High in the breathtaking Andes Mountains of Peru lies one of the world's most legendary hiking adventures -- the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. This iconic trek winds through misty cloud forests, ancient Incan stone pathways, dramatic mountain passes, hidden archaeological ruins, and unforgettable panoramic views before arriving at the awe-inspiring Sun Gate overlooking Machu Picchu -- the Lost City of the Incas and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
This is not just a hike. It is a once-in-a-lifetime journey through history, culture, nature, and personal achievement.
