The famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is almost certainly the most popular trek in South America, offering very diverse scenery and the chance to visit many other Inca archaeological sites as well as Machu Picchu. There are several alternatives to the "Classic" route, some taking you very close to the impressive Mt Salcantay, the highest peak in the region. Recently trails to another impressive Inca site, Choquequirao (often called Machu Picchu's sister city), have become more popular. These routes take you deep into the Apurimac Canyon and stunning mountain wilderness, for keen trekkers it is possible to trek from Choquequirao on to Santa Teresa and Machu Picchu.
High quality photographic prints of Peru with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints and greeting cards are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details. If you would like a print of any photograph that is not in the gallery please contact James Brunker at magicalandesphotos@yahoo.com A high resolution version of the desired image can easily be uploaded for you.
