Short Inca Trail Trek combos are the best of both worlds!
On an Inca Trail Combo Trek, you get to trek part or all of the of the Inca Trail combined with another popular trek such as the Lares or Salkantay Trek. Note, some combo treks include all of the Classic Inca Trail trek plus another trek and many include the 2 day or Short Inca Trail at the end of the trek. They have become quite popular and only a few Inca Trail Operators are offering them to their clients.
It is the only trek that passes through the Sun Gate directly to the Majestic Machu Picchu Citadel.
In addition, you get to enjoy the Lares Trek. This trek offers interactions with isolated indigenous communities, majestic glaciers, blue glacial lakes, waterfalls, and herds of llamas and alpacas. Or try the Salkantay Trek known for its white glacier tipped mountains, crystal clear blue lakes, and wildlife. If you want a true wilderness experience in the magnificent Andes Mountains this trek is for you. If you are looking for the best of both worlds, then combo treks are for you. All of them allow you to pass through the Sun Gate directly to the Machu Picchu Citadel. It is only possible when hiking the Inca Trail treks.
