After lunch, we will enjoy a guided tour of the ruins. Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, was a flourishing ceremonial and agricultural site, probably the gateway to the jungle marches of the Inca Empire. The central buildings were erected with the polished stone works of the Cuzco Imperial style, though the site was probably occupied well before the Incas started their expansion. It was associated with the earth cult revolving around the Coca leaf, which was a privilege of the Inca Royal family and priests. Typical English afternoon tea will be served at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge. Dinner at the Sanctuary Lodge.

We will go through the ruins up to the Inti Punku or Sungate, along the last part of the Inca Trail to the ruins of Wi±ay Wayna. This fantastic site, located on a steep ledge overlooking the Urubamba River, offers a perfect example of Inca terrace farming. The name Wi±ay Wayna means “forever young,” and this complex is believed to have been reserved for ceremonies and religious water rites. Early evening, return to Cuzco by Hiram Bingham Train.
