The Thrill of Trekking to Machu Picchu
For families seeking adventure, the journey along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu can be as exciting as the destination itself. The iconic Inca Trail weaves through breathtaking landscapes, from lush jungles to cloud-kissed mountains. While the classic Inca Trail might be better suited for older children and teenagers, there are alternative routes like the Short Inca Trail or the Salkantay Trek that cater to various fitness levels and ages. These trails provide an opportunity to bond as a family, conquer challenges together, and revel in the beauty of the great outdoors.
