Silvestre About this tour
The most famous trek in South America. Over four days you will walk about 42 km of original Inca trails, crossing Dead Woman’s Pass (Warmiwañusca, 4,215 m) and visiting archaeological sites that can only be reached on foot, such as Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Wiñay Wayna. On the last day you reach Machu Picchu at sunrise through the Sun Gate. Permits are limited: we recommend booking several months in advance.
