Flora, Fauna, History, Astronomy, Geology PLUS Machu Picchu!
Incatrekkers made ALL the DIFFERENCE in our trip to Peru, far exceeded our expectations! We feel so fortunate that we booked with Juvenal and his team! My only regret is that we did not book more time with Incatrekkers. If I could do it again I would have chose to extend our tour through the Sacred Valley — next time! In October my husband and I did the 2-day Machu Picchu trip with Juvenal and his team, starting from KM104, hiking up to Puerta del Sol where we overlooked the archeological site, and then down the trail to Machu Picchu itself. The next day we went back to Machu Picchu (via the switchbacks, on a bus) and explored many of the archeological sites with expert commentary from Juvenal, who not only knows a great deal but is very engaged with the place — this ultimately helped us see Machu Picchu and environs through his eyes, bringing it to life! From the start, Juvenal demonstrated a profound knowledge of the area’s flora and fauna. He could identify every bird we saw and every flower. He described the history of each place, the astronomical calculations and considerations, the native and cultivated plants, and the cosmology that made each place important and sacred. He fielded all our questions and has a deep knowledge of everything about the region. He is personable, punctual and dependable. If you want to learn about the human history and the natural history while spending time outdoors hiking or walking in this spectacular, awe-inspiring part of the world, would definitely recommend Incatrekkers 100%.

Why this scores 41
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day 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 Inca Trail to Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $850 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 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 Inca Trail to Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?
+
Around 0 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 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.
What is included in 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Extra spending. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 54 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 2 Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply.
