About the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (other known as Camino Inca or Camino Inka), is the most popular route that goes up to the world-famous Machu Picchu, located in Peru, South America. Another popular option is the Salkanty Trek, which is a good option if you want to avoid the tourist crowds a bit more or if you can't obtain a permit. Machu Picchu is the main symbol of the lost Inca Empire, located on a beautiful ridge surrounded by steep and lush mountains, and the only way to get up there is to traverse a hiking trail. Along the Inca Trail, you'll find many relics of the past from the Incan times, including many ruins and tunnels, in addition to beautiful, tropical mountain scenery. Although it's only 27 miles long, it has a lot to offer, and it's considered to be one of the most beautiful hikes in the world.
