Not everyone has four or five days available for a long trek in Peru. That is where the 2 days hike to Machu Picchu can be a good fit. With Andean Path Travel, the journey runs from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, with time to visit Machu Picchu before returning to Cusco. It is a 2-day, 1-night trip for small groups of 2–10 people and is suitable for ages 6+. The route is closed in February. For travellers coming from the USA, United Kingdom, or Canada, it offers a simple way to experience Machu Picchu without adding several trekking days to the itinerary.
