Inca Trail Tours to Machu Picchu

Choose your Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu

All our Inca Trail tours follow the original Inca path and reach Machu Picchu through Inti Punku, the Sun Gate. What changes is how many days you spend on the trail and where you sleep.

• Classic Inca Trail 4 Days: the full route from Km 82, over Dead Woman’s Pass (Warmiwañusca) and past Wiñay Wayna, with three nights of camping.
• Inca Trail 5 Days: the same trail at a slower pace, with a stop in Ollantaytambo, campsites at Llactapata, Llulluchapampa and Phuyupatamarca, a night in Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu on day five.
• Short Inca Trail 2 Days with hotel: one day of hiking from Km 104 past Wiñay Wayna to the Sun Gate, a night in a hotel in Aguas Calientes and a guided visit of Machu Picchu the next morning.
