Upon arrival to the ruins, you will be given a guided visit of Machu Picchu for about 2 hours. There are many theories as to the origins of Machu Picchu but three of the most popular ideas include a temple to the sun, a fortress against the jungle inhabitants or a sanctuary for the Incas. This beautiful city has houses, temples, warehouses, a large central square, all connected by narrow roads and steps, and is surrounded by terraces cut into the mountain side which were used for agriculture. After the tour, free time to enjoy this magical and spiritual wonder.

Day 5: COCHA PERDIDA (LOST LAKE)
After breakfast, we set forth through the virgin jungle led by the professional guide. Todays hike will take you to the Cocha Perdida. This site effectively constitutes a unique protected Ecosystem, refuge, and Feeding ground for the great diversity of wildlife including the Otter, Turtles, Alligators, Tapir, and Jaguar. There are also many birds with striking plumage as well as an ample variety of species of fish.
This area is and distinctly particular to EcoAmazonia Reserve, by virtue of having remained altogether unaltered, and conveniently surrounded by lard swamps and wetlands. One of the highlights of today’s tour is certainly the ascent to the Mirador built atop the the greatest of treetops in the Amazon forest, the revered Shihauhuaco from where a grand view of the great and magical forest can be admired. This is complimented by a pleasant canoe ride around the lake, after which we return to the lodge and lunch.
