INCA TRAIL - 2 Days
The two-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is 11km long and home to beautifully situated archaeological sites. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the majesty of the surrounding mountains and valleys, with their abundant flora and fauna and humid climate. The first day requires on average a moderate amount of physical effort, and after a difficult climb we’ll arrive at the Sun Gate (Intipunku), the entrance to Machu Picchu where we’ll see the sunset and impressive views of the lush natural surroundings. This hike is perfect for people with limited time or families with young children who don’t want to hike for several days.
Availability
The Inca Trail 2 days and its surroundings are protected areas. To prevent environmental and archaeological damage, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture only allows a maximum of 120 people per day to enter, including paying hikers and all support and guiding staff. As such, you must reserve as far in advance as possible. At times, the trail books out 6 months or more in advance. Keep in mind that the months from April to September (inclusive) have the highest demand, and permits quickly book out. To reserve your space on the Inca Trail 2 days, we need certain personal information to send to the government agency which issues the permits.
GROUP SIZE
Our shared groups are small, from 2-8 people maximum. For private groups, the number of people will be determined by the client.
