9The Inca Trail – Peru
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous and historic hikes in the world, leading travelers along a 4-day journey through the Andes Mountains. This ancient trail, once used by the Inca civilization, weaves through breathtaking mountain scenery, misty cloud forests, and ancient ruins.
The final reward at the end of the trek is reaching the Sun Gate at sunrise, where you’ll catch your first glimpse of the magnificent Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. This hike is as much about the rich history as it is about the scenery, making it one of the most rewarding and spiritual hiking experiences in the world.
