Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
The Inca Trail in Peru is a legendary trek that is considered one of the most iconic hiking routes in the world.
The trail is a 43-kilometer trek that winds its way through the Andes Mountains and culminates in the stunning ruins of Machu Picchu.
Do you know?
To hike the Inca Trail, visitors need to obtain a permit, which can be obtained through a licensed tour operator. The Peruvian government strictly controls the number of permits issued each year to help protect the trail and the fragile ecosystem around it.
The Inca Trail was originally built by the Incas more than 500 years ago and was used as a pilgrimage route to the sacred city of Machu Picchu

The highlight of the trek is, of course, the final destination: Machu Picchu. The site is one of the most famous and recognizable archaeological sites in the world, and it is truly breathtaking to see it in person after hiking the trail for four days.
Today, the trail attracts thousands of hikers every year who are drawn to its stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and rich cultural history.
