Overview
The Classic Inca Trail from Km 82 near Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate is the most iconic trekking route in the Americas, passing through cloud forest, high-altitude puna grassland, and an extraordinary series of Inca ruins including Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca, and Winawayna en route to the ultimate destination. The daily permit limit of 500 people including guides means advance booking 6-12 months ahead is essential. The dawn arrival through the Intipunku Sun Gate as mist rises from Machu Picchu below is one of the great travel moments.
