The Vilcabamba trekking to Machu Picchu is a hidden treasure that has not yet been heavily impacted by tourism.
The route runs through the sparsely populated Cordillera Vilcabamba, which looks much the same as when Hiram Bingham first explored here a century ago. This trek is not for the faint of heart or weak of legs. It is a particularly challenging route with long trekking days and some tough ascents and descents.
