Itinerary of your trip Short Inca Trail – 2 Days

  • Day 1 Inca Trail To Machu Picchu (Km 104)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Inca Trail To Machu Picchu (Km 104)

      Departing from Cusco or Ollantaytambo early in the morning, your journey starts with a train ride to Km 104, the starting point for the final day of the Inca Trail. During the train journey, the valley turns into a canyon and the scenery begins to alter as you enter into the cloud forests.


      The Inca Trail begins with a challenging uphill trek to Chachabamba (2270 m / 7448 ft). It’s a short but intense start to your day!


      Then, you’ll head to the magnificent archaeological complex of Wiñay Wayna (2650 m / 8694 ft), the most important archeological site besides Machu Picchu. From here, there are many steep steps to climb to reach the Archaeological Site. The trail then becomes gentler as you continue on to Inti Punku (Peru’s famous “Sun Gate”), the original entrance used by the Inca to access Machu Picchu.


      It is from here that you’ll have your first glimpse of Machu Picchu as the sun falls. You won’t be exploring the ruins today given it will be getting dark, so it’s time to rest up for an early day of exploring the ruins tomorrow.


      After passing through the Sun Gate, you’ll cross the site to take the bus down to Machu Picchu Pueblo in anticipation of a full day visit tomorrow.


      Overnight: Lodge or Hotel Aguas Calientes

      Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

  • Day 2 Explore Machu Picchu - Cusco
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Explore Machu Picchu - Cusco

      Around 5:30-6:00 am, just before sunrise, you’ll catch the first bus (a 25-minutes ride) up to Machu Picchu (2400 m) for sunrise and to enjoy the ruins at a quieter time of day before the crowds arrive. Your guide will lead you in our exploration and discovery of the many corners within the enigmatic citadel. Guided tours last, on average, around 2 hours.


      After the tour, you’ll still have some time to visit other parts of the ruins that you didn’t get to see with your guide. For example, heading west from the centre of Machu Picchu, the Inca bridge is a 30-minute (2 km) walk along a narrow path.


      If you feel like an uphill challenge, you have the option to climb the infamous mountain of Huayna Picchu. To climb this mountain, you’ll need to buy a separate permit in advance.


      At the end of your visit to Machu Picchu, we’ll take the bus down to Aguas Calientes for lunch and then board the train to Ollantaytambo or Cusco, depending on where you’ll be spending the night. On arriving at the final train station, we’ll have a private transport waiting to bring you to your hotel.


      (Please note: if you’re taking the train to Cusco, it’s still an 1.5-hour drive from the train station to the city of Cusco.)
