DOING THE INCA TRAIL
Trekking the Inca Trail in Cusco
Lima - Cusco - Inca Trail - Cusco - Lima 9 day

        THE TRIP

Lima-Cusco-Inca Trail-Cusco-Lima
9 days

This trip, organized by Help Women and Children combines a trek along the spectacular Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The Inca Trail trek has been described as probably the most spectacular short trek in the world, a chance to trek along a granite path built more than 500 years ago. In addition we spend time in the remarkable city of Cusco, formerly capital of the vast Inca Empire, visits to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the unique traditional market at Chinchero. We end the trip in Cusco and they fly back to Lima the next day

The Inca Trail

The path involves high altitude trekking and an average fitness level or above is recommended. Macchu Picchu is 2,000 metres above see level. We advise arriving in Cusco at least 24 - 48 hours before your trek in order to acclimatise. This is a camping tour, and all accommodation on the trail is in twin share tents
