5 Days Ancascocha and Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Tour

The Ancascocha + Short Inca Trail offers a rare combination of remote adventure, cultural immersion, and the iconic journey to Machu Picchu, all in just five days. What truly sets this experience apart is the route. You’ll explore the Ancascocha trek, one of the most dreamed of hikes in the world, far from the crowds. Along the way, you’ll cross high mountain passes, glaciers, turquoise lagoons, and hidden Andean valleys rarely visited by others. You’ll also connect with traditional Andean communities that preserve their ancestral way of life, adding a deeper cultural dimension to the journey. Unlike most alternative routes, this trek continues onto the Short Inca Trail, allowing you to walk original Inca paths and arrive at Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). With altitudes over 4,600 meters (15,091 ft), this is a true adventure, designed for travelers seeking something beyond the ordinary.
