Machu Picchu Hiking Tours with Local Private Guides

Experience our exclusive Machu Picchu Hiking Tours with local Tour Guides! Trekking to Machu Picchu is a great way to experience the beauty and history of one of the world’s most famous landmarks – Machu Picchu. These popular treks typically range from 2 to 5 days, with most following the ancient Inca Trail treks to Machu Picchu.

One of the most popular Machu Picchu hiking tours is the Classic 4-Day Inca Trail trek, which covers 26 miles through the mountains. However, we prefer to do it differently by taking the 5-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu which offers stunning views of the Andes with the best campsites. This trek includes visits to several Inca ruins along the way, including the impressive Wiñay Wayna and Machu Picchu.

For those looking for a shorter option, the 2-day Short Inca Trail offers a taste of the Inca Trail experience with a less strenuous hike and overnight stay in a comfortable hotel. Hikers who embark on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu will actually be walking on the original ancient footpath that was carved out of the mountains centuries ago by the Incas. 

Our expert trekking guides are the best in the field, providing safety, insider knowledge, camaraderie, and fun on the trail. And after a day of hiking, you can rest assured that our comfortable camping gear will ensure a good night’s sleep, so you’ll be refreshed and ready for the next day’s adventure!
