Cusco-KM 104-WiñayWayna-Macchu-Picchu-Cusco

Trip Profile
1 day walking with full assistance; altitude maximum 2700m, (9,000 ft), average 2400m. (8,000 ft) Grade A.

FULL DAY Inca Trail has been created for those who have a limit amount of time but still with a chance to delight visiting Machu Picchu in a challenging way.

In route you can enjoy the magnificent Inca construction of Wiñaywayna consisting on towers, a series of semicircular terraces and houses. After descending from the train at KM-104, you will cross a bridge that leads you on to the starting point. Here begins your walk up into the cloud-forested mountain sides to join the main trail and descend into the Lost City on foot. There are no passes, and only the quite short climb from the Urubamba River to Winay Wayña makes any real physical demands.
Walking at this medium altitude is high enough to make gentle walking uphill, but not high enough to cause severe altitude sickness problems. Underfoot conditions are generally good, and the paths generally well defined.

ESTACION: APRIL TO NOVEMBER
