Experience Inca Trail Day Trips & Sightseeing Tours

The classic Inca Trail begins just outside of Ollantaytambo in Sacred Valley, and ends at Sun Gate at Machu Picchu. The trek normally takes four or five days to complete, passing through several distinct ecosystems including cloud forest, alpine tundra and tropical rainforest; and myriad Inca ruins and tunnels along the trail. The highest point is reached at Abra Warmiwanusca, or Dead Woman's Pass, roughly 13,800 feet above sea level. Be sure to book your spot well in advance, because tighter restrictions on the daily number of hikers have now made it even harder to secure a place on a guided trek. The Inca Trail is normally closed for maintenance in February, which also happens to be the wettest (and least desirable) month of the year.
