The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is widely regarded as one of the best hikes in the world. It is also one of the most approachable, as no special skills are required to complete it – although good health and fitness will certainly help you make the journey from the trailhead to Machu Picchu.

Despite its length, the route is incredibly diverse and captivating: along the way you will encounter fascinating ruins, snow-capped peaks, beautiful waterfalls, and lush jungle. At the end of the trail, you will pass through the Sun Gate for your first glimpse of Machu Picchu – an unforgettable view of the ruins from above at their most breathtaking.
The government has preserved a portion of the thousands of miles of original Inca trails for this classic hike. This popular route covers 26 miles and takes four days to complete. Travel and book with confidence through the #1 local Inca Trail tour operator in Cusco.

Anonymous | Traveled in September
This trip had a great mix of trekking and learning about Peruvian culture and Inca history. The views were incredible and there are so many Inca sites along the way. The food was an absolute standout!
Yfat Y | Traveled in September
The trail was epic ! The best experience of my life ! Our guide Lucy managed logistics very well. She was knowledgeable and kept us moving together well. Our chef, Wenceslao needs to be crowned as the star of the trip. I’m vegan and he made me food that exceeded any expectations and beyond. How he made such delicious meals on top of a mountain baffles me. Shout out to all the porters of #5 for their superhero power of getting our gear up the mountains.

This trip provides a fantastic combination of challenging remote trekking on the Salkantay section and over the Inca Chiriasca pass, the traditional Inca Trail with amazing site of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate, plus many fascinating Inca sites which were brought to life by our exceptional and knowledgeable leader, Edwind. The food on the trek was superb - big shout out to our amazing chefs - plus meals out in Cusco were a revelation, with beautifully presented, tasty options.
Aliana L. | Traveled in August
The activities were all jam packed and amazing, everyone loved it. The only issue was the Peru hop transportation as the lack of a private bus took away the magic of travelling together.
Debora C | Traveled in August
If you’re ready for a challenging hike at elevation, and you want to see some of the most remarkably unspoiled ruins in South America; this is the trip for you!
Stacey G | Traveled in August
This trip is one I could never have taken by myself. There were no logistical worries usually associated with travel. The service was excellent when I missed my flight and had to change my transport. The experiences are unique to G Adventures because of their connections to the local communities. This is a trip of a lifetime and there are so many others available all over the world. A friend who has done quite a bit of traveling recommended G Adventures. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore the world, have a distinctive experience, with no hassle. You can just enjoy the trip! I want to stress that this is primarily due to Nestor along with the help of chef Florentino and Delfin. Absolutely outstanding in every way.
