Hiking on the Inca Trail in Peru is perhaps the most incredible active travel experience in the world.  But did you realize there is more than one Inca Trail?  Zephyr offers several trekking options, designed to accommodate most budgets and vacation schedules. 

• The Classic Inca Trail: Choose this trail if you want to hike the most popular route, which is a high-altitude trek that goes over Dead Woman Pass and includes steep climbs and descents, stunning views and ends at Machu Picchu.
  “Outstanding.  This trip had the best overall itinerary compared to what other groups were doing.”  –  C. Cullen, TEXAS
   
• The Royal (Alternative) Inca Trail: Choose this trail if you have concerns about your ability to complete the Classic route.  The low-altitude and far easier Royal Inca Trail avoids the intense climbs and steep descents of the Classic Trail, but also offers beautiful scenery and culminates at Machu Picchu.
  “Excellent, well planned and executed.” – Steve, LOUISIANA
   
• The Sacred Valley Trek: Choose this unique trek (nobody else offers this trek) if you have either a limited budget, or have only a few days in Peru and you still want to experience trekking in the Sacred Valley near Cusco. Trail passes are not required so this is a perfect trek if trail passes are sold out, or you are planning at the last minute.

You can also book one of our standard group treks, or book a private trek with your own group (minimum 2 people) and on the dates you choose.  We encourage you to email or call us (see details under Contact Us) if you need help choosing an Inca Trail hiking vacation that is perfect for you!
