Classic Inca Trail — The Sacred Inca Route

The Inca Trail (Qhapaq Ñan) is the world's most famous trekking route and the most authentic way to arrive at Machu Picchu. Covering 43 km with a maximum altitude of 4,215 m at Dead Woman's Pass, this route combines archaeology, nature and adventure in an unmatched way. Only 500 daily permits are issued for the entire trail, guaranteeing an intimate experience without overcrowding.

Over 4 days you will cross five different climatic zones, visit little-known Inca ruins, and finish by entering Machu Picchu at sunrise through the Sun Gate.
