Day 2 Train to Machu Picchu
(B) Follow the Urubamba River as it tumbles its way towards the Amazon and the sacred city of Machu Picchu. Ancient canals still bring water from the high mountains to the baths used by Inca priests, and as visitors we're welcome to respectfully dip our hands in the cool water. Explore Machu Picchu with your guide. After our tour of the Machu Picchu, we return to Aguas Calientes to soak in the hot springs and dine on local trout fillets.
Day 3 Machu Picchu Free Day
(B) Today is our chance to watch the sunrise at Machu Picchu and to listen to the spirits of the city's past inhabitants before the hikers from the Inca Trail arrive. Later you can climb the sacred peak of Huayna Picchu or take a walk through the lush cloudforest to the Temple of the Moon. There is not guide service on this day.
