The Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is ideal for travelers who have limited time or want something less strenuous. This adventure hike starts at KM 104 of the Machu Picchu train line on a trail that leads to two archaeological sites Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna. This hike also gives you the opportunity to enter the lost city via the famous Sun Gate, the dramatic entrance that provides Inca Trail trekkers with their first glimpse of the site. Spend the night in Aguas Calientes and then wake up on Day 2 for a Machu Picchu tour.

Walter was our Alpaca Expeditions guide for our 2 day/1 night Inca Trail hike and our tour of Machu Picchu. He guided us on the Inca Trail and in the evening, took us all out to a great restaurant in Aguas Calientes. The following morning, we joined him on a tour of Machu Picchu. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Inca culture and the ruins around Machu Picchu and was eager to share his knowledge with us. He showed and explained to us many facts that we would never have been aware of if we had done the tour on our own. He was able to answer all questions that the group had for him and he patiently took many many photos of us all and even forwarded several photos of us that he had taken during the 2 day tour.
He was very attentive to all of our needs and even sent a follow-up message to us asking us if we had all of our belongings and hoping that we had a great experience with our visit to Machu Picchu.
We highly recommend Walter and if we were to ever take a tour of Machu Picchu in the future, we would not hesitate to contact him again.

We had the best time doing the short 2 day Inka trail tour of Machu Picchu. Our tour guide Lino was very informative, catered for our every need and was a great guy! The hotel and meals included were great and good value for money.
We hope to do the longer tour with Action Peru Treks in the future!

We had a fantastic time on our two day Inca trek; we thoroughly enjoyed the hike, seeing Inca ruins, walking the Inca steps, learning about the history of the Incas, Cusco and Peru, and of course the amazing sights of Machu Pichu itself. Doing all of this with Action Peru Treks meant we didn’t have to think or stress about all the different logistics and tickets. We were booked into a lovely hotel (Hatun Inti) where we had a private double en suite room. I really appreciated that through all meals my dietary request (vegetarian) had been catered for; our packed lunch on the trek and dinner in Aguas Calientes were delicious with lots of fresh veg. Roxner was super clear with information beforehand and quick to answer queries. I can’t write a review without mentioning our fantastic guide (and photographer!) Lino. Lino really made our trip, he was super knowledgeable, kind and passionate - it was great to learn from and generally spend time with him. Thank you Lino and Action Peru Treks! We had an unforgettable experience and can’t think of a single aspect we would want to change.

This was my first time to Peru and I’m so glad Action Peru had my back. Roxner was great about communicating and answering any questions we had before the trip and our guide Lino was hands down the best guide we could have had. We did the Inca trail hike with him and he was very helpful every step of the way. His knowledge and pride in Inca culture shone through our conversations. I highly recommend Action Peru to anyone visiting Peru. They offer many unique services.

My family, friends and I would like to thank Action Peru Treks for an amazing Peru trip that included the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and the Rainbow mountain. The customer service from the team (especially Roxner) was outstanding, with clear communication and a genuine commitment to providing a wonderful experience. Roxner helped us create two itineraries that suited our friends and us as there were some things that we wanted to do independently.
Our guides Lino and Christian were phenomenal. Both are passionate about the history of Peru and kept us well informed. They were attentive to our needs as we were traveling with a toddler and ensured we were comfortable at all times. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the region made it a rich experience.
We highly recommend Action Peru Treks for people looking to visit and explore the history and beauty of Peru!

We did the short inca trail and extended sacred valley tour with action Peru . I would highly recommend this company to anyone . Look no further than Action Peru.
Lino- our tour guide for sacred valley and Inca trek was the best . He was extremely knowledgeable and always very informative about the Incan history at each site we passed along the way. He also took hundreds of amazing pictures for us and gave us several tips for our hike. Lino is very passionate about what he does and took care of us like his family throughout the trip.
Roxner - the owner of this company was always available to answer all our questions and modify our tour as we needed . He also provided us with a complimentary airport drop off .
Frank - our guide to rainbow mountain literally held our hands to come down the steep mountain slopes.. and we couldn’t have done this adventure without his help.
All the van/ car drivers we came across during our trip were extremely skilled.
Action peru is a local company who only takes small groups of about 4 to 6 people which is fantastic as most other American/ euro tour companies take too many people in one group .
It’s one of the best local company who prides itself on the model of providing educational opportunities to children in the local villages in rainbow mountain and sacred valley .

We had an amazing time on the short Inca trail package with Action Peru Treks. All we had to do was show up and everything from logistics, transport, food, and stay was taken care of by the awesome team.
The hike itself though challenging was highly rewarding. We are very grateful to our guide Hipolito who gave us the most amazing explanation of the Inka and Andean people history throughout the hike and showed us flora and fauna unique to the Andes. He encouraged us, especially me, during the extra difficult stairs, and had a very positive and motivating attitude throughout. We had a very special tour of Machu Picchu the next morning, Hipo planned our morning in a way that ensured we could enjoy the site without a lot of crowds. We now have memories and pictures to last a lifetime.
Action Peru Treks were very quick to answer our questions when we were first deciding which trail package to choose. They gave us all the information necessary to pack and be prepared for the hike. The week and night before the hike they gave us more information pertaining to the transportation from Cusco to kilometer 104. For the hike itself we were provided the most delicious vegetarian food that satisfied our hunger and gave us energy to keep going. We also had a very delicious celebratory dinner in Aguas Calientes.
We are very pleased with the whole trip and would love to do this again with this group!

Action Peru is the perfect group to book tours in Peru. The planning and coordination was fantastic from roxner and during the hike day, our guide, Lino was very helpful, patient and easy to work with. The hike can be brutal for some people but Lino did a great job in supporting and planning for us. I highly recommend action Peru especially for first timers. They are fantastic for all group sizes.

I can’t see how my Machu Pichu expérience could have been better !
I usually never spend that much money for tours but the organization of those 2 days was so convenient that I only had to walk with my hands in my pockets without worrying of anything!
Our guide HIPO was super friendly and very professional, he allowed us to get a great 3 hours tour of the site, revealing all the secrets of this magic place.
I am for ever grateful !
Thank you HIPO and thank you Action Trek !
