Lost to the jungle for centuries, Machu Picchu was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham 100 years ago.  It's now probably the most famous sight in South America – and justifiably so.  Perched high above the river on a knife-edge ridge, the ruins are truly spectacular.  The best way to reach them is on foot, following parts of the original paved Inca Trail over passes of 4200m (13,500ft) . 

This guide includes hiking options from two days to three weeks with 35 detailed hiking maps showing walking times, camping places & points of interest:

Route guides and maps to:  ● Classic Inca Trail ● High Inca Trail ● Salkantay Trek ● Choquequirao Trek ● Lares Trek ● Ausangate Trek
