Alternative Inca Trails

The famous "Classic Inca Trail to Machupicchu" has become a "must do" for many travelers visiting Peru in recent years. However, the popularity of this four days trek passing many Inca ruins, snow-capped peaks and rivers has meant that the trail and its archaeological sites have had to cope with an ever increasing amount of visitor, for which they were not prepared. The peruvian government has imposed a strict limit on the number of people allowed on the trail at many one time.

However, the Cusco area offers a wealth of treks, many of them along the Inca Trails to different archaeological sites or places of natural beuty which are just as appealing as the traditional Inca Trail, maybe more so as you will not be following 200 other tourists along the trail. This information packet gives an overview of some of the most popular Alternative Inca Trails, and can be used as a rough guide; to do the treks independently you will need to do further research.
