The Short Inca Trail is a 1-day or 2-day hiking tour that takes you to the famous Machu Picchu. Unlike the classic 4-day Inca Trail, the short version is easier and quicker, but still full of history and beautiful views.
This trail starts at a place called KM 104 and includes a visit to the amazing Wiñay Wayna ruins. It ends at the Sun Gate, where you get your first exciting view of Machu Picchu.
This trail is perfect for first-time hikers or people who don’t want to spend many days trekking. You don’t need to carry heavy backpacks or sleep in tents. Most people stay in a hotel in Aguas Calientes, the town near Machu Picchu, after the hike. It gives you a great mix of adventure and comfort.
Alpaca Expeditions is a trusted tour company that offers guided Short Inca Trail treks. They provide friendly guides, delicious meals, and take care of all the details, so you don’t need to worry about anything.

Superb . Amazing . Memorable 🫶
Words cannot express the way I feel about The Salkantay Trek 7days 6 nights with our awesome Guide - Group Leader Ismael, was one of the most memorable experiences that I will treasure in memory forever. Ismael’s knowledge and passion in sharing the history of his culture, and the surrounding landscape, the historical sites, coupled with the flora and fauna was outstanding. He conveyed it with such enthusiasm, zealous paired with great humour made it all the more memorable and interesting.
The food that nourished us day today was superb, Marcelino was and outstanding chef.
The rest of the Alpaca crew was amazing, from setting up our camp site, we couldn’t have done this without our Alpaca Familia.
Kudos to you all, and many thanks 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽 for making this one of the most unforgettable experience of a lifetime. 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

The hike was absolutely incredible. Our guides Raul Angel and Edwin were amazing! They were helpful, supportive and full of knowledge to share. I can’t rave about them enough. The food was sooo good. We ate like kings every night! If I could give 10 plus stars to our guides and the porters and chefs I would! This is a bucket list trip that is a must if you like adventure and beautiful scenery!
