Inca Trail Challenge One Day

One Day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu? Is it possible?
Machu Picchu, one of the new seven wonders of the world, is high on the list of dream destinations for everyone.
There are several ways to reach this wonderful site, you can choose to take the 4-day classic Inca Trail, 5-day Salkantay Trek, Lares Trek or other treks to reach this place, at the same time you can choose to take the train and the bus (the easiest way), however, there are many outdoor adventure enthusiasts who want to do the multi-day treks, but cannot due to limited time, so this Machu Picchu 1-day trek is perfect. For them, where you do not miss anything on the short Inca Trail of 2 days, that is, it is the same path, only that the walk can be a little more demanding than normal.
