FOR A UNIQUE, LESS-TRAVELED trekking experience, join our 4-day Llama Trek! The terrain on the Llama Trek is very similar to that of the classic Inca Trail—the difference is that on this trek, you’ll enjoy this spectacular Inca mountain realm virtually to yourself! Hike past huge waterfalls and turquoise lakes, venture over a 14,900-foot pass, meet the traditional Quechua herders of the highlands, camp near Inca ruins accessible only on foot, and enjoy our famous full-service camping with colorfully tasseled llamas carrying your gear. At trek’s end, journey to Machu Picchu for a memorable overnight near the ruins of “the lost city of the Incas.”
