Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu - 3 Days

This 3 day Inca trail is for people who have good experience in hiking and fitness but do not have the time or enough experience to do the full path. It is perfect for people who want to go with their families and groups of friends to walk this famous path that has changed the lives of so many people. The Inca trail is one of the most famous and incredible trekking routes in the world! The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most impressive examples of the approximate 40,000 kilometers of roads built by the Incas some 500 years ago. This is the best known hike, combining a stunning mix of Inca ruins, mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest and rich subtropical jungle. We know that not everyone can make this long journey, so we have decided to offer a route for adventurers who want to enjoy the great experience of doing the Inca trail without having to do the complete crossing. By trekking the Inca Trail in 3 days to Machu Picchu you can enjoy this great trip with your loved ones, this shorter trip is great especially for families. Over 250 species of orchid have been counted in the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, as well as numerous birds such as hummingbirds, waterfowl and the majestic Andean Condor. The star of the Sanctuary is the spectacled bear – a shy, herbivorous animal that is extremely rare and close to extinction. Essentially the Inca Trail is a mountainous jungle hike leading to the sacred Inca city of Machu Picchu. The 45km trek is usually covered in 4 days.
