The trail starts at 2,720 m / 8,923 ft and we will cross the Vilcanota River on the right side. But the path soon begins to incline steeply through the cloud forest. In time you will see the great views of an Inca fortress called 'Huillca Raccay as well as the vast and incredible Inca site of 'Llactapata'. Also, we will see the Urubamba mountain range that divides the jungle, the Andes, and the beautiful snow-capped 'W'akay Willca' at 5,860 m / 19,225 feet, known as Verónica. There was so much beauty to admire on this first day of the 4-day Inca Trail trek, an incredible encounter with Andean nature. We will now establish our first camp which is 2 hours from the small town of Wayllabamba 3300m/10,826ft in the temperate valley of the same name.

The Inca was the son of 'Inti' (The Sun) and only he was allowed to do this path since it was his way to glory among the Apus and to enjoy his royal house, Machu Picchu. Now you too have become part of Royalty or you feel like it since you have mixed with the Apus on this spiritual path. Thus, after completing the Inca Trail, things will no longer be the same. The total distance to travel is 5 km (about 2 hours). It's time to get up, have an early breakfast, and get back on track. On this early start, we have to reach 'Intipunku' ('Puerta del Sol') (2,730 m / 8,792 ft) before sunrise. You will get your first great view of Machu Picchu (2400m/7873ft) with the sun rising over it. We will spend some time there taking an impressive tour of the ancient city. We will walk the last part of the way to a place where you can take a classic postcard photo of this Inca citadel. A moment that makes every step of the trail worthwhile. Depending on the weather, we’ll rest here for 15 to 30 minutes, soaking in the silence, the scenery, and the sense of awe that fills the air at sunrise. From there, we begin our one-hour descent, walking in the footsteps of the Inca along Circuit 1-B, also called the Panoramic Terrace Route, which is the upper section of the archaeological site. This circuit leads us to the main viewpoint, the picture-perfect perch where travelers and trekkers can take their iconic postcard shot of Machu Picchu. Afterward, we will continue descending to Aguas Calientes, where a bus (included in the tour) awaits. Lunch will be in this town (not included), and your guide will provide your return train tickets to Cusco. Our car will be waiting at the train station to transfer you back you your Cusco hotel. If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to this magnificent Inca Citadel, or if you would like to climb the Huayna Picchu Mountain / Machu Picchu Mountain, you may re-enter Machu Picchu to do so.
