A quick trip tip - In order to conserve the trek the government in Peru restrict numbers and require trekkers to get a permit. So make sure that you organise your trip early or book into a group tour that organises the permits on your behalf. Do not just turn up and expect to get on the trek otherwise you may end up disappointed.

So what makes trekking Machu Picchu so popular? The three main reasons that always come up are reasons such as ancient history, being active and being in nature.

The Incans have a rich and keen history that is believed to have emerged from the 1200's and following on, the Incans then became determined the largest empire in pre Colombian history. Machu Picchu itself was built colse to the year 1450 which was abandoned a 100 years later due to the Spanish conquest.

Those seeking an active holiday select the Machu Picchu Trail for its fitness. The trek is determined as a moderate fitness level. Remember the trek is a 4 day hike across the Andes so there will be fullness of walking involved. The trek isn't too difficult so anyone can do this, as long as they have the right state of mind. But if trekking isn't your style then there is always a train that will take you to Machu Picchu without any trekking on trail.

The landscape is second to none as far as great trekking goes. The landscape of Peru is one that has many facades such as grassy plains, woods, and steep mountainsides with ancient ruins found throughout this region, which is why lovers of nature and raw charm also have an interest in this trek.
