El CAMINO INCA MACHU PICCHU o tradicional tiene 40 kilómetros de distancia y 4 días de caminata (18 a 24 horas aproximado). La ruta lo llevará por montañas, hasta arribar a Machu Picchu en la ceja de selva amazónica del Perú.
Algunos datos sobre el recorrido por el Camino Inca:
La ruta atraviesa recintos arqueológicos como Llactapata, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca y Wiñaywayna.
El final del camino es el ingreso a Machu Picchu por el Intipunku (Puerta del Sol). Esa era la puerta principal en tiempo de los incas. El paisaje allí es increíble.
En la mayoría de los casos, luego de recorrer el Camino Inca, volverá a Cusco en tren.
Algunas personas deciden quedarse a relajarse en los baños termales de Aguas Calientes para volver a Cusco al día siguiente.
🌎Más grande que Machu Pichu

Arqueólogos han estimado que sólo un 40% de la ciudad ha sido expuesta, con diversos proyectos gubernamentales en camino para exprimir su potencial turístico⭐.

Ademas de Visitar el “VALLE SAGRADO”, también podremos realizar el “CAMINO INCA CORTO”, para visitar “MACHUPICCHU”, conoceremos el Valle Sagrado, zona agrícola inca por excelencia, un lugar privilegiado por su abundante agua y sus tierras fértiles, considerado como la despensa de alimentos más importante en la región del Cusco desde tiempos incas.
Realizamos la Travesía del “Camino Inca Corto” para llegar a“Machu Picchu” y también el “Centro de Experimentación Agrícola Inca y las Espectaculares Salineras de Maras”
Separated into three areas - agricultural, urban, and religious - the structures are arranged so that the function of the buildings matches the form of their surroundings. The agricultural terracing and aqueducts take advantage of the natural slopes; the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located at the crest of the hill, overlooking the lush Urubamba Valley thousands of feet below.
Sacsayhuaman or Saksaq Waman is an ancient stone wall complex near the Cusco city of Peru. According to natives, the meaning of Sacsayhuaman is “House of the Sun”. It looks like a fortress and many people have firm belief upon its historic value. Today, Peruvians celebrate Inti Raymi, the annual Inca festival of the winter solstice and new year. It is held near Sacsayhuamán on 24 June. Some Cusqueños use the large field within the walls of the complex for jogging, t'ai chi, and other athletic activities.
Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical. Glancing out from the Funerary Rock Hut on all the temples, fields, terraces, and baths seems to take you to another time. Blending in with the hillside itself, many say the area creates a seamless and elegant green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.

This was captured from a moving tour bus. Couldn't help not capturing those beautiful clouds as the sun rays shower the valley.
The valley was appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the empire's main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and one of the most important areas for maize production in Peru northwards from Pisac.
🗽 Exploring and visiting the top of the rainbow mountain of Vinicunca in Cusco, Peru

One of the most fantastic tourist attractions is the rainbow mountain in Cusco, Peru. Vinicunca is located south of Cusco on the slopes of the snowy Ausangate. A full day is required to visit the tourist area; there is the option to walk along the marked trail or ride a horse to save energy and ascend the last section for about 18 minutes. And thus reach the top to appreciate the rainbow mountain in all its splendor, along with the mountain range of the Colorado valley, the snowy Ausangate, the Andes Mountain range with the beautiful alpacas grazing in the area.

Machu Picchu (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmatʃu ˈpiktʃu], Quechua: Machu Picchu [ˈmɑtʃu ˈpixtʃu], "Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as the "City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.
The best-known zone of Sacsayhuaman includes its great plaza and its adjacent three massive terrace walls. The stones used in the construction of these terraces are among the largest used in any building in prehispanic America and display a precision of fitting that is unmatched in the Americas.
The view from the restroom window of the last cabin. As the train navigates this turn, a good glimpse of the whole train and the scenery was possible. The Cusco to Machu Picchu route, Ferrocarril Santa Ana, boasts a series of five switchbacks called locally 'El Zig-Zag', which enable the train to climb up the steep incline out of Cusco before it can begin its descent to the Sacred Valley and then continue down to Machu Picchu. However, this section of the route is currently suspended, and all trains to Machu Picchu leave from Poroy, just outside Cusco, instead.

Sacsayhuamán (also known as Saksaq Waman, Sacsahuaman or Saxahuaman) is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The complex is as many other Inca constructions made of large polished dry stone walls, each boulder carefully cut to fit together tightly without mortar.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas or Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes of Peru, close to the Inca capital of Cusco and below the ancient sacred city of Machu Picchu. It is located in the modern Peruvian region of Cusco. In colonial documents it is referred to as the "Valley of Yucay", according to recent researches it encompasses the heartland of the Inca Empire.
The valley is generally understood to include everything between Calca and Lamay, Písac, and Ollantaytambo, it has been formed by the Urubamba River, also known as Vilcanota River or Wilcamayu.
Chinchero is a small Andean Indian village located high up on the windswept plains of Anta at 3762m about 30km from Cusco. There are beautiful views overlooking the Sacred Valley of the Incas, with the Cordillera Vilcabamba and the snow-capped peak of Salkantay dominating the western horizon. Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow. Its major claim to tourism is its colourful Sunday market which is much less tourist-orientated than the market at Pisac.
Because of its location high above Cuzco and its immense terrace walls, this area of Sacsayhuaman is frequently referred to as a fortress. The importance of its military functions was highlighted in 1536 when Manco Inca lay siege to Cuzco.
Although Bingham was the first person to bring word of the ruins to the outside world, previous outsiders were said to have seen them. Simone Waisbard, a long-time researcher of Cusco, claims that Enrique Palma, Gabino Sánchez, and Agustín Lizárraga left their names engraved on one of the rocks at Machu Picchu on 14 July 1901. In 1904, an engineer named Franklin supposedly spotted the ruins from a distant mountain. He told Thomas Payne, an English Christian missionary living in the region, about the site, Payne's family members claim. They also report that in 1906, Payne and fellow missionary Stuart E. McNairn (1867–1956) climbed up to the ruins.
7,000 feet above sea level and nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in 1911. Archaeologists estimate that approximately 1200 people could have lived in the area, though many theorize it was most likely a retreat for Incan rulers. Due to it’s isolation from the rest of Peru, living in the area full time would require traveling great distances just to reach the nearest village.
Bingham started archaeological studies and completed a survey of the area. He called the complex "The Lost City of the Incas", which was the title of his first book. Bingham made several more trips and conducted excavations on the site through 1915, collecting various artifacts which he took back to Yale. He wrote a number of books and articles about the discovery of Machu Picchu.
As Bingham's excavations took place on Machu Picchu, local intellectuals began to oppose the operation of Bingham and his team of explorers. Though local institutions were initially enthused at the idea of the operation supplementing Peruvian knowledge about their ancestry, the team began to encounter accusations of legal and cultural malpractice.
