Peru Tours, Inca Trail, Machu Picchu

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is beyond a doubt one of the most beautiful treks in South America, and around the world it is an unforgettable experience not to be missed. The Inca Trail leads through the protected wild nature of the Peruvian jungle and forest steppes, it passes several archaeological Inca sights and offers impressive views.

Machu Picchu, the very name evokes images of a fabulous lost city, hidden deep in the jungles of Peru. Most people who visit Peru take a trip to this site, and they usually travel there by train from Cusco, a wonderful journey by the banks of the Urubamba River, a tributary of the Amazon basin, passing beneath towering mountains and through misty cloud forest. However, there is another way of reaching the site, and that is by hiking the Inca Trail over the mountains in four days, finally descending into the lost city from the Sun Gate at the end of the fourth day.
