Highlights

Experience the best of the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu in just two unforgettable days. This private trek is ideal for travelers who want to explore the highlights of the Inca Trail with personalized service, stunning scenery, and expert guidance—without committing to a longer expedition. Begin with a scenic train ride through the Sacred Valley, then hike from Km 104 through lush cloud forest and past the impressive Wiñay Wayna ruins. Enter Machu Picchu via the iconic Sun Gate (Inti Punku) for breathtaking panoramic views. Unlike group tours, this private experience offers flexibility, comfort, and a deeper connection with each site. Take your time, ask questions, and explore at your own pace. This short trek blends Inca history, spectacular landscapes, and the legendary trail—all in just two rewarding days.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
