Terra Quechua Peru Info

The Inca road system (Qhapaq Ñan) was the most extensive pre-Columbian trail in South America, linking together about 40,000 km of roadway and providing access to over three million km² of territory spreading from Santiago, Chile to Quito, Ecuador. Famously, relay messengers (chasqui) kept the distant corners of the empire connected to its leadership by running messages transcribed by knotted cords (quipu) and objects in 6 to 9 km shifts for mountain leaders. These same roads once travelled by tens of thousands of chaqui, nobles, functionaries, soldiers, porters, and llama caravans are today visited by thousands of TERRA QUECHUA PERU travelers a year.

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is actually three routes, which all meet up near the Sun Gate (Inti-Pata), the entrance to Machu Picchu. Located in the Andes mountain range, the Trail passes through ten types of Andean environments, from the low dry mountain forest of the valleys and the Urubamba rivier through cloud forest and alpine tundra to the High Jungle Zone of Machu Picchu. A high proportion of Peru's flora and fauna can be found in this habitat, and an estimated 10-20% of these are endangered. Incan settlements, tunnels, and ruins dot the trail before its terminus at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu mountain. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 12,000 ft (3,660 m) above sea level

Inca trail Recommendations
  • The rarified air at the points of highest altitude, such as Warmiwasquna, can leave travelers short of breath or faint. Although we will be carrying an oxygen tank for emergencies, it helps to give yourself a day in Cusco or the Sacred Valley for acclimatization before undertaking the Inca Trail.
  • All fitness levels can be accommodated, but make sure to discuss all limitations or concerns with your guide prior to departure in order to take all necessary precautions.
  • We will be passing through various climactic zones, and you will find the weather quite changeable. It is recommended that you bring both shorts and pants, as well as a windbreaker or coat for colder weather.
