Machu Picchu is a once-in-a-lifetime, truly unforgettable experience.
Trekking in Peru is an amazing and rewarding experience. Whether you are an active individual seeking an alternative route of getting to Machu Picchu or an experienced hiker who loves exploring off the beaten path, the variety of treks in Peru will take your level of adventure to new heights… literally!
4 Day Inca Trail
This is the most common trek for hikers wanting to arrive in Machu Picchu. The classic Inca Trail starts near the village of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, just outside of Cusco. The trek is done over a period of four days and while on the trail you will have the opportunity to visit many historic locations, archaeological sites, and ancient villages. On the morning of the fourth day, you have the option to wake up early and begin hiking while it is still dark so that you arrive into Inti Punku (the Sun Gate) of Machu Picchu to see the sunrise.
2 Day Inca Trail
This is a great option for travellers who want to enjoy the experience of hiking to Machu Picchu yet are short on time or prefer the idea of a more moderate hike. You will start your journey by taking an hour and a half train ride to Chacchabamba where you begin the trail. You will walk for about six hours before arriving into Inti Punku (the Sun Gate). Depending on your pace it is possible to arrive into Machu Picchu at dusk, in time to see the sunset.
It is important to note that the Inca trail is the most popular trek in Peru. So if you are seeking a path less travelled you’ll want to consider one of the alternatives.
However please note for Macchu Picchu trek, you have to book well in advance as they have limited the number of people each day! Contact our office for further details.
