Day 1:

• On the day of the tour, between 4:40 and 5 am, we will pick you up from your tourist hotel in Cusco to transfer you by tourist transport to the Wánchaq train station, located in the same city.
• In Wánchaq we will board the Peru Rail ‘Bimodal’ bus service, which will take us for 1 hour 40 minutes to the train station in the town of Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
• Once in the town of Aguas Calientes we will have a few free minutes to have breakfast on our own (not included in the tour). Then, always together with our tour guide, we will board the ‘Expedition’ tourist train to travel, for 1 hour 15 minutes, to kilometer 104 of the train track that leads to Machu Picchu.
• At kilometer 104 the walk begins. Together with the whole group we will get ready to start the 13-kilometre route on ascending, flat and descending paths. After registering at the control point, a short walk is made to arrive at the archaeological site of Chachabamba.
• The tour guide will explain details of this Inca citadel. Then we will continue the hike for a section uphill through impressive tropical mountains until we arrive at the archaeological site of Wiñayhuayna.
• In Wiñayhuayna the guide will give us information about this Inca citadel, which bears a resemblance to Machu Picchu. There we will have free time to enjoy the box lunch included in the tour.
• After lunch and the visit to the Wiñayhuayna, the walk continues through flat sections until arriving at the Puerta del Sol, the Intipunku or entrance door to the Inca citadel in Inca times. From there you have the first view of Machu Picchu, an unforgettable memory.
• After reaching the Intipunku, descend to Machu Picchu. There is an opportunity to get the classic photo at sunset, a precise moment to get magical shots. Then we will leave the Inca citadel to descend to Aguas Calientes. Optionally, the tourist can buy the bus ticket for that last stretch of 10 kilometers downhill.

• In the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu we will follow Circuit 2, the most complete and recommended because it includes a visit to most of the temples and stone buildings. The circuit also includes the classic postcard photo of Machupicchu from the House of the Guardian.

• Altitude sickness or soroche is a natural discomfort felt by visitors in Cusco, a city located 3,399 meters above sea level. The symptoms are caused by the altitude that causes the organism to adapt to the low oxygen of high-altitude geographies.
• To reduce the symptoms of altitude sickness, it is recommended to take coca leaf infusions (a natural plant used by the Incas) is an excellent option. In any case, the organism adapts better to the geography of Cusco on the first or second day of adaptation.
