A psychologist may have some theories about why two 50-year-olds decided to mark their half century by visiting an ancient ruin, but let’s not overanalyse this.

Lots of lush greenery, ancient pathways, atmospheric fog… and so much more.

As I found on my 8-day Inca Trail trip with Intrepid Travel, you’ll visit for the ruins but leave having taken in and fallen for so much more.

The Inca Trail definitely lives up to the hype. Here’s why.

Here’s a rundown of the seasons and a few tips on when to hike in Peru.

My first hike on the Inca Trail in Peru taught me a lot of things. But mostly, it was about the friendships I made and how beautiful Machu Picchu truly is.

As I experienced each new scene, I also began to notice that my travel companions were no longer strangers to me, but felt more familiar than any friend at home.

Training for the Inca Trail is essential. But what you do *after* the trek is just as important.
