Portada » About Peru » Inca Trail
Inca trails over the mountains, on a road with landscapes of indescribable Andean beauty that crosses, throughout the days that this adventure lasts, archaeological centers that can only be reached by it; that is the Inca Trail. With a controlled capacity of visitors, per month and per year, there is no visitor who does not wish to walk it.

Machu Picchu was communicated with the city of Cusco and the rest of the Inca empire through roads of excellent structure, with ergonomic design, were built in strict harmony with the natural environment and have great aesthetics in its construction. Many of the roads are ledges on the edge of the abyss and are surrounded by beautiful landscapes with lush and varied vegetation. In some sections the road is carved directly into the rock. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is considered one of the most spectacular trekking routes on the planet and is the best known of the Inca trails.
