Hiking the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a fantastic option for those who don't have the time or desire to hike the full length of the Inca Trail. With beautiful scenery, a wide variety of flora and fauna on display and a visit to the Inca Trail's most beautiful site (Wiñay Wayna), you get to enjoy the all the best bits of the Inca Trail condensed in to a one day walk. Covering a distance of just 10km / 6.3 miles, the 2 day Inca Trail is not too challenging which makes it perfect for families with children and those on a tight schedule. For Head Expedition Peru there are 2 very important things, the environment and the family, and we know that if you join the 2, such a wonderful experience as this can multiply exponentially its beauty.
