About this trip (Various dates available)

Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic sights in South America, and the culmination of their magnificent Inca Trail trek through the Peruvian Andes. Join Discover Adventure as they trek this breathtakingly beautiful route through valleys and high passes, scattered with fascinating Inca ruins. Trekking on Inca-paved paths and steps, their route takes your up through lush cloudforest to the demanding Dead Woman's Pass (4200m). Continually climbing up or dropping down, the way is steep at times, and the altitude adds to the challenge. You finally come to Sun Gate, which overlooks Machu Picchu, where your first magical glimpse provides an unforgettable reward for your efforts.

"Another bucket list tick and amazing DA experience. Thoroughly enjoyable, very challenging and the final destination was spectacular. I felt once again that I had had an experience, rather than a trip away. Brilliant!"-Stuart

"The Inca trail to Machu Picchu is not one to be missed as the history and scenery are phenomenal. It's a very challenging trek but Discover Adventure make sure you are well equipped to succeed from advice on training and kit to supporting whilst on the trek with the best local guides and team."- Liz 

"Fantastically organised, amazing food and incredible support throughout. I loved the challenge and even though it was really tough as I suffered from altitude sickness, it was totally worth it. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Sign up, you won't regret it!"-Lindsey
