Also The Inca trail to the ancient Incas used to walk to Machu Picchu and there are actually three different routes to travel on foot to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu: The Classic Inca Trail (or four-day excursion) Sacred Inca Trail or Real (or two-day excursion), and the Inca Trail Salkantay (alternative route). The Inca Trail Classic Inca Trail and Sacred both intersect at the ruins of Wiñaywayna and then proceed to Intipunku, the “sun gate” where hikers are achieved his first glimpse of Machu Picchu in the distance. The alternative route from Salkantay Inca Trail is the longest of the three excursions and usually ends below Machu Picchu in the town of Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu instead of himself. Cutting through the mountains of the Andes Mountains and Amazon jungle brow, the Classic Trail passes through many important Inca ruins and outposts before ending at Machu Picchu Mountain. The two longer routes (the Inca Trail Salkantay and the Inca Trail Classic) require a climb to about 4.215 meters above sea level, which can sometimes cause altitude sickness

At the meantime you can visit others beautiful places that shows the combinations of culture and nature, such as the sacred valley tour, the south valley or Maras moray tour these are perfect sites for adjust to the altitude.
