Hike the Ancient Path to Machu Picchu
The Inca Trail is a 43-kilometer trek through the Andes that follows the original stone pathway built by the Inca Empire over 500 years ago. It passes through cloud forests, alpine tundra, and dozens of Inca ruins before culminating at the Sun Gate, your first view of Machu Picchu at sunrise.
Unlike other treks in Peru, the Classic Inca Trail requires a government-issued permit, limited to just 500 people per day (including guides and porters). The permit cap keeps the trail uncrowded. You share campsites with a handful of groups, not hundreds.
Our travel packages give you time to adjust to altitude while visiting Cusco, Lima, Arequipa, and Puno. Each package includes professional guides, porters, all meals on the trek, camping equipment, and guaranteed permits. We have guided over 5,000 trekkers since 2005.
