This 2-day tour offers a direct connection to the magic of the Inca Trail, following the same ancient route used by the chasquis (Inca messengers) to reach Machu Picchu. It’s a shorter version, perfect for those who want the trekking experience without committing several days.
On the first day, you’ll embark on a scenic hike starting at Kilometer 104 of the railway, passing archaeological sites like Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna before reaching the breathtaking Sun Gate (Inti Punku), your first glimpse of Machu Picchu. You’ll then descend to Aguas Calientes and spend the night in a hotel.
The next day includes a guided tour of Machu Picchu, where you’ll explore its most iconic structures and soak in the energy of this world wonder.
