Short Inca Trail 2 Day Trek to Machu Picchu with Hotel Stay

The incredible journey with the amazing Qoricancha Expeditions !

So glad we booked this amazing experience with Qoricancha Expeditions. Prior to our Machu Picchu adventure all communications were handled flawlessly by Ronaldo, any prior questions or queries we had were answered in lightning speed. Thank you Ronaldo! I really cannot criticise one aspect of our 2 day trek at all. It was a real pleasure to trek alongside our guide Ronaldhino , what a gentleman, his English was impeccable and his knowledge of the trail, Machu Picchu and all things Peru second to none. We arrived at Machu Picchu through the legendary Sun Gate in perfect sunshine and trust me setting your eyes on this mystical Inca site for the first time via this “doorway” high above the citadel has to be the pinnacle of any other arrival experience. What more to say? Well on the second day once again in perfect early morning weather we got close up and personal to the ruins , visiting the living quarters of the Inca Royals, nobles and gentry. Once again our guide Ronaldhino was at hand to answer all of our questions and take lots of great pics of my daughter and I from all the best spots as he had indeed done on the previous day. Thank you Ronaldhino ! All meals, including dinner on the mountain were great alongside very comfortable overnight accommodation in Aguas Calientes. Thank you Qoricancha Expeditions for providing my daughter and I an amazing journey to one of the worlds most amazing places with memories to last a lifetime !

Unforgettable Short Inca Trail & Cusco Experience

My sister and I traveled to Peru and booked the 5 day Cusco and Machu Picchu tour with Qoricancha Expeditions. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. Ronaldo made planning simple. He always replied quickly to emails, gave us all the details we needed, and even set up a video call to go over the itinerary and answer our questions before we left. His clear communication and organization made us feel confident right away. The best part of our trip was the 2-day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The hike was beautiful, with mountain views, original Inca stone paths, cloud forests, and amazing archaeological sites like Wiñay Wayna. Reaching the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu for the first time was a moment we will never forget. It was one of the most rewarding travel experiences we have ever had. Our guide, Simon, was fantastic throughout the trek and the whole tour. With more than a decade of experience, he shared interesting insights into the story, culture, and traditions, making every place we visited even more essential. He was patient, professional, and encouraging throughout the hike, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and had a good time. Ricardo, our driver, was also great, always on time and friendly. The hotels were great too. Rumipunku Hotel in Cusco was comfortable and close to everything. Sol Natura in the Sacred Valley was quiet and had beautiful views. Tierra Viva in Machu Picchu Pueblo was the perfect place to relax after our hike. Overall, the tour was excellent from beginning to end. We highly recommend Qoricancha Expeditions. Ronaldo and Simon were both outstanding, and Simon is one of the best guides we have ever had. This was an experience we will never forget.

Response from the operator: Dear Nila. Thank you for your great review and for choosing Qoricancha Expeditions for your trip to Peru.

We’re proud to share Peru’s history, culture, and beauty, and we always aim to make your trip smooth and memorable. It was a pleasure helping you plan your trip, and we really appreciate your recommendation. We hope you and your sister will visit Peru with us again someday!

Amazing tour!

We did the Short Inca Trail with Qoricancha Expeditions and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was extremely well organized, which made the whole trip very relaxing and enjoyable. The communication beforehand was excellent — all information was clear and detailed, and they took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly. During the tour itself, everything went smoothly, especially the transportation and logistics. The food was fantastic throughout the trip, and we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel: a very luxurious room with a jacuzzi, which was the perfect way to relax after the hike. The hike itself was breathtaking. The scenery and nature along the route were truly stunning. Our guide, Mr. Wilson, was outstanding. He shared so much interesting information about the flora and fauna, as well as the history, architecture, and culture of the Incas. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable, he also made a lot of fun jokes during the tour, which created a great atmosphere and made the experience even more enjoyable. We had two unforgettable days and would highly recommend Qoricancha Expeditions to anyone considering the Short Inca Trail. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
