What you'll do
The famous "Inca Trail" to Machu Picchu is one of the best trekking routes in South America. You can walk in the footsteps of our noble Inca ancestors to their incredible Inca fortress, Machu Picchu, and dare to discover its secrets. The "Inca Trail" is where the more daring choose to hike to Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along this route, you'll have the opportunity to visit unique archaeological sites that can only be accessed on foot. You'll also be immersed in the stunning Andean mountain scenery and dense vegetation. You'll face challenges along the way, but you'll receive the most incredible reward when you enter the Sun Gate and get your first glimpse of the mystical Machu Picchu. If you're looking for an adventure in Peru, consider the "Inca Trail" as an option to reach this wonderful destination.
