About this experience
Take the fabulous 2-day Short Inca Trail, designed for adventure lovers. Enjoy unforgettable memories following the most famous route of the Qhapac Ñan “Inca Trail”. We will see the archaeological site of Wiñaywayna (always young), as well as the charming flora and fauna of the tropical jungle. We will feel like we have gone back in time, realizing that we are following in the footsteps of the Incas, climbing a trail of ancient stones. Soon the magical moment of our journey will arrive when we have the same view from the Puerta del Sol, to contemplate one of the most beautiful places in the world, Machu Picchu.

Super organized agency and attentive staff
My tours were great and everything was super well organized! I felt very safe traveling alone with the help of Peru Grand Travel and Christian was very attentive throughout the process

Organization and attention from beginning to end
Peru Grand Travel was attentive from beginning to end, out of the convenience of speaking Portuguese with us. The Inca Trail was an incredible and super organized experience. Cristian, always courteous and available was there at the hotel the day before explaining certain tuso and brought the necessary equipment. The next day, they were super punctual, we had our lunch made by them including mine, which was vegetarian and was not an improvisation, was really good food. Water, snack, mimos. I don't have an A to talk about. The only thing I would dispense with, I don't know if it's possible, is dinner in Aguas Calientes. It was included in our package, but there's so much good and different option there that I'd rather have chosen on account. Wilbert, the guide, was exceptional. Attentive, careful and tell us the whole story with so much engagement that it leads us to a distant laaaa time. It’s exciting to see this Modern Wonder and think of such ingenuity and connection with nature. Beyond that, we climbed Huayna Picchu which was also very cool! After all, I found everything well organized and felt safe from the beginning, from when Karen always answered my questions and any time, until the end, when Cristian still came to the hotel to know if everything was okay and bring souvenirs for us.
Response from the operator: Muito obrigada pela sua avaliação! 💛😊 Ficamos felizes que a Trilha Inca (2 dias) tenha sido incrível, organizada e segura — e que o atendimento em português tenha ajudado. Agradecemos por destacar a Karen, o Cristian (pela atenção e suporte, inclusive no hotel na véspera) e o guia Wilbert, que torna a história emocionante. Sobre o jantar em Águas Calientes, obrigada pela sugestão — vamos considerar mais flexibilidade no pacote. Obrigada por confiar na Peru Grand Travel e até a próxima! ✨

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $635 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 Inca Trail 2 days 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 Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inca Trail 2 days 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 Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. 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 Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu?
+
Around 3 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 Inca Trail 2 days 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.
