Summary
Our Machu Picchu trek includes 7 days and 6 nights in Peru following lush Peruvian paths along the classic Inca Trail. We will visit the breathtaking “Lost City of the Incas”. It has been more than 100 years since explorer Hiram Bingham first discovered the existence of Machu Picchu, and the majesty of the citadel has not diminished since.
As modern-day adventurers, we begin our trip with a day introduction to the former Inca capital of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. Spend some time becoming familiar with the altitude of the region, visiting iconic ruins and traversing well-preserved cobblestone streets. Our journey along the Inca trail begins from there. We will climb through beautiful mountain valleys filled with wild orchids and rainbow-colored mosses. Cap each evening off with good conversation and deluxe camping accommodations.
The journey along the trail comes to a close as we descend 2,000 stone-cut steps and approach the Gate of the Sun. Just beyond this magnificent viewpoint lie the glories of Machu Picchu. Experience the peace and solitude of these incomparable ruins before departing back home from Cusco.
