Tour Description
The Inka trail is considered one of the most famous treks of the world, for along its route we may appreciate the ancestral cultural legacy of the Inkas -enigmatic pre-Hispanic culture-, as well as enjoying a great diversity of species of wild flora and fauna. All that takes place along this wonderful path, leading to the spectacular and beautiful sanctuary of Machupicchu that evokes the magnificence and importance of the Inka culture. That is why thousands of people wish to visit Machupicchu through the Inka trail, but unfortunately the capacity of the trail is limited, for reservations with much time in advance (at least six months) are required.
