For those short in time, this one-day Inca trail trek to Machu Picchu is your best option. Trek the Inca trail and enter Machu Picchu through the Sun gate as the Incas did.

This shorter version of the Inca Trail still allows you to visit the most beautiful ruins along the way to Machu Picchu, Winawayna. Enjoy lunch before visiting and then continue through the Sun Gate for your first view of the Lost City of the Incas. You will explore the citadel of Machu Picchu and taken to the best picture spots. You will then continue down to Aguas Calientes for dinner before boarding your return train back to Cusco. For those who want a small taste of hiking the Andes, this 1 day hike ending in Machu Picchu can not be beat.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is rated moderate and any reasonably fit person should be able to cover the route. There are some challenging moments and altitudes of 4200m are reached, so ensuring that you are well acclimatized is important. If you are arriving from sea level, plan to spend at least 2 full days in Cusco prior to commencing the trek.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is available all year round except February. The months of April until October are probably more comfortable since the weather is drier.

The months of January and March are in the wet season so hiking the trail can be difficult unless you have a good rain jacket, good water-proof hiking shoes and waterproof your belongings
