For people with little time to spare, this is a good alternative to get to know at least part of the famous Inca trail to MachuPicchu. We begin our trek at a moderate altitude of 2,500 meters, going though a tropical rainforest and also the magnificent ancient ruins of Winay Wayna (¨Forever Young¨). Late in the afternoon, we will arrive to the Inti Punku (¨Gates of the Sun¨), the original entry to the mysterious ¨Lost City of the Incas¨, MachuPicchu.
