The Classic Inca trail to Machu Picchu starts from one of two points: 88 km (55 miles) or 82 km (51 miles) from Cuzco on the Urubamba River at approximately 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) altitude. http://ping.fm/FWF3w

Located in the Andes mountain range, the trail passes through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra. Settlements, tunnels, and many Incan ruins are located along the trail before ending the terminus at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu mountain. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 3,660 metres (12,010 ft) above sea level, which can result in altitude sickness. http://ping.fm/Mvl98

The Inca trail to Machu Picchu (also known as Camino Inca or Camino Inka) consists of three overlapping Inca trails: Mollepata, Classic and One Day adventures. Mollepata is the longest of the three routes of the Inca Trail with the highest mountain pass and intersects with the Classic route before crossing “Dead Woman’s Pass”. http://ping.fm/X7ne9

The Inca trail is scattered with ancient monuments and Incan sites and is definitely worth the effort; however, you should book the tour a lot in advance. There is no fixed time on how early to book; what you have to do is book early, the earlier, the better as long as you find available spaces for the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. http://ping.fm/kudbd
