This year's Inca Trail event is now fully booked, but thanks to all those who have expressed their interest - please do check back for details of future RMHC events.
Many countries have mountain ranges with beautiful scenery and Peru itself is richly blessed in this respect with many other areas for hiking. However the scenery is only one of the elements responsible for the magic of the Inca Trail. Can there be any walk anywhere in the world with such a combination of natural beauty, history and sheer mystery and with such an awe-inspiring destination? The various ruins along the way serve to heighten the hiker's sense of anticipation as he or she approaches what would surely find a place in any new list of archaeological wonders of the world - Machu Picchu.
The trek is rated moderate and any reasonably fit person should be able to cover the route. It is fairly challenging nevertheless, and altitudes of 4200m are reached. If you would to follow in the historic footprints of the Inca people on the RMHC Peru Trek 2008 and experience the breathtaking South American scenery of the Inca Trail, taking you through the Sun Gate to the Legendary Lost City of the Incas in Machu Picchu please contact us for an information pack.
