Inca Trail Trek

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (2 days/1nights)

This short trail to Macchu Picchu was designed for people that have less time and/or energy for the 4 day Inca trail but don't want to miss this unique trek entirely, and of course Macchu Picchu! The trek starts at kilometre 104 and envolves a few hours hiking so that those who have missed the Inca Trail still get to experience the last leg of it. Difficulty of trek: Moderate Length of trek: 2 Days / 1 Nights (Optional 4 days / 3 nights) Start point: Cusco End point: Cusco Type of trek: Archaeological, Cultural, Ecological, Hiking ITINERARY Day 1 We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 5.45 and transfer you to San Pedro train station for your 4 hour journey to KM 104, where you will begin the trail. After registering with the Chachabamba park at the checkpoint, we will take the trail that heads to the Chachabamba ruins, then walking for another 2 1/2 hours where the path descends into a forest and also soon to pass a waterfall where you can refreshen yourself. After leaving the forest we will arrive at the foot of Wiñay Wayna ruins (2700m). Finally after what almost seems like vertical steps, it was our last pass - Intipunku (Sun Gate). From here its now not long until you will be astonished with the city of Macchu Picchu. We will enter from the top at around 4.00pm , then the trail descends down into the ruins. You will have a short amount of free time, tomorrow we will have much more! Day 2 Nice and early we get the bus to IntiPunco (the entrance of the old Inca town of Machu Picchu) at 6.30am, leaving you enough time to explore the ruins. You will see clouds fly past and Macchu Picchu will disappear with in them, so make sure you take pictures whilst the ruins is visible. We will have a two hour guided tour around the ruins, then afterwards you will have free time to explore the mountain of Wiñay Wayna overlooking all of Macchu Picchu - by far the best view! Wiñay Wayna will take approximately 2 hours to the top and back. Its now your choice to enjoy lunch just out side the ruins or take the bus back to Aguas Calientes to explore this small and quaint village. The train back to Cusco departs late afternoon so your estimated time of arrival is approximately 9pm.
