Introduction

The Inca Trail is one of the most famous treks in the world. It's also a 2-day journey through some of the most beautiful terrain in South America. As you walk with your guide along this path, you'll see ancient temples and stone bridges built by the Incas thousands of years ago. These ruins still stand today because they were never conquered by Spanish conquistadors or even Spanish settlers who arrived centuries later!

The greatest way to see both the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu in one trip is with the Machu Picchu Sacred Valley Tour, also known as the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu Tour.

Machu Picchu citadel

You'll have to descend the mountain on foot, but it's worth it. The citadel is an ancient Inca city that was built by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui in 1450 AD. It’s located on a steep 200-meter (660 ft) high mountain, which makes it one of the most difficult places to climb—but not impossible!

The beautiful views from up here are breathtaking and include some of Peru's best wildlife spots like llamas, alpacas and vicuñas (the latter two being threatened).

The Inca Trail is one of the most famous treks in the world.

The Inca Trail is one of the most famous treks in the world. The reason for this is simple: it's one of the few places where ancient ruins can still be found, and they're spectacular.

The Inca Trail begins at dawn with a three-hour walk to Machu Picchu citadel, which was built by the Incas around AD 1450 as a religious center for their sun god Inti. The hike takes about six hours from Cusco to Machu Picchu (the journey includes your hotel stay), but you'll need to go up and down steep hills many times during this trip; each hill is about two miles high! You'll also pass through several small villages along your way where locals sell drinks or food along with some souvenirs for sale inside their homes--and sometimes even their beds! Make sure not to miss out on these opportunities because once again: wowza!
