This tour combines adventure, history, and spectacular landscapes in the Peruvian Andes. For three days, you will travel along the 2-day Inca Trail, one of the most impressive routes to reach Machu Picchu, and you will visit the famous Rainbow Mountain, a unique natural destination.
The classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous treks in the world and the most popular in Peru. It can be done in two versions: one of 2 days and another of 4 days.
The 2-day Inca Trail is one of the most incredible routes to reach Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. This journey passes through the high tropical jungle, where you can see mountains covered in vegetation, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient trails built by the Incas. Along the way, you will find Wiñayhuayna, an impressive archaeological site with agricultural terraces and stone buildings that showcase the advanced knowledge of this civilization. Another important point of the journey is Inti Punku, also known as The Sun Gate, from where you get one of the most spectacular views of Machu Picchu before reaching the citadel.
Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the modern world and the most famous destination in Peru. Its ancient stone constructions, temples, and terraces were designed with great precision to withstand the test of time and harmonize with nature. Among its most important structures are the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Plaza, and the Intihuatana, a mysterious stone that the Incas used as a solar clock.
The Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca is another of the most impressive places in Cusco. Its natural color bands, formed by minerals over millions of years, create a unique landscape in the world. Located at over 5,000 meters above sea level, this hike is challenging and requires being physically prepared. However, once you reach the top, the view is breathtaking and totally worth the effort.

The Classic Inca Trail is the most famous hiking route in Peru and one of the best hikes in the world. This 4-day ancestral journey takes you through stunning landscapes, cloud forests, and hidden archaeological sites until you reach Machu Picchu, the jewel of the Andes. To undertake this journey, it is mandatory to have a permit for the Inca Trail network, whether in its 2-day or 4-day version.

During the conquest era, this path was hidden, preserving its magic and authenticity. Today, this journey remains a unique connection to the history and culture of the Incas. Walking these trails means following in the footsteps of a millennial civilization, surrounded by towering mountains and archaeological remains that tell the story of the Incans.
