Machu Picchu

THE INCA TRAIL

Snaking high above the Sacred Valley the popular Inca Trail leads hikers to Machu Picchu - the fabled Lost City of the Incas.  During a four of five day trek hikers traverse a variety of microclimates, from an arid cactus zone, through native Polylepis forest and bleak high altitude grassland, to bromeliad and moss-festooned cloud forest, all set against a back drop of stunning snow-capped peaks.  Scattered along this everchanging landscape are intricate ceremonial settlements including the magnificent temple of Winay Wayna.

Recommended itinerary: Inca Trail and Amazon

Recommended accommodations: Refugio Amazonas; Tambopata Research Centre


MACHU PICCHU

Kept hidden from the Spanish conquistadors, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu remained undisturbed until its rediscovery in 1911. Justly deserving its World Heritage status, the site occupies a breathtaking position on a limestone ridge overlooking rainforested mountains and the Urubamba River some 600 metres below.  Having evaded Spanish destruction, the buildings are in remarkable condition with many plazas, temples and alters providing an unparalleled glimpse of the Inca past.  As well as being the stunning finale to the Inca trail, the site can be reached via a picturesque train and bus journey from Cusco.
