The Lost city of the
Incas, Machupicchu, with no doubt the
symbol of the Inca civilization. The
royal path that carried pilgrims and
authorized officers of the empire to the
sacred city was "The Inca Trail" as we
know it now.
The
way along this Andean path is a
fascinating and unforgettable
experience. The Inca Trail is paved with
blocks of stone and has stone stairways,
tunnels and wooden bridges and paths
across rivers, streams, beautiful
valleys, warm cloud forests and cold
highlands. All this vision makes the
visitor meditate about the intellectual
and grandeur of the Andean man whose
highest achievement was the Inca
civilization.
The
Inca Trail to Machupicchu is part of an
Inca roads system of more than 30,000
kilometers that integrated the vast
empire of Tahuantinsuyo from southern
Colombia to central Chile passing
through the cities of Quito, Ecuador;
Cajamarca, Huanuco, Jauja, Huamanga, and
Cusco in Peru; La Paz and Cochabamba in
Bolivia; Salta and Tucuman in Argentina.
There roads ran mainly along the coast
and mountain regions and in some cases
they also reached the tropical mountains
in the Amazon forest as is he case with
the Inca Trail to Machupicchu.
We
invite you to follow the footsteps of
the past in this amazing adventure and
live with us the experience of walking
the Inca Trail to Machupicchu.
