Trek through Peru’s ancient civilizations

Peru’s Inca Trail has long been an object of fascination, drawing curious travellers from all around the world. With Intrepid, you too can navigate through the fertile heartland of the Sacred Valley to the magnificent Ollantaytambo ruins before reaching the ultimate destination — Machu Picchu. The city was built around 1440 AD as a country retreat for Incan nobility, but there’s evidence that the land had been a sacred Incan site for much longer.
