Machu Picchu: Sacred Valley + Short Inca Trail

Three days that combine the Sacred Valley's ruins and markets with a short but proper stretch of the Inca Trail, ending at Machu Picchu the way it was meant to be reached — on foot, through the Sun Gate.

Day one takes you round the valley's main sites before the hike itself, a walk through cloud forest past the ruins of Wiñay Wayna. You reach Machu Picchu in time to see it at sunset, then go back the next morning for sunrise before heading home.

The return leg is on the Vistadome train, with large windows for the valley and mountain scenery on the way back.
