I remember learning about the Incan Empire in school and seeing pictures of Machu Picchu in books and on TV, but nothing prepared me for seeing it in real life.

A few years ago I traveled to Peru with my family. We were there for a 6-day guided tour with Wildland Trekking and the trip was truly magical. I’m excited to share a bit about my experience here.

One of South America’s most iconic attractions — and one of the most famous hikes in the world — the Inca Trail is on many a hiker’s bucket list. This 25-mile route meanders through the beautiful Peruvian countryside, rises high into the Andes and then ends with one of the most breathtaking spectacles on earth — the ancient city of Machu Picchu.

The Incan Empire, which at its largest covered what is now Peru as well as parts of Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Colombia, created many miles of trails to connect its important settlements. The Inca Trail is one of them. When hiking this trail, you can experience the best of what Peru has to offer, including lush cloud forest, soaring Andean peaks, and majestic ruins.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything you’ll need to know to prepare for an Inca Trail trek, including the best times to go, what to pack, and how to make a reservation.
