The Inca Trail is definitely one of the most beautiful trails in America. And it takes you to an unforgettable destination: the archeological site of Machu Picchu. Follow me on a one-of-a-kind adventure hiking for 4 days in the Peruvian jungle.
This 4-day, 3-night program begins in Cusco. We’ll leave at 5.30am towards the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The hiking path begins at the Kilometer 82, after crossing the Rio Urubamba. The second day will be a bit harder as we go up the steps to the highest point of the trail: the Warmihuañusca Pass. The third day is the most beautiful of all going through a humid tropical rainforest, visiting lakes and ruins. And the best part: the third camping site has showers with hot water. On the fourth day, we’ll wake up very early to reach Inti Punku (Sun Gate) and enjoy the sunrise over Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu. After a 2-hour guided tour along the ruins of the Incas, you’ll have enough time to explore this outstanding place as you wish. You can read a more detailed description of the itinerary below.
So, what are you waiting for? Book your trip now and discover this amazing archeological city!
