The Most Emblematic Hiking Route to Machu Picchu

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is an experience that combines history, nature, and adventure at every step. Our high-quality tours offer you the opportunity to experience this ancient journey through stunning Andean landscapes and unique archaeological sites.

The 2-day Short Inca Trail is ideal for those with less time. Although it's faster, it offers incredible views, historical sites, and entry to Machu Picchu through the famous Sun Gate. On the other hand, the 4-day Classic Inca Trail is perfect for those seeking total immersion in the sacred route of the Incas.

Beyond the physical effort, what lingers is the thrill of hiking a trail steeped in cultural significance, surrounded by the spectacular Andes and the enduring legacy of the Inca Empire. Whichever option you choose, what remains is the excitement of having reached Machu Picchu, one of the 7 Wonders of the World, along the Inca Trail.
