Basic Trail Description
The Inca Trail is renowned for the fact that it is a trail in the remote high Andes mountains of Peru; linking a number of unique ancient ruins of cities built by the Inca civilization of previous centuries.
The trail can be accessed from various points along the rail road from Cusco to Machu Picchu. It can be walked as a 2 to 5 day trail the total length being only approximately 30 km. It however transverses high mountain passes (up to 4257m.a.s.l.).
The scenery is awesome with high snow capped peaks and deep valleys. The
campsites are however crowded and in the wet season muddy. The best period
of the year is from March to September as the scenery is often hidden
due to rain and dense clouds. Guides, porters and cooks are available
