Shorter Inka Trail + Machupicchu + Huayna Picchu 2 days Tour

The Inka Trail "Camino Inka", was used by the Incas to reach Machu Picchu and is also the most famous trek in Peru today for tourists trying to reach it on foot, it is considered sacred and during the trek starting at Km 43 you can see many archaeological sites such as Llaqtapata, Runkuraqhay and Wiñayhuayna before reaching the sacred citadel of Machu Picchu, but first we will enjoy the very impressive natural scenery, with incredible views of snow-capped mountains and cloud forest.

The Inca Trail starts from a point in the Sacred Valley, called "Kilometer 82". To begin the trek, you cross a narrow bridge at Kusicancha. This trek is not suitable for people with heart conditions as you will pass over 4,600 m.a.s.l., the trail winds up, down and around the mountains on ancient carved stone stairways, and then continues over three high Andean mountain passes, one of them hauntingly named, "Dead Woman's Pass". Once at the top, when you are able to catch your breath, you are sure to be amazed again by the truly spectacular views of the snow-capped mountains of the Vilcanota Range. Along the way, visitors will be able to experience a series of microclimates and observe the changes in flora and fauna, typical of the Andes and the cloud forest, as well as the enormous biological diversity of the Amazon.
