By far, the most known trek in South America, several reasons may support this award: cloud forest, fine stone work, Inca stairways and tunnel, exotic flowers and of course the Inca trails.

A bus may take us to Km 82, which it’s the end of the road along the Vilcanota valley, sometimes a train to Km 88, both will take around 3hrs from Cuzco.
