Machu Picchu and the jungle Hiking this part of the Inca Trail usually takes four days, through forest, past Inca ruins and up to high passes, culminating in your arrival at the lost city of the Incas. Standing at the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu for the first time is an unforgettable moment. End your trip in the Peruvian Amazon jungle and discover the flora and fauna of this incredibly bio diverse area, and the people who inhabit it.
