The Incas built a highly advanced system of nearly 40,000 kilometers of trails, to connect the far corners of their large empire that extended from Quito in Ecuador down to Santiago in Chile and east to Mendoza in Argentina. Cusco was the heart of this important empire. Practically all of the main trails in the mountains around Cusco were built or worked upon by the Incas; though a specifically exquisite 43 km portion of mountain trail joining the valuable Inca archaeological sites of Runcuracay, Sayacmara, Phuyupatamarca, Wiñay Wayna and Machu Picchu has become a favorite of trekkers in the past 30 years.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru is considered overcrowded, and hiking permits are limited. Due to its popularity, the Peruvian government, together with UNESCO, has limited the number of permitted hikers on the Inca Trail to 500 people per day in order to protect this heritage of humanity. But fortunately, there are other ways to the famous ruined city in the Andes.
Next to the Inca Trail, the Salkantay Trek is the most popular Inca trail in the Sacred Valley. Just like the Inca Trail, the Salkantay Trek leads past massive, snow-capped mountain peaks to tropical mountain cloud forest. The hike is in no way inferior to the Inca Trail, is -so far- much less well-known and hardly deserves to come second among the top trekking routes in Peru. On the way you circle the impressive mountain Salkantay (6271m), which is called "wild mountain" in Quechua. Especially on the first and second day, the strenuous stages are high. After passing the Humantay Lagoon on the first day, the following day the Salkantay Pass is crossed, from then on a long descent follows. If you want, you can choose an alternative route on the third day from Chaullay, which means you'll be on the road for a total of five days instead of four. On the Peru active trip, you can even combine the Salkantay Trek through the Andes with trekking in the Colca Canyon and a multi-day jungle adventure!
Alternatives to the Inca Trail: Since the Inca Trail is usually fully booked six months in advance, there are two more multi-day treks in the program that eventually reach Machu Picchu: The Salkantay Trek and Lares trek.

Search for ‘world’s best walks’, and the Inca Trail usually crops up in your search results. While it’s a rewarding (and challenging) hike, it’s also congested and in constant high demand.

The Nazca Lines are one of the most enigmatic sites in Peru and the world. These impressive figures, discovered in 1927, are located near Nazca (one of the driest regions on the planet), in the plains of the southern Ica region of Peru. The size and complexity of these geoglyphs have given rise to numerous theories about their origin and purpose.
Despite various speculations, archaeologists maintain that the Nazca Lines were created by the ancient Nazca culture, which is believed to have used simple but ingenious techniques to remove stones and reveal the lighter soil beneath. These lines form various designs, including geometric shapes, animals, and plants, which are only fully visible from the air.
The mystery surrounding the Nazca Lines remains a significant challenge for researchers, but their beauty and uniqueness captivate all who visit them. We invite you to explore and uncover the secrets of these fascinating figures in Peru. More information at: bit.ly/PeruNazcaLines
