What is the Inca Trail?

The Classic Inca Trail Trek is known as one of the world’s ten best hikes. The trail was built by the Incas over 900 years ago to connect their capital city of Cusco to the Sacred Citadel of Machu Picchu.

This challenging 4-day hike offers trekkers incredible vistas of Andean glacial peaks to tropical forests as they walk this historical trail of 26 miles through the Sun Gate to the legendary Machu Picchu Citadel.

Besides the Classic Inca Trail there are additional options of 1, 2, or 5-day treks to allow all travelers the ability to experience a part of this incredible trek. The Classic Inca Trail is unparalleled for its ecological diversity and wealth of archaeological treasures.

The Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu is one of the most amazing hikes in the world! This historically renowned trail was built approximately 900 years ago by the Incas to connect their capital city of Cusco to the Sacred Citadel of Machu Picchu.

Why is very important Inca Trail Treks?

Walk-In Peru is incredible; through the cloud forests with Andean animals and mountain climbs, Inca ruins accessible only if you follow the Inca trail route.

inca trail is very important

What makes it important is when you pass the Puerta del sol and see Far Machu Picchu from afar, a building high in the mountains, whose purpose is a mystery kept by the Incas.

Every year thousands of tourists arrive to venture on the Inca trail, and at the end of the route, they want to know more about the Incas (There is much more to know, Cusco is full of ruins).

where does inca trail start and end?

Today tourists start their hike from KM82, which is located along the railway leading to the town just south of Machu Picchu, Aguas Calientes. This challenging hike offers trekkers incredible vistas of the Andes as they travel the total distance of 45km /26 miles.

Make sure you have the original passport in hand so you can start the Inca trail. At the beginning of the walk it is easy because there is not much climb until you reach Patallacta, after 2 hours.

Understandably, access to the Inca Trail is extremely regulated by the Peruvian government. Entrance to the trail is restricted by a permit process and only 500 permits are issued per day.

Everybody entering the trail, trekkers and trekking staff, needs a permit so they sell out quickly. A typical day on the trail consists of approximately 200 trekking tourists and 300 trekking staff made up of guides, chef’s and porters.

10/10 Amazing experience If you’re thinking about which agency to use, look no further- Ray and Jimmy went well above and beyond and made this a memorable, safe, fun, and professional experience.Ray is the most knowledgeable guide I’ve ever had in any country for any excursion - during both the Short Inka Trail and the actual tour of Machu Picchu, Ray’s expertise shined through in his ability to give us a detailed background on every aspect of the history, climate, nature, flora, animals.. anything! Likewise, Ray and Jimmy were truly the friendliest, kindest hosts that I could have imagined our group having. Thank you both so much and I will definitely book with you again if (when) I come back!

Awesome experience!! Did the 2 day Inca trail with Ray and Jimmy they were great and knowledgeable. Ray not only guided us along trail to Machu Picchu but also was an excellent photographer and taught us the history. It was a group of 10 and we had a great time. Even everything going on in Peru, we always felt in good hands.

Short Inca Trial (2-Day) This tour was the perfect experience for our (group of 10) short trip to Peru. The trail was sometimes challenging, but the views and history made it all worth it. Ray and Jimmy were our guides and imparted sooo much knowledge about the history of Peru, Inca, and beyond. I would definitely recommend!

Machu Picchu and Inca Trail Hike My favorite part of the tour was certainly hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Ray and Jimmy. We learned about the culture, the history, and shared some laughs along the way. I would definitely recommend bringing snacks and lots of water — it will slow to easily get through the trail.

Great 2-day Inca trail experience We had a great 2-day Inca Trail with Miguel, our guide, and Orange Nation. The team was flexible and advised us on the best way to get to do the trip despite some political difficulties at the time. They went over and above to get us on the best schedule, help with the luggage and making everything go smoothly. We were lucky with the weather but also the design of the trip was really good as we got to see Machu Picchu both without people and in full sun :) Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable, great storyteller, fun, and very calm, we didn’t stress with anything, we were always on time and knew exactly what to do. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed a glimpse into the world of the Inca :)
