One day hike on Royal Inca Trail (1 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu) starts idyllic with a wake-up early.
Then we are taken by our private transport to the railway station at Ollantaytambo to board a train taking us to the starting head trail – so-called Km 104.
Then we pass through an Inca Trail checking point and start hiking through the lush vegetation of a cloud forest while greeted by local exotic birds such as Andean guan, grey-breasted mountain tucan, etc. and since we can see various wild orchids and bromeliads along the path too.
Our Tour Guide explains to us about the Chachabamba ruins that were rediscovered in 1940. Lunch. Our next stop is in Wiñay Wayna, an Inca complex neighboring Machu Picchu. The complex, which name means “Eternal Youth, can boost with a stunning view down at the Urubamba River. In the late afternoon, we descended to the entrance of Machu Picchu – Inti Punku (Sun´s Gate). Then we enter the “Lost City of the Incas” and enjoy its guided tour for 2 hrs.
After you will take the bus down to Aguas Calientes town, where you will take the train to return to Ollantaytambo, there our driver will take you to Cusco.

Hiking pants and T-shirts are recommended during the day, complemented by sweaters, fleeces, and waterproof jackets. It is very convenient to have light rain gear available in the daypack (rain poncho or jacket and/or rain pants) as the weather changes easily and rains can suddenly occur. During the first day (if sunny) and on the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, convertible hiking pants are useful, as can be switched into shorts if necessary. Machu Picchu has a warm climate, getting only cold at night. The rest of the necessary implements are included in the “What we recommend that you bring” list.
