Day 6: Arrive at Machu Picchu

Today marks our final day of hiking. We will take a visit to "Inti Punku" ("Sun Gate") 2370m/8792ft before sunrise to finally get our first dramatic view of Machu Picchu from 2400m/7873ft with the sun rising over it! From the trail there will be a chance to take the famous postcard photograph of Machu Picchu. Next we will begin a walking tour (2 hours) of Machu Picchu with a guide. There will be an optional climb of Huayna Picchu 2720m/8923ft (45 minutes). After the tour concludes you are free to wander around the stunning site before returning by bus or foot to Aguas Calientes. From there we will take the scenic train ride back to Cusco. (B)
