I did the One day Inca Trail as a solo traveler with Elvis, and this was really a wonderful day. I must say, one of the most memorable days of all the trips I have ever made.
Everything was perfectly explained before the hike. I was staying in Ollantaytambo the night before to be able to wake up a bit later, I was picked up on time at 5:30 am.
The explanations given by Elvis during the trail and the Machu Picchu were really clear and interesting.
The snacks and the meal provided were very tasty.
I initially hesitated between the 2-day and 1-day trail, and I didn't regret choosing the 1-day version because I like to walk at a good rhythm, and we had plenty of time to explore Machu Picchu thoroughly. And then visiting and having dinner in Aguas Calientes in the afternoon.
I really liked the hike, especially the Wiñayhuayna site where there was no other tourist.
It is such an experience to discover the Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, and having lunch while contemplating it.
The price includes the Vistadome train in the afternoon which is nice. Then a driver was waiting at the train station to drive back to Cusco.
But it is still a very long day, we arrived at Cusco at 10:30 pm (and I had issues with my hotel afterwards, but that's another story), so you need to be well rested and prepared.
So I could not recommend Kenko Adventures enough!
Thanks again Elvis!
