    This popular Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with camping hike incorporates a significant portion of the Classic Inca Trail but in a shorter time frame! But that doesn't mean this is not a great trek on its own merits! On this hike, you will tour an Inca Ruin, Chachabamba, which is not seen on any other trek. You will also see a waterfall that is so gorgeous it can’t be described! This version of the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with camping includes one-night camping at the base of Machu Picchu (Puente Ruinas) and two meals prepared by our gourmet chef.
