QUARRY INCA TREK TO MACHU PICCHU

Quarry Inca Trek to Machu Picchu

4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS

We specialize in offering unique treks, and promote this Quarry Inca trek along which you will enjoy some small Inca ruins, big waterfalls, amazing landscapes, Incan aqueducts, and see how the Incas used to work the rock; you will visit the old Inca quarry from where the Incas have carved the rocks to build Ollantaytambo Incan ruins, which was the gate to Machu Picchu. Take the time to explore the living Inca city of Ollantaytambo and hike up to the old Inca storehouses which are located on the hillside. After visiting Ollantaytambo, enjoy a wonderful scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes, and hot springs located in town. On the final day, we visit the incredible Machupicchu.
