SHORT INCA TRAIL – 2 Days / 1 Night

Wish to experience the wonders of the Inca Trail, but simply don’t have the time to spend four or more days doing so? Why not join Head Expeditions on our shorter two day Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu. The two day trail includes all the natural beauty of longer treks, while accommodating to less experienced hikers, couples, and families (with small children), who either don’t have the desire or time to engage in the full Inca Trail. Your experienced guide will show you a variety of flora and fauna on your one day, 10KM/ 6.3 mile, hike, as you traverse the incredible Andean mountainside. On the second day you will have the energy you need to fully experience the all greatness of Machu Picchu.

Should you choose, you may also climb to Huayna Picchu (2720m/ 8890ft), which takes approximately 45 minutes. You will then meet you guide back in Aguas Calientes for lunch (it can be reached by foot or the shuttle bus), before taking Perurail (2:30pm) to Ollyantaytambo and our private bus back to your hotel in Cusco.
