What is the Inca Trail anyway?
The Inca Trail is the name given to a walking route that partially follows the course of an old Inca roadway leading to the city of Machu Picchu. For most people, the trail begins at Km.88 on the railway between Cuzco and Machu Picchu and ends at Machu Picchu itself. The Inca Trail is not the name of a particular travel company’s itinerary, although many travel companies offer Inca Trail tours.
