Peru: The Inca Trail is The Most Famous Trek in South America

The Inca Trail is by far the most famous trek in South America and is rated by many to be in the top 5 treks in the world.

This 4-day trek is the only one to take you along the original Inca Trail; an authentic hand-built stone footpath where you will walk in the footsteps of ancient Inca royalty.

In just 26 miles (43km) it manages to combine beautiful mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest, subtropical jungle and, of course, a stunning mix of Inca paving stones, ruins and tunnels. The final destination of the trail just cannot be beaten: Machu Picchu, the mysterious “Lost City of the Incas”.

And it is the most spectacular Inca archaeological site in South America!
