This day starts picking you up from your respective hotel, we normally start at 4:00 in the morning, our private transport is in charge to drive you until Ollantaytambo, a small town where the train station is located, we catch one of the first train on the way to Aguas Calientes but our stop has to be at Chachabamba – Km 104 of the railway, there is where we start the hike, 9 miles is the total distance that we cover during this day, the end of the Inca Trail is Machupichu but a previous view at the Sun Gate makes to stay there for a while, enjoying the amazing landscape of Machupicchu and surroundings.
The visit at Machupicchu Inca Site is not for a long time, since the day 2 is organized for that, after taking some pictures of the citadel, we catch one of the bus which goes to Aguas Calientes, it take 30 minutes driving, a very nice and warm hotel awaits for our staying there.
The first day ends having a peruvian dinner where stories and laughs are shared meanwhile.
