The most famous Inca Trail is to Machu Picchu (also known as the Inka Trail or Capac Ñan) consists of three overlapping trails: Classic Inca Trail 4 days and 03 nights with a total of 45 km, Short Inca Trail 2 days and 1 night with a total of 11 km long and the Longest Salkantay trek – Inca Trail to Machupicchu in 7days and 6 nights, eight a total of 58 kilometers all of them are located in the Cusco Andes mountain range, the 4days inca trail and the 7 days Salkantay – Inca Trail pass through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest, tunnels, and many Inca ruins before ending at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu sacred mountain. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 4,200 meters (13,800 ft) above sea level in WarmiWañusca, which can result in altitude sickness, the small route ascent to beyond 2,650 meters (8,690 ft) above sea level in Wiñayhuayna.
Concern about overuse leading to erosion has led the Peruvian government to place a limit on the number of people who may hike the Inca Trail to Machupicchu per season, and to sharply limit the companies that can provide guides. As a result, advance booking is mandatory. A maximum of 500 people are allowed on the trail each day, of which only 200 are trekkers, the rest being guides and porters. The trail is closed every February for cleaning. As a result, the high season books out very quickly.
