The trail was part of the Inca road network (Qhapaq Ñan), used by the Incas to connect Cusco with Machu Picchu. Today, it remains an iconic pilgrimage for trekkers worldwide.
Located in the Peruvian Andes, the trail winds through high-altitude mountain passes, cloud forests, and deep valleys, reaching a peak altitude of 4,215 meters (13,828 feet) at Dead Woman’s Pass.
The dry season (May–September) is the best time to trek, with sunny days (12–20°C / 54–68°F) and cold nights (0–5°C / 32–41°F). The rainy season (November–March) makes the trail muddy but keeps the landscapes lush and green.
