Machu Picchu, Urubamba Province, Peru
Join #TeamHDA for this once in a lifetime trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic sights in South America, and the culmination of Discover Adventure's magnificent Inca Trail trek through the Peruvian Andes.
Trek through this breathtakingly beautiful route through valleys and high passes, scattered with fascinating Inca ruins.
Event information:
Trekking on Inca-paved paths and steps, the route will take you up through lush cloudforest to the demanding Dead Woman’s Pass (4200m). Continually climbing up or dropping down, the way is steep at times, and the altitude adds to the challenge. You will finally come to the Sun Gate, which overlooks Machu Picchu, where your first magical glimpse provides an unforgettable reward for your efforts.
