Afterwards, we will descend, having lunch halfway down the walk. After lunch, we will continue the trek until we arriv

Day 03: We will wake up around 7:00am, to enjoy a delicious breakfast which our cooks will have prepared for us. Having had breakfast, we will continue the trek. This will be a special day because we will visit the archaeological sites of RUNCURACAY, SAYACMARCA and PHUYUPATAMARCA. Along the way, we will have a lunch break. Our third campsite will be in either PHUYUPATAMARCA or WIÑAYWAYNA. (This is subject to the number of spaces available in the reservation office of INRENA).

The walk to PHUYUPATAMARCA lasts approximately 6-7 hours. If the overnight stay is WIÑAYWAYNA, from PHUYUPATAMARCA the section of trek will be approximately 3 hours.

Day 04: We will wake up in the early hours, between 3 and 4 am. After breakfast, we will begin our last section of the walk, arriving at INTIPUNCU (SUN GATE). From here, we will catch our first glimpse of the impressive MACHUPICCHU arriving between 7 and 8am. We will have a short rest before then entering the sacred site and having our guided tour of approximately 2 hours. The tourist will have enough time to enjoy the beauty and mystery of MACHUPICCHU.
