We provide you your packed lunch, energy drinks and take a group photo before visiting our first Inca site here.If we have clear weather we´ll have tremendous views of Machu Picchu, the Urubamba River and other surrounding Inca Sites

Admission Not Applicable

Winay Wayna

After hiking for 3 hours, we will reach the most beautiful Incan site on the Inca Trail – Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young) at 2600m/8500ft. This is a wonderful Incan site that not many people get to see. There is an elaborate water fountain, temples and some agricultural terraces which provide a perfect opportunity to learn more about the way of the Incans and their history. The backdrop of this site truly has to be seen to be believed, seemingly dropping off a cliff face with dramatic and beautiful mountains surrounding you, it really gives a picture of the importance of location to the Incas

Admission Not Applicable

Machu Picchu

From Wiñay Wayna, we walk to the Sun Gate, from where we see the picturesque landscape of Machu Picchu below. After taking in the once-in-a-lifetime views and capturing your photos, we begin our descent to Machu Picchu for sunset. One of the biggest advantages of this hike is that by the time we reach Machu Picchu later in the afternoon, most of the day travelers will have returned home, and you will have it almost to yourself. After taking photos, we take the bus down to Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel.

This journey has truly been a highlight of my life! While the first day presented its challenges, especially for those of us who may not be as physically conditioned (me), the awe-inspiring views made every step worthwhile. Herbert, aka "HERBERT FOREVER💯," was an absolute gem of a guide! Not only did he lend a hand with my day pack during the trek, but he also captured numerous moments of our expedition through his lens. His warmth and wealth of knowledge enriched our experience as he shared stories steeped in passion for the history and culture surrounding us. The accommodations was quaint and cozy, and the food provided was simply delightful. On the second day, we ventured to Huchuy Picchu mountain for a brief yet rewarding ascent, with the tour group displaying exceptional flexibility and Herbert leading the way with his expertise. I wholeheartedly endorse this tour for anyone considering a visit to Machu Picchu. It truly exceeded all expectations!
So cool

Without Heber the guide our one day Machu Picchu Inca trail would have been impossible! He set the pace when needed, and adjusted to ours when we struggled. It started raining mid way and he was extra careful, holding our hand through the particularly trecherous parts. He was knowledgible about the history abd patiently and enthusiastically answered all our questions. The tour was excellent, we’re glad we chose this tour.
Herbert was excellent as a guide for the 2 day Machu Pichu hike. His explanations were great and we enjoyed the trip.

We were on a cruise and got off the ship in Pisco. A driver was there to pick all 7 of us up. He drove us to the airport in Lima where we took a plane to Cusco. Our boarding passes had been e-mailed to us by Jim Turner of Amazing Voyages Ltd. We were picked up from the airport by Sam Travel. All our tickets, transports and hotel were arranged. Our guide was David who went above and beyond expectations. We arrived at our ship in Lima in good time
