This trail offers a great alternative to trekking the full length 4 day , 50 km trail. This easier trek is more suitable for those who have limited time but still want to experience the thrill of hiking down, to Inti Punku (Sun Gate) at sunrise, to appreciate the unforgettable views of Machu Picchu in the distance.
This trail is sometimes referred to as the royal road to the sacred city of Machu Picchu. The trail begins at Km. 104 and on the first day involves a 4 hour scenic hike to the ruins of Wiñay Wayna.
