There are many ways to get to Machu Picchu, but not like the Inca Trail, one of the most famous hiking trails in the world. Get ready to have the adventure of your life walking through cloud forests, ascending stone steps beautifully built, discovering archaeological sites as only as impressive and enjoying majestic views. After 12 kilometers walking, the reward arrives: the wonderful view of Machu Picchu from the Inti Punku. This route is an unforgettable experience that will be recorded in you forever. Wiñaywayna: Dizzying Inca site with houses on agricultural terraces. Machu Picchu: The "lost city of the Incas" is the reason why thousands of people arrive in Peru. Hidden among the vegetation, get closer to our past through its rooms, temples, bridges and religious sites, built in communion with the landscape that surrounds them. Maximum altitude: Inti Punku 8930 feet / 2722 m s.n.m. Important Information about the New Entrance Regulations to Machu Picchu The current restrictions on visits to Machu Picchu allow a maximum stay of 4 hours in the citadel accompanied by a guide during the first entry. If the visitor tours an alternate route (Mountain Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu) the passenger will have 3 hours to for this purpose, additional to the 4 hours in the citadel. If the passenger wishes to enter the citadel again during the afternoon shift or the next day, he must acquire previously an additional ticket to enter in the new shift. There is no ticket sale in the archaeological zone. It is forbidden the follow objects: professional cameras that require lights and tripods, or with telephoto lenses with a weigh higher than 2 kilos (in order to use them, special authorization is needed, as well as the payment of an additional fee), drones, selfie sticks, sprays, high heels, walking sticks without rubber tip, banners and posters, sharp objects and backpacks bigger than 40cm x 35 cm x 20 cm. Weather in the region is extremely variable and we suggest you to pack for a variety of conditions. In addition, our trek passes through various bio-zones ranging from high altitude alpine conditions to high jungle. During a sunny day you can expect temperatures of about 18–27°C (65–80°F), however, on the pass the weather is very unpredictable and temperatures can drop to 0°C (30°F) during the day (but you won’t spend a lot of time up there). At nights, temperatures vary from 05 - 10º C to 0°C or below. Expect a mixture of terrain from the highlands to the cloud forest. Most of the road is rocky, passing through steep parts and downs, surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. If you are prone to altitude sickness, please see a doctor to get a prescription for altitude pills before you go.
