Overview
The classic 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic treks on Earth. Walking in the footsteps of the Inca, you'll pass through a succession of ancient ruins, cloud forest draped in orchids and bromeliads, and high mountain passes before descending through the Intipunku (Sun Gate) at sunrise for your first view of Machu Picchu. ITCOG combines this legendary route with an extended program that includes acclimatization days in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and optional extensions to lesser-visited Inca sites. Limited permits make early booking essential.
