nights
Description
Four days of hiking on the Inca trail to
Machupicchu (the Incas Royal Road to Machu
Picchu), the lost city of the Incas.
At dawn on the fourth day we will pass through
the Intipunku, the dramatic ridge top "Gateway
to the Sun." The first glimpse of Machu Picchu
is a stunning, dramatic overview of one of the
world's greatest cultural treasures.
Numerous other Inca cities, along the rouse now
archarlogical com plexes,help us understand
Machu Picchu in the economic, social, and
military context it had for its citizens. We
pass among wheat-coloured high mountains, under
stunning Mount Salkantay and her glaciers, and
through the richly diverse forests in the
interstitial niches between jungle and highland.
