SHORT INCA TRAIL 2 DAYS

Your adventure begins bright and early with a 4:00 am pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Enjoy a scenic journey of approximately one and a half hours to the charming town of Ollantaytambo, where we’ll board the first train to KM 104, the starting point of our trek. Along the way, you’ll be greeted by the stunning Andean mountains, fertile fields, and the Urubamba River, basking in the warm embrace of the morning sun.
Before the hike, you’ll have a brief orientation with your guide, a box lunch, and some snacks to enjoy later. The trek begins with a visit to the nearby archaeological site of Chachabamba, once a strategic guard post and checkpoint for the Inca Trail. Your guide will share fascinating insights into Incan history before you embark on the actual hike.
The trail continues for another 3 hours to the Wiñay Wayna Complex. As you hike, you’ll be surrounded by lush vegetation and towering mountains, offering breathtaking valley views. Wiñay Wayna is known for its impressive architecture, featuring a ritualistic water source, temples venerating natural forces, and agricultural terraces blending seamlessly with the mountains. This site offers a glimpse into the rich legacy of the Incas.
After exploring Wiñay Wayna, you’ll have time to relax and connect with Mother Nature. A little further along, you’ll arrive at a campsite on the Classic Inca Trail, where you’ll enjoy a tasty lunchbox and recharge your energies.
Next, we’ll continue hiking to the Sun Gate, where you’ll get your first panoramic view of the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu. It’s a truly jaw-dropping experience, showcasing the ingenuity of the Incas. The enchanting landscape invites introspection into their profound connection with nature.
We’ll then head to the exit to take a bus to Aguas Calientes. Your hotel stay awaits, but first, you’ll enjoy a delectable dinner at one of the town’s top restaurants. Make sure to rest early, as you’ll be waking up at dawn for the next adventure.
