One Day short inca Trail Machu Picchu

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!
