The 4-Day Classic Inca Trail is a popular choice for trekkers who want to fully immerse themselves in the Machu Picchu experience and all of its history, as well as enjoy a deeper connection to the Inca culture, the traditional Quechua people and the natural beauty of the Cusco region. Here are some reasons why many people choose to do the Inca Trail 4 Days:
- Live the Inca Trail experience: The Inca Trail 4 Days covers the entire length from its start at kilometer 82 to the arrival at the Inca city of Machu Picchu. This allows hikers to experience the route in its entirety, including the diverse landscapes, archaeological sites and altitude changes.
- Experience nature to the fullest: During the four days of the Classic Inca Trail, our hikers have the opportunity to enter the impressive natural Andean landscapes, ranging from dense forests of the Andes to high plateaus and snow-capped mountains. This immersion in nature offers a unique experience of connection with the natural environment.
- Visits to archaeological sites: Throughout the Inca Trail 4 Days, we will be able to visit various Inca archaeological sites, such as Llactapata, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Wiñay Wayna. The Classic Inca Trail 4 Days will give you enough time to explore these fascinating places and learn about Inca history and culture.
- Gradual acclimatization: The time it will take to do the hike will give you enough time to gradually acclimatize to the altitude as you progress along the trail. This helps reduce the risk of suffering the effects of altitude sickness and allows participants to better enjoy the experience without health problems.
- Arrival at Machu Picchu at dawn: One of the highlights of the 4-day tour is the arrival at Machu Picchu at dawn on the fourth day. This experience offers spectacular views of the sunrise over the Inca ruins and the opportunity to explore the site before the crowds of tourists arrive.
If you want an alternative to this hike, you can also do the Short Inca Trail 2 Days.
In summary, the 4-day Inca Trail tour offers a complete and rewarding experience that combines physical challenge with cultural exploration and connection with nature, all culminating in the thrilling arrival at the legendary citadel of Machu Picchu.
