Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu in 5 days

Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in 2 days

This itinerary is rated moderate and should only be undertaken by people who are fairly fit and take regular exercise. The trek starts at 2100m (KM 104) and climbs to 2700m (Wiñay Wayna) before descending to 2400m (Machu Picchu).

Short Inca Trail in 2 days

The 2 day Inca Trail is a fantastic option for those who don`t have the time or desire to hike the full length of the Inca Trail.

Best hiking trip I have done so far

I spent six weeks in Perú and this trip was the absolute highlight for following reasons:

• The inca trail is in itself very beautiful with crazy views along the whole path.
• The many inca sights along the trail are incredible.
• Our guide introduced us to the history along the way. The history was packaged in small portions, which is perfect for understanding and learning. All our questions were answered.
• The food (most of the time three dishes) was really good. We were surprised by the skills of the chef who cooked everything in a small tent on two stoves.
• The porters were very reliable and spread good vibes, even on days that were very tough for them.
• The organisation was perfect from pickup to drop off.
• Last and most importantly, our guide Percy made the four days really fun and even paid attention to the smallest details. Just one example: he surprised us with Coca Cola Zero (which we are addicted to :D) on the last day at the Sungate after an exhausting hike to the top and with the first view at Machu Picchu.

All in all: I really recommend doing the inca trail and booking it with this company.
