About this experience
This 2-day Short Inca Trail is designed for those looking for a more personal and authentic experience, far from the usual tourist routines.
We walk where others don't get there
We start at km 104, a lesser known route that allows you to enjoy the Andean landscape in tranquility, away from the crowds.
History that feels
We visit not only Wiñayhuayna, but also the ruins of Chachabamba, a little-visited place where the guide will tell you the stories few hear.
Small groups, close attention
With a maximum of 16 people, we ensure that each traveller feels accompanied and can enjoy themselves at their own pace.
Arrival in Machu Picchu calmly
We give you time to explore the citadel in detail, in a serene atmosphere that allows you to appreciate its greatness.
It’s not just a tour – it’s your time to connect with nature, history and yourself, in a unique environment that remains in the memory.
