An amazing system of highways connecting every corner of the Inca empire, the Inca Trails were a highly sophisticated communication network that made it possible to manage resources and unify an entire region. 

 

Walking a section of the Inca Trail today, in Cusco, is a challenging and rewarding experience. For one or more days, you will test yourself to the limit, walking at different altitudes while enjoying a range of beautiful landscapes. Lares, Ausangate, and Salkantay are just some of the routes awaiting you. 

If you like walking, you should hike the Inca Trail at least once in your life.
