OVERVIEW
Step into the footprints of history with our immersive 2-day Inca Trail trek, which takes you from the vibrant city of Cusco through the heart of the ancient Inca civilization to the world-renowned ruins of Machu Picchu. This condensed version of the classic Inca Trail is perfectly crafted for those who wish to experience the magic and mystery of Peru’s most famous archaeological sites but have limited time.
The adventure begins early from Cusco, as you embark on a scenic train ride to Km 104, the starting point of your trek. From there, the path takes you through lush, sub-tropical landscapes and past significant Incan sites like the beautiful Wiñay Wayna, an intricate terraced Incan ruin that showcases the architectural genius of the ancient builders. As you hike, you’ll be surrounded by stunning views of the Andes, rich with diverse flora and fauna, setting the stage for the spectacular entrance to Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate in the late afternoon.
After spending the night in the nearby town of Aguas Calientes, where you can relax and reflect on the day’s journey, day two promises an early morning start aimed at exploring Machu Picchu. You will have ample time to wander through its ruins, marvel at the precision of Incan stonework, and learn about the historical significance of the site from your knowledgeable guide. This awe-inspiring tour not only offers a deep dive into the ancient culture but also provides spectacular panoramic views that promise to enchant.
This 2-day Inca Trail with camping is an exhilarating alternative to the longer treks, offering the same majestic vistas and cultural insights into the Incan world in a shorter, manageable format. Whether you’re an avid historian, an adventure seeker, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this trek is designed to deliver a memorable and profound experience.
Tour Details
Day 1: Cusco – Km. 104 – Wiñayhuayna – Aguas Calientes:
At 4:30 in the morning we will pick you up from your hotel, from where we will head in our own transport to the train station in the small town of Ollantaytambo. From the station, we will take the train as far as Km. 104, where our Inca Trail adventure will begin. During the route, we will be able to enjoy beautiful scenery. Our walk will begin with the check at the control point, where we must show all the necessary permits and our passports, before beginning the ascent along beautiful trails, where we can appreciate beautiful orchids. The route will continue with a visit to Wiñayhuayna (“Always young”). Some experts believe this was the house of Machu Picchu’s ancient priests. During the route, we will enjoy fantastic views, including the majestic Urubamba River and the high cloud forest. Continuing along the trail, we will have our first view of the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary, as we pass the ruins on our descent to our campsite at Puente Ruinas, where our support staff will have the tents and food prepared. They will welcome you with a cup of tea. After a good rest, you will be well-prepared for the walk the next day to the citadel.
