# Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu - 2 Days (Private Tour)

**Guidekin's take:** Hike via Wiñay Wayna and the Sun Gate before an overnight stop in Aguas Calientes on a private tour for your party. Hotel transfers, return train tickets and a guided Machu Picchu visit are included; you carry your own backpack. 5 from 32 reviews at €828 per person for 2 days.

In our comparison: #36 of 62 in Inca Trail Treks, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Experience the most iconic section of the Inca Trail in just two unforgettable days. Begin at Kilometer 104 and hike along original Inca stone paths through lush cloud forest, visiting the stunning ruins of Wiñay Wayna before arriving at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) for your first breathtaking view of Machu Picchu. Few moments compare to seeing the Lost City of the Incas appear beneath you.

Spend the night in Aguas Calientes, then return the next morning for a guided exploration of Machu Picchu’s temples, terraces, and sacred spaces.

Perfect for active travelers short on time, this adventure blends history, culture, and rewarding hiking. Permits are limited and sell out quickly — book early to secure your spot on this bucket-list journey.
