About This Tour
The appeal of the SHORT INCA TRAIL MACHU PICCHU is the stunning cultural show of Inca ruins, exotic side by side mountains, primitive lush vegetation and extraordinary ecological varieties. The “the ancient Inca road” goes through the National Park and enters through the Sun Gate with unforgettable views of Machu Picchu, through cloud pitted forest and finally into subtropical vegetation. People hiking the short Inca Trail Machu Picchu have the privilege of visiting famous Machu Picchu Citadel twice, at the end of the day of their hike, and when they return to Machu Picchu the following the day.
