This is our best hike if you do not like to take long drives and instead enjoy a 2 day trekking near Cusco, visiting beautiful local villages and the impressive Huchuyqosqo Ican archeological site. This is the most recommended way to go from Cusco to the Sacred valley. This trekking is suitable for people who like treks and who are adventurous.

My husband and I wanted to do a short hike to Machu Picchu and were thrilled to find this 2 day private tour. Our guide Ricardo was fantastic! He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending 2 days with him. He took care of everything and all went smoothly. We would absolutely recommend him! Although advertised as a 4 hour hike, it took us twice that time. While we are very fit for our age (50s), we are not hikers and we found the 700m rise over 8 km challenging (then 4 km relatively flat and down). The views were fantastic and it was exciting to walk the Inca trail. Ricardo motivated us to the end. All the way he told us about the flora, history of the Incas and we chatted on a wide range of topics. The box lunch was super. That night we stayed in a great hotel (we were upgraded thank you). The next day we watched the sun rise over MP and spent the entire morning visiting this wonderful site with Ricardo. We are very interested in ancient cultures and Ricardo explained everything to the detail we wanted. Our driver Carlos was wonderful. He was super friendly and navigated the roads with ease. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!! We highly recommend this tour.

The entire tour was well organized, a detailed schedule was provided in advance and adhered to during the entire tour. My guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting details about inkan history while we walked towards Machu Picchu. The guide let me walk at my own pace, I never felt rushed. On arrival in Aguas Calientes I got an upgrade to the Machu Pueblo Hotel, the local top hotel. The next day we "discovered" Machu Pichu in more detail, gently avoiding the large crowds of group tourists.
A unique experience!

We spent an afternoon and the following morning, having booked our entry tickets six months ahead of time. First day we walked up, 2.5 hours walk, but then bus down and back up again in the morning.
Book early, fantastic place, but make sure you are health and can walk for few hours. Take plenty of water.
