Description of Inca Trail
This is an unforgettable experience in which you can see many diverse landscapes and scenary as well as adventuring up ladders, through tunnels and over old wooden bridges. To complete the tour, you will visit the incredible archaeological site of Machu Picchu.
The roads varied in quality and size. In the flatlands and highlands the roads ran from 6-8 meters wide, while in the steep mountains the stone roads narrowed to one meter, but were deft at defying the aggressive steep slopes of the Andes.
Information about Inca Trail
The Inca Trail is the best-known stretch, a road that 90% of trekkers take from Kilometer 88 of the railway line to Machupicchu. However, this is not the only route there are others that take a day or two to walk to areas near the valley, paths that run through picturesque landscapes in the area.
There are kilometers of ancient roads that still exist. One of them is to be found on the Cusco-Abancay route 3 km. from the town of Arco. There is another near the community of Qhorqa, approximately 20 km. West of Cusco. The route from Juch`uy Qosqo, in the province of Calca, features another Inca road. Many of these roads were built so well that they are still used today.
This is our selection of Inca Trail hikes to Machu Picchu Peru, Choquequirao and Ausangate, the walking adventures following the Bingham's footsteps.
Machu Picchu History goes hundred of years behind our modern world, but still hardly a modern construction gets to mesmerize visitors as this Inca citadel
