Overview
The Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is Peru’s most iconic trek leading to the Sacred Inca City of Machu Picchu. The classical 43-km (26.8-mile) trek follows a cobblestone path that departs from the fertile grounds near the Sacred Valley of the Incas, at 2,800 masl (9,128 ft), and ascends to the infamous Dead Woman’s Pass at 4,200 masl (13,776 ft), above the vegetation line. It then follows to other valleys and mountain passes, threading past fascinating archaeological sites built in unbelievable locations with impeccable techniques, slowly winding down into a lush cloud forest rich in Andean flora and fauna. The combination of the gorgeous mountain scenery, the mysterious ruins and the very special energy of the area makes this trek an experience of a lifetime.
Our local operator experienced staff of trekking guides enrich the days with their knowledge and sharing, covering diverse topics such as Inca history, archaeology, architecture, social structure, economy, politics, astronomy, and fascinating traditions and beliefs. Lodging is within designated and authorized campsites along the route, and Machu Picchu is reached at sunrise on the fourth day.
