Everything was organized extremely well — from transportation to meals to accommodations — and we felt taken care of the entire time. A special thank you to our guide, Gustavo, who made the journey unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the Andes. He always checked in on everyone in the group and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the trek. The whole trip exceeded our expectations.

Cusco: Machu Picchu 2-Day Inca Trail with Panoramic Train

2.Machu Picchu 2-Day Inca Trail with Panoramic Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 260 reviews · 2 days · from $582

Review the 2-day Inca Trail from Cusco to Machu Picchu, with Chachabamba, Wiñaywayna, sunset views, hotel stay, and Vistadome train.

“What an amazing trip this is. Expect very early starts, the first day is an all-day trek which is of moderate difficulty I would say, culminating in reaching the "sun gate" and an incredible view of Machu Picchu. The second day is an in-depth tour of the site itself and a very fancy train trip back, with a fashion show! Worth every penny.”

Hike Peru’s classic 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with camps, meals, porters, permits, guides, and return transport included.

“Our guide, Freddy, was excellent and had great knowledge of Quechuan history and culture. The cook, Armando, was also excellent and prepared meals, worthy of a fine restaurant using camp cooking equipment. Finally, our porters were extremely capable, helpful, and kind. On the other hand, the company, Quechuas Expeditions, was disorganized and did not seem very interested in our trip. For example, unlike other companies, whose clients were hiking around us, they did not provide a clean portable toilet, but instead left us to use the atrocious bathroom facilities along the Inca Trail. Also, the guide was not scheduled to accompany us all the way from Machu Picchu to our…”

“DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY "HAPPY GRINGO TOURS" This company is hopeless. Very bad communication and management. They never contact and share any booking details until very last minute.
