1-day Inca Trail
Full day
Grade:Moderate.
Highlight: Archaeology, scenery
Distance Covered: 7 Km or 4.35 mi.
Max. Altitude: 2,800m or 9,186 ft
For those wanting to approach Machu
Picchu by foot, and not with the usual crowds approaching
this magic site by train
and bus, this is the perfect option. You get off the train half
an hour before arriving in Aguas Calientes (the station that serves
Machu Picchu). A total of 5 hours of hiking until you reach the
ruins. Most of the way is uphill and with a fair number of precipices.
You will visit the fabulous ruins of Winay Wayna,
a stunning Inca site only second to Machu Picchu which is approachable
only on foot when doing the Inca Trail.
