The first archeological site to visit is Chachabamba. Then we continue through a mixture of cactus vegetation and a cloud forest to another significant Inca site: Wiñayhuayna. But before arriving, we enjoy the freshness of a local waterfall. Where you have lunch and rest. Later, we can admire the sunset over Machu Picchu when we arrive at the ‘Inti Punku’ (Sun Gate) before entering to Machu Picchu. However, today is too late to have a guided tour of this overwhelming Inca city, so we slowly descend to the town of Aguas Calientes enjoying the beautiful surrounding landscape along the way. We spend the night in a comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes.
