OVERVIEW
Peru’s best-known hike, visited by thousands of tourists every year. This 43-KM 5- day Classic Inca Trail combines visits mysterious and religious Inca cities, amazing mountain scenery, lush cloud forests rich in Andean flora and fauna, and culminates in the Sacred Inca City of Machu Picchu! The 5 day program is an excellent alternative to avoid most of the crowds found on the 4 day classical route and to reach quieter, more beautiful campsites. It is also recommended for families with children and mature adults, as it gives an extra day for acclimatization to the altitude and the daily walking distance is shorter because its spread out better.
Please see the Inca Trail availability online and make sure that your preferred departure date or back up date are available. Live our experience and have a look at our equipment, packing checklist, and our meals which have been highlighted by our clients.
