It takes four days of hiking up into the Andes Mountains to reach Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. The trail covers over 25 miles or about 45 kilometers or rugged terrain.

Some of the stunning sights along the way include lush jungles, snow capped mountains, cloud forests, Inca ruins, tunnels, and ancient paving stones.

Each of the hikers had a personal Peruvian porter (assistant) to help carry the water, food, tent and other supplies needed to complete the Inca Trail.
