We are introducing our 1 Day Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu also known as Short Inca Trail Hike. This wonderful One Day Short Inca Trail Hike provides the highlights from day three of the 4 Day Inca trail Hike. Tourists on this Short Inca Trail get to experience the amazing landscapes of the sloping and stripey mountain ranges of the Urabamba region, the Inca sites of Chachabamba, Huñayhuyana Complex (also known as ‘Little Machu Picchu’) and Cascade.
This one day hike to Machu Picchu provides you with an opportunity to enjoy a train journey through the Sacred Valley, taking in many views of the Urubamba River en route. The train journey finishes at a lush forest high in a tropical area where the real adventure begins! This trail has been specifically designed for tourists who want to experience the wonder of the 2 Days Inca Trail Hike but are limited to do so due to time, activity level or permit constraints.
On our 1 Day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu you will pass through the infamous ‘Sungate’ (inti Punko) which is the most important entrance and was the unique ending gate to Machu Picchu. From this high point you will appreciate the city of Machu Picchu below.
NOTA, if you have more than 1 days you can request for the best option Inca Trail 2 Days with Hotel or if you want to experience one-night camping at Puente Puinas Inca Trail 2 Days with Camping.
Day 1: Cusco – Chachabamba – Wiñay Wayna – Machu Picchu – Cusco
You will have thorough briefing with your guide 1 or 2 days before your trek. Your guide will meet you at your hotel and you can take this opportunity to ask questions and make any final preparations.
Cusco – Ollantaytambo – 104 – Sungate – Machupicchu – Cusco
Pick up from your hotel in Cusco begins at 4 AM. An hour and a half drive through the Sacred Valley brings us to Ollantaytambo where we board the train to 104, which takes 90 minutes, all the while taking in views of the Sacred River and the Urubamba mountain ranges. After passing through the control point at 104 we start our amazing One Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
The first three hours hiking are gradually uphill until we reach the first Inca site of Winayhuyana (‘Little Machupicchu’) where you will be spoilt with stunning views of lush forest and rugged mountains and will be treated to a unique waterfall. After exploring this Inca site we continue following the trail for 90 minutes until we reach Sungate and from here you will appreciate your first views of Machupicchu. After enjoying the most stunning views of Machupicchu we follow the path to Machupicchu for 45 minutes where we end the one day Inca Trail.
When you have finished taking pictures you will start your two-hour guided tour of Machu Picchu with your expert tour guide during which you will learn the rich history of our ancestors.
