Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Peru · Lima to Cusco
Overview
The classic 43 km trek to Machu Picchu, with permits secured months in advance. Our porters are paid fairly, carry legal loads and cook three hot meals a day on the trail.
We add two days in the Sacred Valley before the trek so you acclimatise gently, and a second visit to Machu Picchu after the crowds have left.
