Explore the Inca Trail
The Inca Trail is more than a route to Machu Picchu. Ancient stone paths, mountain landscapes, archaeological sites, and changing Andean scenery make the journey itself an important part of the experience. Along the trail, travelers follow historic paths through the mountains while discovering the landscapes and remains of the Inca civilization.
With Velflor Travel Peru, you can choose between different Inca Trail experiences depending on your available time, fitness level, and travel plans. Our options include shorter Inca Trail experiences for travelers looking for a more compact journey, as well as the classic multi-day Inca Trail for those who want to experience more of the historic route on foot.
Each itinerary offers a different way to reach Machu Picchu, with carefully planned routes, transportation, meals, permits, guiding, and other services depending on the tour. Explore the options below to compare the duration, route, highlights, and inclusions of each Inca Trail experience before choosing the one that best fits your trip.
