The icon of Peru

Machu Picchu, the
wonder you came for

Machu Picchu, the 15th-century Inca citadel set high above the Urubamba valley, is the highlight of any trip to Peru — and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. However you choose to arrive, the first sight of it takes your breath away.

Travel in comfort by train from Cusco, stay overnight in Aguas Calientes for a crowd-free morning visit, add the dizzying climb up Huayna Picchu, or arrive on foot via the Inca Trail or Salkantay. Whatever you choose, a licensed guide brings the citadel’s history to life.

With every ticket, train and transfer organized by our local team, all you have to do is stand at the viewpoint, breathe, and take it all in.

A life-changing experience

Discover the heart of Peru on foot

The Inca Trail is one of the most famous treks on earth — and the finest route in South America. It leads to one of the New Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu, following the original stone path the Incas laid hundreds of years ago.

Along the way you'll discover archaeological sites reachable only on foot, guided by an expert who brings Andean history to life. You'll share the trail with travelers from across the globe, make new friends, and earn every step. It's tough in parts — but the reward is unforgettable.

Locally owned & operated

We are the operator, not a reseller. A Cusco-based, MINCETUR-licensed company means fair prices, faster answers and no middleman between you and your adventure.

Expert Andean guides

Our official Inca Trail guides are born in the region and chosen for deep historical knowledge, fluent English and a genuine passion for sharing their homeland.

Chef-prepared meals

Fresh, hearty Peruvian cuisine cooked on the trail by our own chefs — generous portions, vegetarian and special diets always welcome, even at 4,000 metres.

Eco-friendly & ethical

We pay porters above the legal minimum, carry out everything we carry in, and reinvest in the Andean communities and trails we are privileged to walk.

Small, friendly groups

Intimate departures of like-minded solo travelers, couples and friends — never crowded, always personal, united by a love of authentic adventure.

Quality service

Quality of experience,
second only to safety

We are committed to world-class trekking experiences that go far above and beyond the mass-produced tours so common today.

This trip exceeded every expectation. Worth every single penny — the guide, the porters, the chefs, the whole group made the Inca Trail an experience we will never forget.
