Inka Trail is the tourist adventure program that will take us through wonderful snow-covered mountain of South Andes in Cusco and find the message in its history over the archaeological remains found on the road and discover the magic of Machu Picchu.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is part of an Inca road system of over 30,000 kilometers that integrated the vast Tahuantinsuyo Empire from southern Colombia to the central part of Chile, passing through some cities as: Quito, Ecuador; Cajamarca, Huanuco, Jauja, Huamanga, and Cusco in Peru; La Paz and Cochabamba in Bolivia; Salta and Tucumán in Argentina. These roads cover mainly the coast and mountains, but in some cases, they also cover tropical mountains in the Amazon jungle, such as Inca Trail.
