Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Thousands of miles of roadways crisscrossed the Inca kingdom connecting Amazon jungles, highland valleys and the Pacific coast to Cusco, the Inca capital. Used to transport goods, move people and facilitate communications, these highways rivaled the ancient Roman system in terms of extent and accomplishment. Many sections were destroyed while others lay forgotten, engulfed by dense vegetation. Such was not the fate of one 25-mile stretch connecting the Sacred Valley to half-a-dozen impressive Inca sites bearing intriguing names like Forever Young and Town Above the Clouds. Known as the Inca Trail, this stone-paved route leads directly through the Sun’s Gate into Machu Picchu. view details
