So you want to go trekking in peru. Machi Pichou is waiting. the history goes as far back as the Inca's. The ancient civilisation offers more than meets the eye. Not only is there incredible views and mountains, but there is also an aire of history and spirit that only peru can give you.

Hiking in high altitudes is very challenging and exhasuting, and anyone who is new to it may be surprised at the difficulty. People often get ill and need to take many rest stops. Expect shortness of breath, slow movements, and possibly headaches. Even the most fit people can have adverse reactions to the altitude, so heed any advice suggested by travel doctors, and don’t overdo it. This hike is a good indication of what to expect when hiking the Inca Trail.

Just being up in the mountains in the high altitude is enough to get the heart racing. The total distance of the Inca trail is approximately 43 kilometres. You begin by crossing the narrow bridge at Kusicancha, afterwhich you trek for about 4 hrs and camp at either Wayllabamba or Llullucha.
