The trek starts at Km 104 (104 kilometers along the railway from Cusco) and involves a four hour walk uphill to Wiñay Wayna and a couple of hours further to Machu Picchu
Tour: Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in 2 days
I spent six weeks in Perú and this trip was the absolute highlight for following reasons:
All in all: I really recommend doing the inca trail and booking it with this company.
The Lares trek is one of the main alternatives to the Inca Trail and Salkantay Trek, is a shorter leisurely walk, is close to the city of Cusco, besides that there is no special permits for the tour, also is quieter than the Inca Trail and we have for you the classic 4 day hike that we assure you that you will love it very much.
