The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous trekking routes in Peru, known for its mountain scenery, ancient Inca sites, and the experience of reaching Machu Picchu on foot.
The Classic Inca Trail is the traditional 4-day, 3-night route, covering around 43 kilometers through high Andean passes, cloud forest, and archaeological sites such as Runkurakay and Sayacmarca. For travelers with less time, the 2-day Short Inca Trail starts at KM104 and includes Wiñay Wayna and the Sun Gate before arriving at Machu Picchu.
Travelers looking for a slower pace can choose the 5-day Inca Trail, which follows a similar route with shorter hiking days. There are also luxury and glamping options for those who prefer more comfort, while the Salkantay and Inca Trail trek is a longer and more challenging alternative.
Each route offers a different experience, but all combine hiking, Andean landscapes, Inca history, and the memorable arrival at Machu Picchu.
