Classic Inca Trail
TREK THE CLASSIC INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU
EXPLORE FASCINATING CUSCO
DISCOVER THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS
IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO TREKKING IN PERU
This classic short trek follows Inca paths through stunning Andean scenery and forests wrapped in cloud to the mysterious Machu Picchu. Flying to Cusco (3400m), the capital of the Inca Empire, the air is crisp and thin. We take our time gradually acclimatising while we explore Cusco’s temples and churches and some of the many Inca sites found here.
Our four-day trek along the Inca Trail is an ideal introduction to trekking in Peru. Although short it is impressive, as the trail links several isolated ruins and crosses three high passes, the highest being Dead Woman’s Pass (4200m). We travel from barren grassland through cloud forest and encroaching jungle and up and down steep stone steps until we finally arrive at Intipunku, the Gateway to the Sun, where Machu Picchu can be seen spread out magnificently below. We spend a full morning absorbing the atmosphere of this extraordinary site before taking the train back to Cusco. Back in Cusco there is time to explore the Spanish tavernas, the colourful markets where Quechua Indians come to buy and sell local produce or relax in the many cafes and restaurants listening to Andean music before flying home.
