Upon arrival at the ruins, enjoy a delicious lunch before continuing the hike to the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where you’ll catch your first magical glimpse of the Lost City of the Incas – Machu Picchu.
Afterward, you’ll head down to Aguas Calientes, where you’ll enjoy a well-deserved dinner at one of the town’s best restaurants before a restful night in your hotel.
Read The Complete Guide to Hiking the Inca Trail to learn everything you need before your hike — from permits and packing tips to what to expect each day on the trail. Perfect for first-time trekkers!
Note: We highly recommend booking a centrally located hotel in Aguas Calientes. Many Airbnb locations are difficult to find, and our transportation services may not have access.
Please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether your accommodation is accessible.
We’ll pick you up from your hotel around 4:00 am, then drive to Ollantaytambo to catch the train to Km 104, the starting point of the Inca Trail.
After a delicious breakfast prepared by our chef, you’ll begin the hike, which takes approximately 6 to 7 hours.
Along the way, you’ll explore several Inca sites and arrive at Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate in the late afternoon—when it’s much quieter. After a short visit, we head to Aguas Calientes to spend the night.
We’ll wake you up early to take the bus to Machu Picchu.
After breakfast, your guide will lead you through the main buildings, temples, and plazas of this awe-inspiring site.
After the guided tour, you may choose to hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain (optional and not included in the price).
In the afternoon, take the panoramic train back to Cusco, where you’ll arrive at your hotel around 7:30 pm.
Inca Trail Highlight of the day: Take in stunning landscapes, explore fascinating archaeological sites, and witness your first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu.
Your adventure begins early in the morning. We’ll pick you up from Cusco at 4:00 am or from Ollantaytambo at 5:30 am and head to the train station to catch one of the first trains to the Inca Trail. The ride takes about 1.5 hours, and we’ll stop at Chachabamba (Km 104), the official starting point of your hike. Please have your original passport ready to enter the Inca Trail checkpoint.
At Km 104 (2,000 m / 6,560 ft), we’ll begin our hike. Make sure you’re prepared with everything you need! We’ll provide snacks and take a group photo before visiting our first archaeological site.
After a briefing and tour of the site, we’ll start hiking along the Inca Trail. If the weather is clear, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Machu Picchu, the Urubamba River, and other surrounding Inca sites.
After about 3 hours of hiking, we’ll reach one of the most beautiful Inca sites on the trail: Wiñay Wayna (“Forever Young”), located at 2,600 m / 8,500 ft. Here, you’ll explore water fountains, sacred temples, agricultural terraces, and gain insights into Inca engineering and culture.
This site sits near the edge of a cliff, surrounded by majestic mountains. Just a few minutes from here is the campsite for those doing the Classic Inca Trail.
Here, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared hot lunch cooked by Our Chef. You can refill your water bottle and take some time to rest before continuing.
From Wiñay Wayna, we’ll hike toward the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where you’ll be rewarded with your first panoramic view of Machu Picchu.
One of the great benefits of this trek is that you’ll arrive at Machu Picchu in the late afternoon, when most travelers have already left—giving you the site almost to yourself.
We offer a unique opportunity to experience Machu Picchu almost empty, exploring the ancient Inca citadel through Circuit 1 — the perfect route for breathtaking photos and peaceful moments after your 2-Day Short Inca Trail adventure. It’s the ultimate way to end your trek — magical, quiet, and unforgettable.
After some time to enjoy the views and take photos, we’ll take a bus down to Aguas Calientes, check into your hotel, and then head to Indio Feliz Restaurant (included), considered the best place to dine in town.
After dinner, we recommend going to bed early to make the most of your visit the next day.
Note: This hiking route is the same as the 2-Day Inca Trail with Camping.
Inca Trail Highlight of the day: Wander through the ancient stone streets of Machu Picchu and imagine what life was like centuries ago.
Today marks the grand finale of your epic journey—a visit to the New Wonder of the World and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu.
After an early breakfast at your hotel in Aguas Calientes, we’ll take the bus up to the archaeological site, aiming to arrive before the crowds. This way, you’ll enjoy the soft morning light as it touches the ancient stones.
You can store your larger belongings at the hotel and bring only a small daypack with your essentials. The bus ride takes approximately 30 minutes.
Once at Machu Picchu, your guide will take you to the best scenic spot for sunrise photos (weather permitting), followed by a 2.5-hour guided tour along Circuit 3 through the main buildings, temples, plazas, and pathways.
You’ll learn about the architecture, history, and spirituality of the Inca Empire from your expert guide.
If you’ve booked one of the additional hikes, you can now ascend:
After exploring every corner of this magical place, we’ll return to Aguas Calientes around noon for lunch (not included) at a restaurant of your choice.
Later, around 2:00 pm, we’ll head to the train station to catch the panoramic train to Ollantaytambo, where our private vehicle will be waiting to bring you back to Cusco. You’ll arrive at your hotel around 7:30 pm.
Now it’s time to rest your legs after this life-changing 2-day trek. We’re sure you’ll never forget this unforgettable adventure on the Inca Trail.
At Tunqui Expeditions, we clearly specify what is included and not included in every itinerary listed on our website. We take care of all the logistics, but we kindly ask that you pay close attention to the details so you don’t miss anything.
Some elements may vary depending on the program, so please read carefully before booking.
As soon as we receive your personal details and deposit, we’ll secure your official Inca Trail permit—subject to availability (please check our Inca Trail Availability link).
These permits are issued in your full name for a specific date and cannot be changed once confirmed.
Please note: Only your passport number can be updated later, if needed.
Your permit also includes your entry ticket to Machu Picchu, making it essential to book early due to limited daily spaces.
Your Short Inca Trail permit includes access to Circuit 1, guiding you directly to the iconic upper viewpoint of Machu Picchu — where you’ll capture that legendary postcard photo with sweeping panoramic views of the citadel.
To enhance your experience even further, we include an additional entry ticket for a second visit:
You’ll also receive a second entry ticket—Circuit 3 for a full walk through the main temples and plazas, to explore the lower, quieter side of Machu Picchu.
⚠️ Please note: All circuits are subject to availability, and we’ll secure the best option available at the time of your booking.
We believe it’s the small details that set us apart. Every hiker receives:
All government taxes and trekking permit fees are included in our prices. No hidden fees.
Although less tangible, the following points are just as important and reflect our core values:
Most trekkers could not complete these treks without the help of porters. They are the backbone of our company. Our founder, Silvio Tunqui, began as a porter himself and knows their needs intimately.
We are committed to offering:
We are proud of our 300+ porters and grateful for their dedication.
We also run 4 trips per year for our porters and their families to experience Machu Picchu as guests—not just as workers. For many, it’s their first time entering the historic sanctuary their ancestors helped build.
Since 2022, we’ve proudly included female guides, chefs, and porters. While the numbers aren’t yet 50/50, we’re working toward full equality across our team.
We go above and beyond to be eco-conscious.
Huayna Picchu Mountain (Optional)
Looking to take your adventure to the next level? Climb Huayna Picchu, the iconic peak that towers behind Machu Picchu. This steep 45-minute ascent offers jaw-dropping panoramic views and an unforgettable sense of accomplishment.
It’s a real challenge—not recommended for those with a fear of heights—but if you’re up for it, the reward is absolutely worth it!
With your 6:00 a.m. Machu Picchu entry on Circuit 2, you’ll have plenty of time for a guided tour before tackling the Huayna Picchu hike on your own, following your guide’s instructions.
Machu Picchu Mountain
For those seeking stunning views without the steep drop-offs of Huayna Picchu, Machu Picchu Mountain is the perfect choice. Its wide, less intimidating trails make it ideal for a more relaxed but equally rewarding hike. The round-trip ascent takes around 1.5 hours, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the citadel and surrounding Andes.
If you’re entering Machu Picchu with a 6:00 a.m. Circuit 2 ticket, you can opt for the 8:00 a.m. Machu Picchu Mountain entry, pausing your guided tour to complete the hike independently, following your guide’s instructions.
We’ll gladly secure your ticket in advance upon request—just let us know during booking.
At Tunqui Expeditions, we want your trip to Peru to be as memorable and stress-free as possible. Here you’ll find answers to all your most common questions in one place.

It’s very important to be well-acclimatized to the altitude before starting any trek. We recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 or 3 days before your trek begins to allow your body to adjust and avoid altitude sickness.
If you’ve already been to another high-altitude area in Peru before Cusco, we still suggest spending at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recover from travel, and enjoy the sights before starting your trek.
Suggested activities before your trek:
All pre-trek briefings are held at our main office in Cusco (or at your hotel) at 5:00 PM the night before your trek. The briefing lasts approximately 30–45 minutes.
If you can’t attend, please coordinate another time via email, phone, or by visiting our office.
If you have an outstanding balance, it must be paid at least 2 days before your trek. Otherwise, your reservation may not be confirmed.
We greatly appreciate if you can pay the balance in cash (USD or Peruvian soles) at our Cusco office. ATMs along Avenida El Sol dispense both currencies.
You can also pay via credit/debit card or PayPal (online or in person), but note that a 5% service fee applies via Niubiz or PayPal.
We do not accept checks or traveler’s checks.
You’ll receive a duffel bag during your pre-trek briefing. Porters will carry it along the trail and deliver it to your camp.
Size: 60 x 24 x 22 cm / 23.6 x 9.45 x 8.66 in
Maximum weight: 7 kg / 15.4 lbs, including sleeping bag, pad, clothing, and personal items.
Absolutely!
You can store your main luggage safely at our office or your hotel (most hotels offer luggage storage) at no additional cost.
However, please do not store valuables in your suitcase. Keep items like credit cards, electronics, and passports in your hotel safe. Request a detailed receipt, as insurance companies may require proof of value in case of loss.
For added security, seal valuables (like credit cards) in a signed envelope before storing them.
Tunqui Expeditions offers hotel pick-up within the Historic Center of Cusco.
Your guide will confirm your pick-up time during the briefing. Please note that pick-up time may vary by 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Cusco is a historic city with narrow, cobblestone streets. Some hotels or Airbnbs are located on steep hills or pedestrian-only streets, which may make luggage transfers difficult.
We highly recommend choosing accommodation with easy vehicle access.
Group tours bring together people from different backgrounds, ages, and fitness levels.
By joining a group, you agree that some hikers may be faster or slower than others, and everyone is encouraged to hike at their own pace.
If the group wishes to modify the itinerary, the guide will decide, in consultation with the group, whether the change is feasible.
The return from Machu Picchu requires some logistics, but don’t worry—we handle everything!
Strikes and protests are relatively common in Peru and may disrupt transportation or tours.
Roads and train tracks can be blocked. We always try to maintain your itinerary as planned, even if it means departing the night before.
In extreme cases, tours may be canceled. If changes or cancellations are necessary, our Operations Team will coordinate with you directly.
Your safety is our top priority, and we will make decisions accordingly.
Please take care of your belongings during the trip.
You are responsible for your personal items at all times—whether in transport, tents, or restaurants.
Double-check your space before leaving any area to ensure you haven’t left anything behind.
