This tour is meant to encompass the best of the Inca trail in a shorter period of time, which makes the trip more exiting: You will visit Machu Picchu twice. Once in the morning, and once in the afternoon to have the maximum experience possible enabling you to contemplate one of the world`s most famous historical sites.
While the original pathing for this tour takes 4 days to be done on its entirety, an alternative tour that takes half the time is also on your reach.
The Inca Trail is one of the highlights that Cusco has to offer in tourism terms, this tour ends in Machu Picchu and allows visitors to go over the steps of the ancient Inca culture by going through the “road of the powerful/power” (or Qhapaq ñan in Quechua, the Inca laguage)
While visitors skip a big portion of the Classic hike’s by avoiding the first 2 days of the journey, the landscapes and surroundings that can be appreciated by doing this tour are pretty similar. Going from the Andean region of the city to descent into the rainforest’s beginnings of the northern portion of Cusco is still a possibility for this route.
And if you were wondering, yes, you’ll get to visit the famed Sun’s Gate too (or Inti Punku), by passing this point you’ll visit Machu Picchu on the first day to return the next one for a thorough guided visit that will allow you to explore the site with more detail.
