Wonders of Machu Picchu

7-day adventure

The magic of Machu Picchu is yours to discover over the course of three days in these fabled ruins. INCA offers you more time to indulge in Machu Picchu's wonders than any other adventure company.

Why do we spend so "long" in Machu Picchu? A better question is why do others explore this Wonder of the World for so little? In a week you might just be able to discover the depth and breadth of this fascinating and delightfully gorgeous ruin on the mountain saddle. Our three days allow for a guided tour of the main ruins, hikes to Huayna Picchu's Temple of the Moon, the Sun Gate, the Inca bridge and more - along with private exploration at your own pace. Treats like finding a hot pink orchid clinging to a barely excavated wall in a remote corner of the ruins are pleasures reserved for few, INCA travelers included!
