The second day, you will have an exciting whitewater raft down the Urubamba, an Andean river.
The next four days are spent trekking and camping on the Inca trail. On the last day of the
Machu Picchu trek, you will approach Machu Picchu during sunrise.

This is a little know festival to celebrate young men coming of age in the Inca tradition. It is like the Olympics of the Inca with pageantry, fighting and music.
Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Inca was found in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. The site was called Machu Picchu, perhaps the most famous ruin in the world.
