¿What is this two-day Inca Trail like?

The two-day Inca Trail covers 12 kilometers, from the start point to reaching Machu Picchu. In miles, it’s approximately 7.5 for the entire two-day Inca Trail. The first 6 kilometers consist of a gradual incline until reaching the mini Machu Picchu, which is the archaeological site of Wiñayhuayna. This part of the hike is not very difficult; it’s quite gentle with astonishing views of the Machu Picchu valley. The remaining 6 kilometers are relatively flat until reaching the Sun Gate. From this point, you can already see the city of Machu Picchu. The hike doesn’t end here; it continues from this point to Machu Picchu with a downhill walk. This shortened version of the Inca Trail is one of the highlights in the Andes of Peru.

¿Are there restrictions for Machu Picchu?

The restrictions apply to visiting Machu Picchu. When you purchase tickets, you always want to access circuits 1 and 2, where you can see the entire city of Machu Picchu. This is where the classic photos are taken, and everyone who visits this wonder wants to reach this point or these circuits 1 and 2. When you visit Machu Picchu directly by train, you need to ensure your tickets for these circuits. If you can’t get access to these two circuits for your visit, they will sell you circuits 2 and 3, where the visitor only sees the lower part and doesn’t get to see the entire city or have a spot to take the classic photos. They also sell tickets with specific time slots for visiting Machu Picchu. But if you do this 2-day trek, the short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, you don’t have these restrictions for your visit. On the second day, as a trekker, you can return at any time to have your guided tour of Machu Picchu.
