One of the most remarkable achievements of the golden age of the Inca and Pre- Inca civilization and perphaps its greatest mystery is Machu Picchu. Each year it is the mecca for its increasing number of visitors but only few make the journeys along the ancient Inca Trail which is part of a network of at least 30,000 km. of main paved roads the Incas built along the Empire. These roads were greatest features of engineering and so well construted that large sections still survive despite centuries of neglect.
The classic Inca Trail is a four-day hike that ends at Machu Picchu. This trek is an incredible 43-kilometer adventure that follows the ancient footsteps of the Incas. Along the way, you’ll explore magnificent ruins, cross a 4,200-meter-high mountain pass, and enjoy breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks while walking through cloud forests near the Amazon rainforest. One of the most unforgettable moments is seeing Machu Picchu for the first time from Inti Punku, the Sun Gate. At that moment, you’ll know you’ve finally reached the legendary Wonder of the World: Machu Picchu.
