INCA TRAIL to Machu Picchu is considered as the most famous trekking route in South America, due to the different elements that offers to the visitor. It begins at the Km 82 of the railway, towards La Convencion Valley.
The natural scenery is impressive, with a remarkable balance between nature and the Inca architectonic work. The presence of the Vilcabamba mountain range (with snow-capped peaks 6.000mts. height and over, such as the Salkantay and Humantay, among others) along with spectacular forests and valleys, create fantasy images where dawns and dusks provide spectacles of greatness and mystery.
Wednesday 14 August 2013 - Day 26 - Phuyupatamarka / Phuyupatamarca (3,650m) - Intipata (2,840m) - Wiñay Wayna (2,650m) - Inti Punku (2,720m) - Machu Picchu (2,400m) - Aguas Calientes (2,040m)
Our last day on the Inca Trail turned out to feature a lot of Inca site sightseeing en route to Inti Punku - the Sun Gate - and Machu Picchu (2,400m) itself.
After breakfast we said farewell to our porters and kitchen crew and tackled the 3000+ stone steps down through the jungly-forest to Intipata, aka Sunny Slope. There we sat on one of the terraces enjoying the view out over the Willkanuta /Urubamba River and, to a lesser extent, the over-zealous attentions of the local llamas.
Next up, the Inca ruins at Wiñay Wayna followed by an early lunch at the adjacent camp before a long, winding section hugging the forested mountain slopes and providing plenty of opportunities to photograph some of the many species of the Wiñay Wayna (Forever Young) orchid, and lots of other flowers too.
A final set of steep stairs brought us to Inti Punku where John and Lonnie were reunited with their wives, and we were all rewarded with the classic views out over the ruins of Machu Picchu.
After making the most of the multiple photo opportunities, we boarded one of the steady stream of buses back to Machu Picchu Pueblo (formerly, and universally still called, Aguas Calientes) (2,040m) - I think the person who wrote KE's trip notes must had one too many cerveza when s/he wrote "This little town has a very special atmosphere...", or perhaps they mean 'special' in the Belgian sense...
Leaving John, Lonnie and Co at their hotel (H and I concluded we were definitely on a second rate package compared to theirs!), Julia led us to (and left us at) our hotel - Inka Town - which turned out to be located right next to the train station. This meant we heard every train horn blast and every PeruRail departure warming up (the last is at 9.30pm, the first at 5.35am) - not ideal after a 4 day trek (coming on top of the Huayhuash too, we were both tired). The hotel staff were lovely, and the room itself fine - but all we really wanted was an undisturbed night's sleep. The complimentary ear plugs in the room weren't reassuring.
Whilst we'd see John and Lonnie tomorrow for our guided tour of Machu Picchu, it was weird being back to the two of us again so abruptly, and not having had celebratory drinks or a group meal to mark the end of the trek.
After a good shower (other than location, Inka Town gets most things right!), Hazel and I headed out to explore the mean streets of Aguas Calientes. Lots of tourists, lots of people wanting you to come into their restaurant/bar/shop. Later on that evening I had a celebratory beer, although Hazel stuck to tea; and our dinner venue proved a poor choice, somewhat lacking in terms of value for money and ambiance... All in all Aguas Calientes proved a bit of a let down.

Pisac âThe area is perhaps best known for its Incan ruins, known as Inca PÃ-sac, which lie atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. The ruins are separated along the ridge into four groups: P'isaqa, Inti Watana, Qalla Q'asa, and Kinchiraqay. Inti Watana group includes the Temple of the Sun, baths, altars, water fountains, a ceremonial platform, and an inti watana, a volcanic outcrop carved into a "hitching post for the Sun" (or Inti). The angles of its base suggest that it served to define the changes of the seasons. Qalla Q'asa, which is built onto a natural spur and overlooks the valley, is known as the citadel.
The Inca constructed agricultural terraces on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet.â Wiki
