Short Inca Trail

2 Days / 1 Night

Not everyone has 4 days — but everyone deserves Machu Picchu the right way. The Short Inca Trail gives you the most dramatic section of the legendary route: ancient ruins, cloud forest, hidden waterfalls, and the moment you step through the Sun Gate to see the Lost City glowing below you. Then a night in Aguas Calientes, a sunrise over the citadel, and a private guided tour of one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Two days. One night. Completely private. Absolutely unforgettable.
