The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is physically challenging but worthwhile, and the excursion is within the ability of most reasonably fit.
It is a 45-km (30 miles) hike, with 3 high passes to be crossed, one of which reaches an elevation of 4200m (13776 ft). The inca trail is often steep, and it may rain even during the dry season. The temperatures at night may fall below zero, so it is important to come prepared.

Clima en el Camino
:El clima en la zona del Camino Inca es, por lo general, templado durante todo el año. La mejor época para realizar el trekking es durante la estación seca (entre abril y octubre). Junio es el mes más frío y agosto ofrece un clima más templado y estable. De noviembre a marzo, las lluvias son frecuentes y el camino puede convertirse en un peligroso y resbaladizo lodazal.
Durante la caminata, es seco en los dos primeros días y húmedo en el tercero y cuarto. Y durante la noche los dos primeros campamentos suelen ser fríos, pero el tercer campamento es templado.

CLASSIC INCA TRAIL TO MACHUPICCHU 4D/3N
Inca Trail Description:
Visitors come from all parts of the world to Peru, not only to see Machu Picchu but to walk the Inca Trail, the most famous hike in South America. They come to see the ruins and the scenery which makes this trail so famous. The total distance of the Inca trail is approximately 43 kilometres, departing from the place known as Kilometre 88. To begin the trip, one crosses the narrow bridge at Kusicancha, and afterwards heads towards the left hand side of a forest of Eucalyptus trees. Camping on this night is either in Wayllabamba or Llullucha. The second day is more difficult, as you have to climb to 4200 metres at the Pass of Warmiwañusqa (Dead Woman’s pass). The third day is the longest, but also the most interesting for many people as you can visit impressive ruins like Runkuracay and Sayaqmarca. Camping is either in Phuyupatamarca or Wiñayhuayna. On the final day many groups leave early to see the sun rise over Machu Picchu from the Inti Punku (sun gate). The remainder of the day is spent exploring this fabulous ancient city.
El Puente del Inca es una formación rocosa que forma un puente natural sobre el río Las Cuevas. Está ubicado al noroeste de la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina, y su curiosa formación y pasado como hotel de baños termales lo han convertido en un punto turístico destacado, actualmente considerado un Área Natural protegida por la provincia.
Se encuentra a 2.700 metros de altitud, sobre la Cordillera de los Andes y entre los cerros Banderita Norte y Banderita Sur, en el Departamento Las Heras, distrito Las Cuevas. Dista unos 183 kilómetros de la Ciudad de Mendoza por la ruta 7, cerca del paso a Chile, y de la entrada principal del Parque Provincial Aconcagua.
Esta curiosidad geomorfológica tiene unos 48 metros de longitud, 28 de ancho y 8 de espesor, y se encuentra suspendido a 27 metros sobre el río. Penden de él una serie de estalactitas, inflorescencias cálcicas y en invierno agujas de hielo.
La formación se produjo por la erosión hídrica del río Las Cuevas que creó un pasaje a través de las morenas (sedimentos por el retroceso de glaciares) depositados en el valle con forma de artesa ("U"). Las aguas minero termales cementaron luego la zona con una carcasa ferruginosa, lo que le otorgó su curiosa forma y un colorido en los tonos del naranja, amarillo y ocre.
