you’ll have a guided tour to learn about its history. Then, you’ll continue walking. The first section involves a gradual uphill climb that lasts for about 3.5 hours. Along the way, there will be several stops where you can enjoy the breathtaking views, take photos, and have some snacks. This part of the trail passes through a cloud forest, where you can spot various exotic flowers, especially orchids, and observe hummingbirds.

As you hike further, you’ll arrive at the incredible Inca site of Wiñay Wayna, often referred to as a small Machu Picchu. You’ll have a guided tour of this remarkable site and some free time to explore and appreciate its uniqueness. Afterward, you’ll enjoy lunch.

Following lunch, you’ll have about an hour of hiking left to reach the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). This gate is exclusive to Inca Trail hikers and provides a spectacular view of Machu Picchu. Typically, you’ll arrive at the Sun Gate around 2 PM, which is a perfect time to enjoy the afternoon views of the citadel and potentially witness the sunset.

From the Sun Gate, you’ll have another hour of gradual downhill hiking until you reach the Machu Picchu citadel itself. The trail leads you directly to the upper part of Machu Picchu, offering the best panoramic views of the archaeological site. You’ll have ample time to enjoy these incredible views, take photos, and explore the area.

Afterward, you’ll take a bus down to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you’ll spend the night. Upon arriving at your hotel, you can freshen up with a shower, and then you’ll have dinner at a local restaurant to conclude your day of adventure.

Today marks the most significant day of your journey. After an early breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your hotel, and together, you’ll take one of the early buses up to Machu Picchu. Once you arrive at Machu Picchu, you’ll have the opportunity to witness and enjoy the sunrise (depending on the season) and capture some of the best photographs of Machu Picchu. You’ll have ample time to explore and revel in the magnificence of this new wonder of the world.

Following this awe-inspiring experience, your guide will commence a walking tour, during which you’ll visit the most important sectors and palaces within Machu Picchu. This guided tour typically lasts around 2.5 hours and will provide you with in-depth insights into the history and significance of each part of Machu Picchu.

After concluding the tour, you’ll have the option to hike the famous Huayna Picchu mountain. The hike takes approximately 2 hours to ascend and descend and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Machu Picchu from a unique perspective. Please note that there is an additional fee of $75 for the Huayna Picchu ticket, and it must be booked in advance due to limited availability.

If you choose not to hike Huayna Picchu, you can spend more time exploring Machu Picchu or simply bid farewell to the lost city of the Incas. You’ll then take a bus down to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you’ll enjoy your final lunch with the group (lunch cost is not included).

In the afternoon, you’ll board the train back to Ollantaytambo. Our driver will be waiting for you at the station to transfer you safely back to Cusco, where you will arrive at your hotel around 8 PM, concluding your memorable Machu Picchu adventure.

It’s going to be an exciting day filled with natural beauty and adventure! Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 4 AM to ensure an early start for the day. The journey will begin with a roughly 3-hour drive to the trailhead, allowing you to enjoy the scenic landscapes along the way.

As you embark on this adventure, you’ll be greeted by the crisp mountain air at an elevation of 4,350 meters (14,271 feet). It’s essential to come prepared with warm clothing due to the high altitude and cold temperatures. After arriving at the trailhead, you’ll have a hearty breakfast to fuel up for the trek. The hike to Rainbow Mountain, known locally as Vinicunca, will take you approximately 2.5 hours to cover a distance of about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles). You’ll gradually ascend to the summit, which stands at an impressive 5,150 meters (16,896 feet) above sea level. At this point, you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring panoramic views and the opportunity to capture stunning photographs of Rainbow Mountain.

After soaking in the breathtaking scenery, you’ll continue your trek to explore the Red Valley, located on the backside of Rainbow Mountain. This valley is characterized by its vibrant red hues and unique geological formations. Your vantage point from the upper part of the valley will provide you with remarkable views. Following this exploration, you’ll retrace your steps and hike back to the starting point, where your driver will be waiting for you. You’ll then embark on a 50-minute drive to reach a local restaurant, where you’ll savor a delicious lunch.

After enjoying your meal and reflecting on the day’s adventure, the journey will conclude with a return to Cusco. You can expect to arrive at your hotel in Cusco at around 5:50 PM, bringing an end to your memorable Rainbow Mountain experience.
