Take the road less-traveled to Machu Picchu during this 4-day, 3-night trek along an alternative route past fascinating Inca ruins and gorgeous scenery. Explore less-crowded archaeological sites like a rock quarry that once supplied stones for Inca buildings and a cave with Incan mummies, and check out the famed Sun Gate marking the entrance to the city of Machu Picchu. You'll finish your trip on the last day with an unforgettable visit to the famed 'Lost City of the Incas,' including a 2-hour guided tour. Your excursion also features hotel pickup, a guide, two nights of camping and one night of hostel accommodations, camping equipment, bus and train transfers, three days of meals and horses and horsemen to carry camping gear.
