The Inca Trail isn't the only trek you can do to Machu Picchu, read our Machu Picchu trekking guide for details of some of Peru's lesser-known but equally incredible hikes.

Day 1 - Lima

Begin your day in Lima, Peru's bustling capital city. Enjoy a half-day city tour, which will include a visit to one of Lima’s main squares and oldest Cathedrals. With the rest of your time in the capital, we would highly recommend discovering the thriving gastronomic scene at one of Lima’s many restaurants.

Today your Inca Trail adventure begins. You will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to kilometre 82 where the trail begins. The 26-mile hike takes three nights and four days, and along the way, you will stay at local campsites. Accompanied by a guide and porters, there are lots of points of interest along the way and amazing viewpoints to make a stop at.

Day 7 - Machu Picchu & Cusco

The final day of the trek is very much the climax of your Inca trail adventure. Your last day will start before sunrise when you will make your way up to the Sun Gate at Machu Picchu, where, clouds allowing, you might be able to see the sunrise over the citadel.
