This amazing four day trek will take you past ancient Incan ruins, over high Andean passes and through mysterious cloud forest. This trail is the most widely known of all the Inca trails and as a result it’s the most popular, which is why a trekking permit system exists to protect the trail and why everyone who treks the trail must do so with the assistance of a local Peruvian operator (we take care of that for you).
The Classic Inca Trail is 45km (25 miles) in total length and you’ll average around 6 hours or 12km (7 miles) per day. The greatest elevation reached on the trail is 4,200 metres (13,800 feet) at the top of Dead Woman’s Pass. It involves three and a half days of hiking, three nights of camping, three passes and many Incan ruins to walk past and explore. While the many steps on the Inca Trail might be a bit of a challenge, the rewards are well and truly worth it!
Please note, the Classic Inca Trail requires a non-refundable deposit of USD $200 per person at time of booking. This amount is included in your standard booking deposit, and in the event of cancellation, any credit owing, as per our booking conditions, will be less this amount.
