Hiking the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is the most famous trek in all of Peru if not South America. This sacred path is packed with history and it’s only a portion of what it used to be during the days of the Inca empire. In modern times, this 26 mile path is the only way to access Machu Picchu directly after 3 beautiful days of hiking.

The Machu Picchu Inca Trail is also the most regulated trek in Peru. The hiking permits, controlled by the government, can only be purchased by licensed operators such as Alpaca Expeditions and we work along with the government rules and regulations.

The Alpaca Expeditions Inca Trail tours all include a highly educated tour guide to direct the group and answer all of your questions, a team of porters to transport all the needed equipment and as well as your personal belongings and a trekking chef to provide hot restaurant quality meals at every campsite to guarantee your safety and to ensure you have the energy needed to enjoy your hike.

If this Machu Picchu Inca Trail 4 day option feels like too much of a challenge Alpaca Expeditions also offers a 2 day Inca Trail package It has the same attention to detail and service with different features.

Or, if you’d like to see the entire trail but want to do it at a slower pace then there is the Machu Picchu Inca Trail 5-Day trek.

However, there is another option to make it even MORE challenging, which is the 7-day trek that combines the Salkantay pass with the Inca Trail.

No matter which route you choose, we are here to help you find the best match and ensure you have all the permits, equipment and support needed.
