About the Inca Trail

The Inca Trail, the most known for adventurers and passengers in general, is the one you go up to Km82 by train, and then start the hike. There are also other treks that follow different routes (Salkantay, Maras, etc.), but all of them reach the hidden jewel.

In the Classic Inca Trail, in the first two days of hiking, you will go through high Andean landscapes that can cause the famous ‘altitude sickness’, also called ‘mountain sickness’ or simply ‘soroche’. This natural physical discomfort is produced by the body’s maladjustment to mountainous geographies where there is low oxygen pressure. That is why we always recommend arriving in Cusco a couple of days before to acclimatize.

The difficulty of the Classic Inca Trail is considered to be a moderate-level hike. The classic Inca Trail Route is 43 km (26 mi) long and often steep, you will hike over four days at an elevation nearing 13,828 feet (4,215 meters)

It’s really not as dangerous as you might imagine. This route can be done by children from 8 years old to people from 70 to 80 years old, so you just have to follow the instructions of our guide and everything will be fine.
