Early in the morning we will have breakfast and get ready to continue along the trail, climbing for approximately 4 hours (10km), to the peak of Warmiwañusca (4200mt). From here we will observe a variety of ecosystems ranging from the dry puna (mountain pastures) to the high jungle. After lunch, around 2:00 pm, we will descend for 3 hours (9km) to the Pacaymayo Valley. We'll cross wooden bridges, through tunnels that make our way up and down rocky stairs. We'll set up camp near the river and have our dinner.

If booked at least 6 months in advance, we will have the opportunity to set up our camp there and then our dinner will be served around 7:00 pm. If there is no possibility of staying in Wiñayhuayna, we will camp in Puyapatamarka.

Day 4: WIÑAYHUAYNA – MACHU PICCHU – AGUAS CALIENTES – CUSCO

We got ready around 5:00 am and after breakfast we walked for 1 hour up through the high jungle to Inti Punku, “The Gate of the Sun”. This is an alternative access to Machu Picchu, and you will have impressive views of the entire archaeological wonder. Upon arrival at Machu Picchu, we have a 2-hour guided tour, visiting the main sites and later, you will have some free time to explore. In the late afternoon, we'll walk down to Aguas Calientes where we'll all meet at the train station 30 minutes before departure to Ollantaytambo where our private bus will take us back to Cusco.
