What the American Hiram Bingham did in 1911, you can do in 21st century comfort. You can rediscover the lost sun-god temple of the Incas - Machu Picchu. When the Incas decided to build Machu Picchu, they chose a heavenly place. So, in a certain way, the Inca Trail is a road to heaven. Many hikers consider it to be the most wonderful trail on earth. All hikers are welcome; the Inca Trail is not difficult. Our package guarantees comfort and intense adventure.
Please let us know as soon as possible if interested in the Inca Trail. It can get booked up quickly as the number of people entering the trail daily is restricted. Only 500 people per day are allowed to enter the 4-Day Inca Trail or the 2- Day Inca Trail. Permits are regulated by local authorities and it is best to secure your Inca Trail permit at least 3 months in advance. In the high season (June/July/August) it is best to secure your Inca Trail permit at least 5 months in advance. If you are seriously considering hiking the Inca Trail, contact us for more information; it is never too soon to book.

| Day 1: Begin the Inca Trail | ||||||||||||||||||
You will be picked up from your hotel and taken on a bus ride to Chillca. From there you will hike to Wayllabamba. The first day the trail leads along the Urubamba River, offering you spectacular views of snow-capped mountains and stunning vegetation. |

||||||||||||||||||
| Day 4: Arrival to Machu Picchu | ||||||||||||||||||
You arrive at the Inca “Sun Gate” just before sunrise, the fog lifts and you are looking down onto Machu Picchu just as the Incas did centuries before you. The sight is awe inspiring - a sprawling temple bathed in sunlight. You are now able to visit the site and see the carved hitching post of the sun, the contoured walls fitting into every curve of the natural rock, the amazing jigsaw puzzle of individual building blocks in which no mortar was used and which have withstood centuries of earthquakes, the steep thousand meter high mountain- up which these blocks were raised- high above the valleys, the intricate irrigation system and terraced fields. This structured, intricate citadel is in complete contrast to the wild vision of mountain tops and gorges. Although you surely will not yet be ready to, in the afternoon you can take a comfortable train back to Cuzco, or as an option, you may stay overnight in Machu Picchu- which we highly recommend.
