This morning we will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the train station. The train will first climb out of the city over the mountain known as Picchu, before descending into the Sacred Valley of the Inkas, where we will see fertile fields and the impressive Vilcanota Mountains, as well as the beautiful Urubamba River, which will accompany us during the rest of the trip. After arriving at Km. 104, where our hike begins, we will visit the archaeological site of Chachabamba (2100m/6,888 feet) and then begin the ascent of the mountain with the great Vilcanota Canyon below us. After passing a lovely waterfall we will visit the impressive Inca site of Wiñaywayna (2700m/8856 feet). After lunch we continue to the Sun Gate, or Inti Punku, where we will have our first view of the great citadel Machupicchu (2400m/7,872 feet). This afternoon we will simply pass through Machupicchu, because we will be returning the next day for a guided visit of the ruins.
