We will wake up, at 4:00 am, in order to start trekking up the mountain to Machu Picchu in time to catch the sunrise at the top. It will take approximately 1hour and 20 minutes (or by the bus up 20 minutes).  Also you have the option to buy your bus ticket one night before if you don’t want this at the last minute.  When we first arrive, our guide will take us on a 2 hour  tour around the ruins, enlightening us about the ancient City that was once so vibrantly  alive, and enriching us with the Inca history.  There is much information that our guide can teach us, about all that we have learned about citadel so far.

After the guided portion of the tour, you will have some free time to explore the ruins by your self.  If you want to climb Huayna Picchu, a very popular climb with spectacular views,  we recommend you to book preferably three months beforehand. (There is daily limit of  400 persons per day allowed to climb, so pre-book if you don’t want to miss out. Cost: $25)  The round trip walking to the peak of Huayna Picchu is about an hour and a half. It is definitely worth it for the stunning views from the top!  As an alternative to the Huayna Picchu climb you can choose to visit Machu Picchu Mountain which gives the ancient Inca townsite its name. This is a new option that lets you see Machu Picchu archeological site from the highest peak. It is less crowded so you don’t have to book early. Cost: $20)

You will need to descend to Aguas Calientes in time  to catch the train back to Ollantaytambo.
