A memorable Short Inca Trail experience

We did the Short Inca Trail as a couple with Wari Expeditions and really enjoyed the experience. The hike was moderately challenging, but we had time to take in the scenery along the way. Visiting Wiñay Wayna and arriving at Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate were highlights for us.

Excellent experience

The full-day tour to the Sacred Valley was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, from the punctual pick-up to the comfortable transportation. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the sites we visited, such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Moray, were absolutely breathtaking. The buffet lunch was also very good. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cusco!.
