The ruins of Machu Picchu (the lost city of the Incas), rediscovered in 1911 by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham, are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in the world.
We have two different Inca Trails to Machu Picchu:The first one is the classical 4 day program of 43-km trek leading to the Sacred Inca City of Machupicchu combines the visit of mysterious archaeological sites, amazing mountain scenery and lush cloud forest rich in Andean flora and fauna. Machupicchu is reached at sunrise on the fourth day.
And the second one is a 2 day program that covers a 13-km Inca Trail, joining the classical 4 day route at the impressive archaeological site of WiƱaywayna, continuing through the famous Inti Punku or Sun Gate, and finally devoting the second day to a full day visit of the world-famous Inca citadel of Machupicchu. This program is recommended for those having less time or those looking to hike a shorter version of the Inca Trail without camping.
