The World famous Inca trail to Machu Picchu is South America’s best hiking experience.

Inca trail to Machupicchu 4days -3nights

The Inca trail (Cápac Ñan, in Quechua) is the name of the road built by the Incas that connected all the different parts of their vast empire. During the time of the Inca’s, Cusco was the center of the Inca Empire and these trails connected Cusco with Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and the North of Argentina.  Today many of the trails that connected to other countries have disappeared, deteriorated or been overgrown with forest.

The main trail still existing from Incan Empire is the famous Inca trail.  It is 82 kilometres in length and runs from Piscacucho and crosses the ancient towns of Huayllabamba, Warmiwañuska, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Wiñaywayna, Intipunku and finally connects to the Lost City of the Incas(the Citadel of Machu Pichu). These trails will take you roughly four days hike.
