The impressive Inca Trail winds its way through the mountains to Machu Picchu, taking four days.

On the journey trekkers pass diverse landscapes and more than 30 Inca sites, a striking combination of ancient ruins, magnificent mountain views, and extraordinary ecological variation.

The centuries-old trail was part of an extensive network of roads built by the Incas to connect their large empire and is today the best preserved. Hiking the Inca Trail will allow you to absorb the ceremonial importance of the various sites along the way as they ascend in hierarchical order, culminating at Machu Picchu.
