The early start is rewarded by the most beautiful views passing by this picturesque village of chinchero, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo for 2 ½ hours to the start point km 82 Piscacucho.our bus normally stop at a café /restaurant just before the town of Ollantaytambo in the sacred valley for about 30 minutes or so to give people the opportunity to have breakfast. You can also buy bottled water and snack here although it is probably cheaper to bring from cusco.to avoid congestion buses are no longer permitted to stop in the village of ollantaytambo. Having arrive at km82 at around mid-morning hiker cross the vilcanota River and follow the trail to the right as is climbs steeply up from the river. After passing through a small village, the ruins of the Inka Hillfort of huillca Raccay come into view high above the mouth of the River Cusichaca (happy bridge). from this point we will have spectacular views of the Llactapata ruins, which was a check point of the Inca trail approach to Machu Picchu.over view of the History of the Inca trail.

This is the last place along the trek that you can buy snacks and drinks.
