You may be able to do a hiking trip through the Inca Trail in two ways. The first one being that of a four-day hike filled with challenging mountain passes. The latter path is less challenging than the previous one and would only take about two days trek which covers only the latter part of the trail. If this is your first time to go on a trekking trip or is not that much of an expert in hiking adventures, it would be most preferred if you engage on the second path. Tour companies would provide trekkers the option to pay for porters to carry their items for them during the hiking trip.
