Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

The Short Inca Trail is ideal for travelers who have limited time or want something less strenuous. This short hike starts at KM 104 of the Machu Picchu train line on a trail that leads to two archaeological ruins Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna. This hike also gives you the opportunity to enter the lost city via on foot it's famous Sun Gate, the dramatic entrance that provides Inca Trail travelers with their first glimpse of the ancient ruin. Spend the night in Aguas Calientes and then wake up on day two for a Machu Picchu walking tour and afternoon return to Cusco.
