About this experience
Experience the highlights of the famous Inca Trail in just two days. Begin your trek at kilometer 104 and follow the scenic final stretch of this legendary route to the Sun Gate, offering your first breathtaking views of Machu Picchu. Along the way, discover lesser-known Inca ruins with your expert guide before arriving for a comprehensive guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Afterward, relax with an overnight stay in a comfortable Aguas Calientes hotel—combining adventure, culture, and comfort in one unforgettable journey.
Important Note:
We highly recommend booking your tour at least 5 months in advance, as Inca Trail permits are limited and tend to sell out very quickly, especially during high season. Early booking ensures availability for your preferred departure date.
