  2. Why is the Inca Trail Famous? The Inca Trail is often described as the greatest hike of the world. But what makes it so? The trail combines the best of both worlds i.e. it is a 4 to 5 days walk that will take you to the fabulous lost city of Machu Picchu. You will discover here the snow-capped Andes Mountains crashing into the lush high jungles of Amazon basin. Moreover, during the hike you will relish the powerful combination of stunning natural scenery along with the historical power of hiking an ancient trail while visiting numerous incomparable Incan ruins along the way. So Peru Inca Trail holidays and hiking is a complete package that combines adventure, nature and rich ancient history.

  3. How long is the Inca Trail? The classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu has a length of 39 kilometers (24 miles). Typically, it takes about 4 days to complete the hike. However, many hikers find completing these 39 kilometers over 3 days with the fourth day just a short hike to Machu Picchu difficult enough even when they are trained for the trek. Due to steepness and high mountain air, most people often go for a small amount of distance on the Inca Trail each day which makes them reach Machu Picchu in 5 days. Did you know there is the Inca Trail Marathon, which is considered as one of the most difficult marathons in the world? The record time for an Inca Trail marathon was set at 3 hours and 3 minutes by a local porter. Foreigners, however, have done it in over 5 hours!

  4. Why is it called Dead Woman’s Pass? The highest point on the Inca Trail is known as AbraWarmiwanusca in Quechua which literally means Dead Woman's Pass. The name Dead Woman's Pass is because when it is viewed from the valley it appears like supine body of a woman. Aren't these facts interesting enough to explore the trail?
