Don't miss the original
classic pilgrimage trail to Machu Picchu. New regulations
limit the number of people on the Inca Trail and make
the experience even more memorable. Inca Trail permits
are issued on a first come, first served basis and are
non-transferable. To ensure your spot we recommend that
you reserve at least 150 days in advance! |
Enjoy two nights in Machu Picchu!

We begin our mountain marathon on the ancient Inca trail that leads to the legendary lost city of Machu Picchu - an extraordinary adventure into the history of the grand Inca civilization. Along the way, we explore the intriguing ruins of Inca fortresses, and enjoy the expansive views from the high passes. Descending to the Sun Gate and Machu Picchu, the cloud forest trail becomes increasingly lush and varied. After two days exploring Machu Picchu — one of the world's most spectacular ruins — we take a train ride back to Cusco.
