Overview
This incredible adventure on the famous Inca Trail is an unforgettable experience for those who only had a short time in Peru.
The famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the ten best walks globally because of its exquisite natural beauty and panoramic views. This Inca trail leads us to cross many archaeological centers, ecosystems, mountain ranges (dwarf forest), and a high jungle region that holds impressive refuge of flora and fauna.
This adventure ends with a hypnotizing, jaw-dropping “Sunrise” of the 7th wonder of the World, Machu Picchu.
CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of two (02) days to acclimate before considering beginning your adventure package to Machu Picchu.
