Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

A short travel brief on the classic Inca Trail: about 26 miles through the Peruvian Andes, usually walked in four days, ending at Machu Picchu.1

The high point is Dead Woman's Pass at 13,829 ft. Only 500 permits go out each day, so bookings go through a registered operator months ahead.1

Trail footage is drawn from a public trek film of the path and citadel.2
