This hike takes more time to do the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, leaving more time to appreciate the nature and archaeology along the way. We spend one long fourth day visiting Winaywayna and Machu Picchu, and on the fifth day return to Machu Picchu to see the sunrise from the Sun´s Gate. We encounter valleys that contain wildlife endemic to high deserts or the tropics, between stretches of puna and cloud forest. We encounter mysterious archaeological sites half covered by jungle overgrowth, which look like you are discovering them for the first time. Machu Picchu is one of the world´s greatest cultural treasures, and of these is the most enigmatic.
