Inka Trail
The Inca Trail to Machupicchu
The Inca Trail
The Inca Trail is the best know and most popular hike on the continent and is walked by thousands of people every year, it certainly is an exceptional hike. The views of snow capped mountains and high cloud forest can be stupendous (weather permitting). Walking from one beautiful ruin to the next is a mystical and unforgettable experience. However, the trail and campsites can get very crowded during the dry season, and if you are an experienced backpacker looking for solitude or remote mountain villages, you may prefer hiking one of the many other available trails.
The short hike
Since the last edition of this Inca Trail has been opened Leaving from km 104 (on the railway tracks, where you alight the train), the signed trail crosses the river on a footbridge before climbing steeply to Huiñay Huayna. (a fork in the trail follows down the river past the ruins of Choquesuysuy and then climbs up the right hand of the ravine to Huiñay Huayna, but this is much steeper and not normally used.) Even the normal climb is steeper than most sections of the Inca Trail proper, and takes about three hours. The locally suggested itinerary calls for an overnight at the hostel or camping area near Huiñay Huayna, but this can be extremely crowded.- Some hikers have reported reaching Machu Picchu in one day from km 104 a long, tiring hike, but certainly doable if you are fit and acclimatized.
