ITINERARY DETAILS

You will be greeted at your hotel at 5:40 am and taken to 88 kilometers on the rail line to begin the hike at 9 AM. The walk will begin leisurely to ensure you are acclimated to the pace and elevation. First, we will reach the archaeological complex of Patallaqta (2.550 m.).

Next, continue until we reach Inti Punku or la Puerta del Sol (Sun Gate) around sunrise. From here you will get your first perspective of many of the sublime magnificence that is the citadel of Machu Picchu.
