Trekking through cloudforest, alpine meadows and high Andean passes to the Incan Sun Gate and that stunning first view of Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail is justly renowned as one of the most impressive treks in the world.
The number of permits available to trek the Inca Trail are restricted, and need to be purchased 4-5 months in advance.
This strict permit system has resulted in fewer people trekking the Inca Trail, which is a bonus for you! Money from permits has also improved the trail maintenance and campsite standards, allowing a better trekking experience all round!
There are alternative treks in this region that then take you to Machu Picchu by bus. But for your first sight of Machu Picchu to be that magical view from the Sun Gate, you have to trek the Inca Trail - and it's well worth it!
Book now to trek the classic Inca Trail! Raise money for any charity you choose or just pay your own costs!
There are still places on the following trips: 20 September - 29 September 2008 7 November - 16 November 2008
