Huchuy Qosqo Trek to Machu picchu 2 days

Huchuy qosqo trek to Machu picchu 2 days hiking is easily the shortest of the treks and is best suited for those

with a limited amount of time, but who would still like to do a bit of trekking before they see Machu Picchu with fantastic views of mountains and the Andes. It is the lowest in altitude (4350 meters) of the alternative treks and also the shortest in distance (17 kilometers) but still sees some great examples of Inca Stairs and other Inca ruins along the way.
