2-Day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

We did the 1 days in a trail and circuit 1 the first day and waynapicchu and circuit 3 the second day. Everything was well organized including the transportation, meals and hotel. Ronald was the best guide!

We did a custom 4d/3n short Inca trek with Sacred Valley tour and it was fantastic from start to finish. David and Alicja were both excellent in their communication prior to the tour starting and we felt in very safe and capable hands. They were flexible and willing to make adjustments based on our requests. David was an excellent guide who was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about Inca history but about Peruvian culture and modern history too. I really recommend using Andean Path if you're considering travel in Peru and the Cusco region

I loved my trip from start to finish. The communication prior to the trip was more detailed and personal than I have ever experienced before on any trip. I had a very thorough briefing the night before so I was well prepared. It was very handy that I got a duffle bag to put my stuff in that I didn' need for the hike itself but needed later for the overnight stay. That way I didn't have to carry everything and my things magically appeared in my hotel in Aguas Calientes. The trail itself is just beautiful. From the landscape to the inca sites along the way to the magical view of Machu Picchu at the end - it was a very special experience to me. The guide Melquiades was super knowledgeable and attentative. He made sure I had the best possible time. He was very patient so I could do the hike at my own pace, take lots of pictures etc. It was fun for me to practice my Spanish with him but his English is excellent so we quickly switched again. Wandering around Machu Picchu, he had so much knowledge to share, it blew my mind. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a little intimidated by the 4day Inca trail but wants to have a similar experience. Accomodation and food were great too so I felt well taken care of all around. As a solo traveller, it was perfect for me.

My trip was more than I could have expected! I am so grateful to experience the 2-day inka trail hike! And my tour guide Melquiades was amazing! He was so knowledgeable! He answered all our questions, knew all the best spots to take pictures, and was very patient with me when hiking! I recommend the 2-day inka trail hike also because we were able to get pictures of Huayna Picchu on a clear day and cloudy day, since the weather can be unpredictable.

Our tour of Machu Picchu with Melquiades (The homie Melky🤙🏽) was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the history and culture, and explained everything in a way that made it easy to connect with. At Machu Picchu, he showed us the best viewpoints, shared fascinating stories, and made the experience unforgettable. He was also very friendly, organized, and always made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and drinking enough water. I highly recommend Melquiades if you’re planning to visit Peru 🇵🇪 you won’t regret it!

The whole experience from the start of the brief with the manager to the hike and explanations of all the sites we visited were amazing. I highly recommend this tour group if you want someone local to provide an accurate account and a very safe path to visit Machu Picchu. Our guide, Melquiades was very patient and took us to some secret off the beaten path spots. He also was able to take some very good pictures of each of us at various stops

My friends and I completed the 2-day trek that included the short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (starting at Km 104) and climbed Huayna Picchu the following day. This experience exceeded all our expectations and was absolutely the highlight of our Peru trip. Our Guide Ricardo made all the difference. He was truly exceptional, his extensive knowledge of Inca culture and history transformed our trek from a simple hike into an immersive cultural journey. He didn’t just point out ruins; he shared captivating stories and historical context that helped us truly understand the significance of what we were witnessing. Beyond his expertise, Ricardo’s warm personality and attentiveness made our group feel completely at ease. He anticipated our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we had a stress-free, enjoyable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone considering an Inca Trail experience. The combination of expert guidance, flawless organization, and genuine care for their clients sets them apart from other operators.

Great experience! Our guide, Franklin was kind and knowledgeable. The accommodations were well thought through and well coordinated. Our group ended up being just our couple which made for a well paced hike and tour.

We had a great experience with Andean Path Travel, from the moment we approached them until the end of our experience in Cusco. David and his team were very helpful and made everything easy for us. We definitely recommend them!

I had the most incredible experience exploring Machu Picchu thanks to my amazing guide, David. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much insight that truly enriched the journey. Beyond that, he was easy to talk to, kind, and deeply supportive throughout the entire day. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and supported—especially during the more challenging parts of the climb. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a thorough and meaningful experience, gently encouraging and motivating me when I needed it most. So grateful for this unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend his guidance to anyone visiting Machu Picchu.
