Short Inca Trail
2 Days | 1 Night
The 2-day Inca Trail is one of the most beautiful treks to Machu Picchu for those who are short on time, but still want the energy of Qhapac Ñan (Inca Trail) and a glimpse of Machu Picchu from the heights of the sun gate. You will walk along 12 kilometers of this alternative Inca trail where you will discover archaeological remains, dense forests, waterfalls, and native flora and fauna, all without the usual crowds along the 4-day trek. The 2-day trek is a generally peaceful hike for those who like quiet and nature.
We will begin the trek at the Cochabamba ruins, walking uphill for 3 hours to the Wiñay Wayna ruins and another two hours to Machu Picchu. After enjoying our first views of Machu Picchu, we descend to the remote town of Aguas Calientes, where we will rest and recharge before our guided tour of Machu Picchu on day 2. If you are short on time and are in good physical condition to do so, you can also choose to complete this entire hike in a single day, completing your hike and exploring Machu Picchu on the same day.
Additionally, if you like you can climb HUAYNA PICCHU or MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN which you have to book in advance and check availability.
