OVERVIEW

The version of 2 days Inca Trail is a fantastic option for those who don't have enough time or desire to hike the full length of the Inca Trail. With beautiful scenery, a wide variety of flora and fauna on display and a visit to the Inca Trail's most beautiful site (Wiñay Wayna), to enjoy all the best bits of the Inca. Covering a distance of 16 km, the 2 day Inca Trail is not too challenging which makes it perfect for families with children and those on a tight schedule. This option allows you to experience some of the secrets of the Incas without camping in close proximity to facilities. There is no way to explain the surprise of that "woow woow" when after a four hour steep walk upwards, crossing the path of the second most important Inca ruin "Wina Wayna", (which by the way) is beautiful and well worth the climb you scramble up a steep flight of stairs and then your breathe is truly taken away at the Sun gate.
