Trek the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Choose from the classic 4 and 5-day routes to shorter 1 and 2-day options.
The Inca Trail is the only route that reaches Machu Picchu on foot through its original entrance, the Sun Gate, which is why the Peruvian government limits daily permits sold months in advance. The classic 4-day route crosses cloud forest, archaeological sites like Runkurakay and Wiñay Wayna, and the demanding Dead Woman's Pass at 4,215 meters, before a sunrise descent into the citadel. We also offer the short 2-day version for travelers with less time who still want to walk through that gate. Book at least 4 to 6 months ahead, especially between May and August — daily permits are capped and sell out first in high season.
