      About this trip

       

      The Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is an excellent option for those who want to experience the Inca Trail but don't have the time or stamina for a longer hike. The Short Inca Trail starts at km 104 and passes through incredible scenery, including the lush cloud forest, the Rio Urubamba River valley, and several small Inca ruins. The highlight of the trail, however, is undoubtedly Machu Picchu itself. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Peru's most popular tourist destinations, and for a good reason. The ancient city is an incredible feat of engineering, and its setting in the Andes Mountains is breathtaking.

      Highlights of the Short Inca Trail:

      • Hike the world-famous Inca Trail in 1 day
      • Arrive at Machu Picchu twice (sunset & sunrise)
      • Support Social Project that helps education as you travel
      • Return on the Vistadome Panoramic trains.

      Itinerary

      Hike the Inca Trail
      Day 1: Cusco – Ollantaytambo – Km 104 – Machu Picchu (16km, 8 hrs)

      We began our journey at 4:00 am with a pick-up from our hotel in Cusco. We drive for about an hour and a half to the small town of Ollantaytambo, where we board the Expedition train to Km 104, the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu entrance. The hike from Km 104 to Machu Picchu is about 16km (10 miles) and takes around 7 hours. It is a relatively easy hike but can be challenging at times due to the altitude. Along the way, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Andes mountains and the lush vegetation of the Amazon rainforest. When you finally reach Machu Picchu, you will be able to explore this world-famous Inca site at your own pace. You will also want to take many photos to remember this incredible experience!

      Fantastic trip and organisation. We were very well looked after by our first tour guide, I learnt a ton and he answered all the questions I threw with great insights and friendliness. When we had to take the train to Aguas Caliente he got the restaurant owner (he dropped us off to) to walk us to the station and get us on at the right place at the right time which was excellent. We then had a great second day tour climbing up Machu Pichu Montana as well as tour. I did have to drop a star, not for tour guides, but just for the train back to Ollantaytambo. Because the train booking, where we paid extra to do the vistadome months in advance was in different carriages! So we weren't allowed to sit together and this ruined the experience. It didn't help that I regret the upgrade as it wasn't that good a journey, but to be separated the whole time from my new fiance was an awful experience to end an otherwise wonderful trip!

      Everyone was very helpful in getting us reconnected to our group in Macchu Picchu. I was very appreciative in the communication from our guide Monolo. We had a great time despite not actually hiking the Inca trail!!

      We had an amazing time despite my getting sick and not being able to finish. Klover and Monolo and all the crew were amazing. They were very concerned for my health which was appreciated. They were encouraging, informative, helpful and kind! I'll be back to finish what I started!!
