Set off on one of Peru’s most breathtaking trekking routes as you follow the lesser-known Cachicata Trail, a newly rediscovered path many consider a true alternative to the classic Inca Trail. This remarkable journey leads you through valleys, waterfalls, and peaceful rural communities, offering a rare window into the Andean world. Along the way, explore ancient quarries where the Incas carved massive stones, marvel at their brilliant engineering work, and wander through archaeological sites that have stood the test of time.
The adventure continues with sweeping mountain views and a special visit to the Inca Sun Gate before descending toward the Sacred Valley. After a night in Aguas Calientes, you’ll rise early for your guided visit to Machu Picchu, witnessing the ancient citadel in its most magical morning light. With stunning landscapes, rich history, and expert guides, this trek gives you an unforgettable connection to Inca culture and the beauty of the Andes.
