Machu Picchu is situated in the region know as the Vilcabamba where the 4 Days Inca Trail takes place. This area extends between the Apurimac and Urubamba rivers where the 45km Inca trail lies within.
Visitors from all around the world come to Peru, not only to see Machu Picchu, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, but also to hike the Inca trail.
The Inca Trail links a range of stunningly preserved Inca ruins. Along the way the natural scenery is breath-taking, with views of snow capped mountains and the lush cloud forest vegetation.
