It is an exciting challenge when we reach Machu Picchu through the Inca trail network that linked the Tahuantinsuyo in the Inca’s time. Our trek begins at kilometer 104 of the railway, passing through the Chachabamba Inca site and Wiñay Huayna Inca site, sun gate, ending the trek at the imposing Inca city Machupicchu ruins.
