Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2 Days & 1 Night

About this experience

This is a short sample of a system that once linked many countries in South America. It includes a 6-hour hike, where you will experience walking a trail built and used many centuries ago. Cultivation terraces, dwellings, temples and viewpoints will be part of our experience. We rest in a hotel in Machupicchu town and the second day we have a full excursion of Machupícchu archaeological site.
