About this experience

What sets our Classic 4-Day Inca Trail tour apart is the personalized, worry-free experience we provide. From permits and campsites to meals and logistics, our team handles every detail so you can focus on the adventure of hiking the legendary paths built by the Incas centuries ago.

Over four days, you’ll be guided by an expert professional, available in private service or small groups, who will bring the history and culture of the Inca Trail to life. As you trek through breathtaking landscapes of cloud forests, sacred mountains, and ancient archaeological sites, our porters and chefs ensure your comfort with freshly prepared meals and well-organized camps.

The journey ends with an unforgettable reward: entering Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where the first panoramic view of the citadel unfolds before you.
