On the first day of the tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Cusco at the designated time, and we'll set off by minibus to Ollantaytambo Railway Station to catch the train to Kilometre 104, one of the most famous spots to start the short Inca Trail.
We'll hike up to Chachabamba and Wiñayhuayna, one of the most important archaeological complexes on the Inca Trail. After a break to enjoy a picnic lunch, we'll continue the hike toward Inti Punku, also known as The Sun Gate.

After the tour, you'll have free time to explore the ancient site at your leisure, or to visit Huayna Picchu mountain.
We'll then catch the bus back to Aguas Calientes, where you'll have free time to eat and stroll around the town. In the afternoon, we'll meet back up to take the train back to Ollantaytambo.
