Ancascocha Trek to Machu Picchu 4 Days 3 Nights
The wonderful route of the Ancasocha trail is one of the least-known routes to the incredible Machu Picchu. It’s far less crowded than other trails. Not a lot of companies offer the tour because it’s so off-the-beaten-path and the scenery is so beautiful that it was recognized as one of the 20 dream hikes by National Geographic on their best walks in the world list. Along the trail, you’ll visit Quechua-speaking farming communities and observe how they live in these more remote parts of Cusco. Much of their culture and customs have changed very little for centuries, and these communities will give you a glimpse into what life was like back in Inca times. This trek combines high-altitude hiking in the Andes, fascinating history, endearing cultural exchanges, nature, and one of the quietest trails leading to Machu Picchu.
