Short Inca Trail (2 days/1 night, no camping)
This trip allows a taste of the Inca Trail without days of hiking and camping. We begin the hike from the train stop at Kilometer 104 and follow the trail for six hours to the spectacular view of Machu Picchu from Inti Punku, the Gate of the Sun. From here we descend into the world famous “Lost City.” After a restful night in a hotel, we return to Machu Picchu at dawn to see the ruins in perfect morning light. In the afternoon, we return to Cusco by train.

Inca Trail Discovery (5 days/4 nights, 3 nights camping)
Our five-day program allows the traveler time to explore and enjoy the amazing archaeological sites, landscapes and nature along the way. On this trek we hike at a more relaxed pace for less time each day. The hikes average six to seven hours each day, including time to explore the Inca sites we pass through and take in the unparalleled scenery. We camp the first three nights, enjoying great meals and sturdy tents. On the fourth afternoon we arrive at Machu Picchu after the crowds have left, and have time to explore the tranquil ruins. After a well-deserved night at a comfortable hotel, we return to Machu Picchu before the crowds to see the ruins in perfect morning light. In the afternoon we return to Cusco by train. This program is specially designed to offer a more relaxed trek and a deeper understanding of Inca culture.
