The Short Inca Trail is part of the mystical network of ancient trails that lead to Machu Picchu, now one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. With the Short Inca Trail 2 day, now condensed into a one-day walk along the trail and one in Machu Picchu, you get to enjoy all the best parts of the Classic 4-day Inca Trail. Covering a distance of just 10km/6.3 miles, the 2-day Inca Trail is slightly challenging which makes it perfect for families with children, friends, schoolmates, couples, those who are not 100% fit, and/or those on a tight schedule.
