Known for it's trekking, or hiking, Peru's most famous trek is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu that explores ancient ruins and ends at the Sun Gate entrance to Machu Picchu. But Peru also has high mountain treks with scenery reminiscent of the Himalaya Mountains, and incredible cultural journeys where you interact with local people who live much as their Inca ancestors once did.
