INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU - LIMA, NAZCA, INCA TRAIL, MACHU PICCHU

Peru is a land of geographical complexity and striking beauty, with the marked contrast between the Andes Mountains, the arid Atacama Desert in the east, and the lush forests of the Amazon. 

This tour is of the Inca Trail which follows the ancient Inca Paths through to the complex of Macchu Picchu. Any reasonably fit person should be able to cover the route. However, the second day of the trek is quite challenging as one heads up to an altitude of 4200m to the top of Dead Woman's Pass.
