2 day Inca Trail with Camping

2 day Inca Trail with Camping

In this 2 day Inca Trail with camping, you will have unforgettable moments and a lot of fun with friends or family. It's not like the Inca Trail 4 Days; instead, it's a Machu Picchu 2 day hike with 1 night of camping at Puente Ruinas. The adventure starts from the beginning as our first checkpoint is Aguas Calientes.

During the Short Inca Trail with Camping, you will encounter many animals and plants before arriving at Chachabamba. We will make a stop there to visit the magnificent archaeological site.

Finally, when you reach Machu Picchu, you will be seeing one of the most amazing places in the world. In this magical place, some buildings were finished with "La piedra lisa", while others were finished with small irregular stones that fit together perfectly.

Many tourists come not only to see Machu Picchu but also to add adventure to their trips by hiking the Inca Trail. The permits for this 2-day hike are very important and difficult to obtain, as tickets fill up quickly, especially during the high season (June-August).

It's wonderful to visit all these archaeological sites with monuments, beautiful landscapes, a variety of animals and vegetation, and diverse weather that this famous excursion has to offer.
