After a string of closures due to Covid precautions, Peru’s ancient Inca trails are again open to visitors.
When it comes to wishlist travel spots, Peru’s Machu Picchu is a perennial favourite. The jewel in the crown of the Inca Empire, it’s a crumbling citadel of more than 100 buildings and a network of walkways and terraces, dating back to about 1450. Perched on a dramatic mountain range where the Peruvian Andes meet the Amazon Basin, the lack of tourists has made it unusually quiet of late. But recently, the Peruvian Government reopened most of the area’s famous trails.
