2019 Machu Picchu Trip
Explore Peru and hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu!

Your food and equipment are carried for you while you carry your daypack. Hikes are 8-12 miles a day with 2,000 elevation gains. Since we’re going to be a high elevation, we have a 3 day acclimation period. If you experience altitude sickness at any part of the hike, you can descend to a lower elevation.
May 26th – Jun 2
