Day 1: Cusco - KM 104 (Chachabamba) - Machu Picchu - Aguas Calientes
We leave the hotel at 5:50 o´clock and go to the train station. There, we take the train from Cusco to Chachabamba at km 104, where our hiking tour will start. Here we can already see our first archaeological highlight, which is called Chachabamba as well. According to the chronicles, this place was a temple dedicated to the Water God.

Afterwards, we start climbing the mountain and 3 hours later, we reach the sight Wiñayhuayna. We visit this archaeological excavation, which was discovered in 1942 by the Peruvian archaeologist Julio C. Tello. He gave this site the name of Wiñayhuayna, which means orchid (epidrendrum secundus). It is a beautiful Inca building, located in the Vilcabamba cordillera. According to different chronicles, this place is called “little Machu Picchu” because of its similarities with the famous Inca citadel.

10 minutes later, we reach our base camp. After lunch, we go to the viewpoint "Intipunku” ("Puerta del Sol")". On our way, we see a great diversity of plants: orchids, ferns, begonias, moss, and bamboo... After an hour of walking, we reach the “Puerta del Sol”, one of the most impressive viewpoints of Machu Picchu. The archaeological site is located a kilometre away. After having rested and taken pictures, we go down to the bus station of the Machu Picchu to take the bus to Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel.
