The Inca is the most aberrant member of its family and is placed in its own monotypic genus. Its body is charcoal grey, with dark black primaries and black cap, and bright red bill and legs. The most distinctive feature of this species are its prominent white moustaches which, starting at the base of the bill, are quite long and curl down around the cheek. The Inca Tern is primarily coastal occurring from north central Chile to Ecuador. It is quite common along near shore waters where it forages for anchovetta but are most easily found along rocky coasts where they breed on sea cliffs and guano islands. Though highly distinctive at close range, from a distance, this species can easily be confused with the Grey Gull, especially juveniles, but note structure and especially on the adult, the bright red bill.
DESCRIPTION
The four-day Inca Trail trek will reward you with a stunning combination of the Cusco’s Incan sites, mountainscapes and cloud forests. Because we run our own treks, we can ensure the fair treatment of our porters and the quality of food and equipment so that you’re free to enjoy the beauty of the region.
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.

THE Inca Trail
The Inca Trail Empire was the most sophisticated culture in the “New World”. By force of “divine right” and with a mastery of engineering, agriculture, economic, and most importantly, administrative skills, the Incas united warring tribes throughout the Andes under a common language and single religion, creating one of the most fabulous of ancient empires – the Tawantinsuyo.
At its height, the Inca Trail Empire had an extensive network of roads running the length and breadth of the Andes; more than 2,500 miles. These stone-paved trails connected the highland valleys with the coast.
"In the 15th century Inca Pachacutec conquered and began to rebuild the town of Ollantaytambo, constructing terraces for farming and an irrigation system. These huge terraces make up what is called the Fortress or Temple Hill. The town became home to Inca nobility. After Inca Pachacutec’s death, the town and its surroundings fell to the hands of his family and then eventually to those of Inca Manco. Inca Manco used Ollantaytambo as a retreat from the attacks of the Spanish. The fortress of Ollantaytambo, originally built for religious purposes, was the site of a major battle, one of the only successful ones against the conquistadors." theonlyperuguide.com/
Our first day visiting the Inca ruins at Ollantaytampo, Peru, we came across a a lovely young lady wearing her native attire. Asking her parents for permission and taking her picture, she showed her heritage and smile to everyone.

www.sapadventures.net/ If you would like your group to be "closed", meaning you would like a private service only for you or your family or friends, this is entirely possible. With this tour you are given more flexibility to walk at your own pace and have the guide to yourselves. Everything is done so that the trek is nothing of a 'roughing it' experience. You will only carry a small day-pack (which should include items such as a waterproof jacket, sun protection cream, insect repellent, water and camera) – porters will carry the rest of your personal belongings. In general you will have an all round more personal service!
