The Iconic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Trilha de 4 dias, com pontos de apoio no caminho. Incrível!! Vale muito a pena!

The 1-day Inca Trail tour was perfect for our busy schedule, and what an unforgettable experience! Inca Trail Expeditions took care of every detail, and the guides were incredibly friendly. It was a perfect way to enjoy Machu Picchu in a short amount of time - thank you for making it possible!

Inca Trail Expeditions exceeded all my expectations. Everything was very well organized and the Inca Trail tour was simply spectacular. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and the equipment was well prepared to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. highly recommended!

I had the best experience of my life with Inca Trail Expeditions. From the first contact, the whole team was super attentive. The guides were passionate and knowledgeable about the history and culture of the place. The hike was challenging, but the views made it all worthwhile. I couldn't have asked for a better adventure!

Visited in 2005 The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu  is a hiking trail in Peru that leads to Machu Picchu. It consists of three overlapping trails: Mollepata, Classic, and One Day. Mollepata is the longest of the three routes with the highest mountain pass. Located in the Andes mountain range, the trail passes through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra. Starting at 2,600 metres, the trail ascends to 3,300 metres on the first day. The second day ascends over Dead Woman's pass- the highest point on the Inca Trail at 4,200 metres. This is the most dangerous point for altitude sickness, though little time is spent at this elevation and the trail descends again to 3,600 metres. The trail only descends from this point until arriving at Machu Picchu at 2,430 metres. Settlements, tunnels, and many Incan ruins are located along the trail. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 4,200 metres (13,800 ft) above sea level, which can result in altitude sickness, or for me asthma meant that I walked for two days, but could not make it up the last mountain climb... it was a few hours to Machu Picchu, but I had to turn back and walk back to the start of the trail and get a lift to the town and proceed to Machu Picchu from there - was devastating disappointment at the time. ... but did get to visit the site. Today I received a lovely email from the Inca Trail - thank you very much and yes indeed I would love to visit again and complete the trail. I have travelled throughout the world and the Inca Trail is by far th emost rewarding and outstanding visit. Highly recommended - Enjoy !
