2-Day Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu

Taking on a 2-day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu is one of the best ways to explore one of Peru’s top attractions.

Not everyone has four or five days to hike this classic trail, but missing out on Machu Picchu simply isn’t an option. So, if you want to explore the Andes on one of the shortest hikes to Machu Picchu, look no further than this epic two-day and one-night tour.

This Machu Picchu Inca Trail tour includes a one-night stay in a lovely Aguas Calientes Town (or Machu Picchu Pueblo) hotel. This allows you to get a deeper understanding of the area and truly admire Peru’s rich history.

While we offer a Machu Picchu day tour, this two-day hike is the best option if you’re not prepared for a long trek but still want a slightly more detailed tour. You’ll be able to admire loads of Incan sites throughout the tour. Some popular places you’ll visit include the Chachabamba Archeological Site, Wiñaywayna Inca Site, the iconic sunset photo spot at Sungate, and the upper section of the Machu Picchu Inca Site. You’ll also be able to enjoy it all without the crowds.

Remember that this 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu unearths far more than just historic sites. You’ll find amazing views, vibrant plants and endemic animals typical of the region. If that’s not enough, we’ll also provide interesting facts and unique local knowledge about the area and its biodiversity.

This 2-day hike to Machu Picchu covers roughly 12km (7.5 miles) from Chachabamba to Machu Picchu, which you’ll cover on day one. You’ll then have an opportunity to rest for the night in Aguas Calientes.

Day two has an early start, with postcard-worthy sunrise photos at Machu Picchu. After, it’s time for a long and in-depth guided tour of one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
