From 100 facts for 100 years of Machu Picchu - #17



By Catharine Hamm | Los Angeles Times Travel Editor

#17 The five days' journey from Cuzco refers to hiking to Machu Picchu, which you can still do today on the Incan Trail, a three- to six-day trip that requires good stamina.

The government of Peru restricts the number of people allowed on the Classic Inca Trail at one time. There are a maximum of 500 people allowed to start each day - this includes guides and porters. There are several other Inca Trails in the area which offer the opportunity to trek on the Inca Trail when the Classic Trail permits are taken.
