   We drop off at the Pukamarka (lunch) settlement and spend time visiting the Inca ruins. From there, we travel the old Inca path into Huchuy Qosqo, Inca city. We have time to tour the city, then head to the comunity of Lamay. We walk about 2 hours all the down into the Sacred Valley.

Day 2: Inca Trail - Sungate - Machu Picchu

1. Ollantaytambo
   15m
   We make our way to the train station where we will enjoy a pleasant ride to the head trail.
2. 3h · Admission ticket included
   Stop at KM 104. The old Inca path starts in the lovely cloud forest amid the Andean mountains.
   Chachabamba, a little archeological structure thought to have formerly been a guard house for Machu Picchu and a tiny offering place before entering Machupicchu citadel, is the first Inca site. The trail then climbs gradually for around three hours until you reach 8,690 feet (2,650 meters). You will pass a stunning waterfall on your way; keep going to see Wiñay Wayna, which translates in Indigenous Quechua language as "forever young."
3. 2h · Admission ticket included
   On the Inca Trail, Wiñay Wayna is regarded as the most exquisite and best-kept Incan site. It was only discovered seventy years ago.
   Following your tour and exploration of Wiñaywayna and lunch, you will travel on level ground for almost 1.5 hours to the "Sun Gate," from which Machu Picchu is clearly and grandly seen.
4. Inti Punku Sun Gate

3. Temple of the Sun
