Our trek today takes us along the most wonderful stretch of the Classic Inca Trail 4 Days. We’ll visit beautiful Inca sites, see a variety of flora and fauna, and get to take in the stunning panoramas of the Andes. Walking 10km of the trail our hike begins in the Sacred Valley and works its way up along a paved Inca trail to the archeological site of Winay Wayna before continuing on to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). After visiting Wiñay Wayna, we will have our box lunch.

After enjoying our meal. we’ll hike through the lush and green cloud forest that covers the mountain and get to see a wide variety of plants, flowers, orchids, and birds along the way.

After a full day of hiking, we’ll arrive at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) in the afternoon, where we’ll have our first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu nestled on the mountain ridge below. After passing through the Sun Gate, we’ll continue hiking for about 45 minutes to reach Machu Picchu. Once there, we’ll explore the upper section of Machu Picchu, stopping at three scenic viewpoints to capture iconic photos of the site. The advantage is that these spots are usually less crowded, allowing for a more peaceful experience.
