Private, friendly, informative, and beautiful tours

We hiked the Lares trail. Then we hiked the short Inca trail. Such a memorable experience. Alfredo is so helpful and an amazing planer and tour guide. If you’re in Cusco and want to arrange a day tour, I strongly recommend doing it with Alfredo rather than with big tours. He may charge a bit extra than a typical crowded tour, but I assure you that the comfort and privacy you’ll have will be worth every dollar. Thank you Alfredo. Next time I’ll be in Cusco, I hope you’ll be available to help us again. You’re awesome, man!

2-day tour along the Inka trail with Machu Picchu Terra and your guide Franklin

We went with Machu Picchu Terra. Excellent experience! Everything was perfect: the hotel pick-up, the multiple transportations, the hotel in Aguas Calientes and the meals during those 2 days. A special paragraph for our guide Franklin, who accompanied us and taught us a lot about the Inka culture and the plants and animals of the area. Excellent humor, with knowledge and brilliant ideas that made it possible to enjoy the ride.

2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu cost?

+

Prices start at $490 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 2-Day exclusive Tour of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
