Overview

The city of Cusco is the starting point for the short 2-day Inca Trail. From here you travel by train to kilometer point 104 (Chachabamba), calculated from the city of Cusco. This is a point on the track where the train will stop, but where there is no station. Here you get out together with your guide and walk in about 4 hours, partly on the official Inca trail, to Machu Picchu. The short Inca Trail is a good alternative for hikers who don’t have much time or for whom the four-day Inca Trail Peru is too strenuous.
You will not spend the night in tents during the two-day short Inca Trail, but in a hotel in the town of Aguas Calientes.

– The waiting times for the short Inca Trail can be several months, so book on time! We can check for you how many places are still available on the various departure dates.

– During the month of February it is not possible to do this trek.
