The two-day Inca Trail trek was an absolutely amazing experience. From the flawless organization to the stunning beauty of Wiñay Wayna and Machu Picchu, every moment was magical. Camping near Machu Picchu and seeing the citadel at sunrise was a dream come true. Our guide was exceptional and very knowledgeable about Inca history and culture. I recommend this tour to all adventure and history enthusiasts.
