The Inca trail to Machu Picchu is surrounded by wonderful views of snow-capped mountains, ponds, ravines and the beginning of the jungle, it is crossing the high lands over 3000 meters (9840ft) up to 4215 meters (11820ft) and lays down to the cloud forest passing by restored inca's sites toward Machu Picchu.
Two beautiful green lakes are seen along the way. The biggest lake, Chaquacha, feeds the smaller one by an underground river.
