The Inca Trail Trek in Peru, with breath taking landscapes, stunning scenery and mysterious Inca sites, is one of the most famous footpaths in the world.
Starting in the Inca Capital of Cusco, your first day is spent acclimatising to the 3,200m altitude by taking a trek around the famous Inca sites surrounding Cusco. Following this it’s off to conquer the original Inca Trail that leads to the majestic Sun Gate, and then onto the fascinating ruins of Machu Picchu!
This classic Inca Trail encompasses 3 high mountain passes – the highest being 4,200m. This trek will be tough but rewarding, witness the sight of Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, the breath taking views across the Andes, and experiencing the history and culture of the Incas, your efforts will be more than worthwhile.
