In November of 2021, I hiked the Inca Trail without a guide. The Peruvian Government has imposed strict rules and quotas for hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. But, if you travel 3000 miles north into Ecuador, you can hike the Inca Trail to Ingapirca all by yourself!

The Ecuadorian Inca Trail starts in Achupallas, high in the Andes. It travels up to 14,500 feet over Tres Cruces Pass and then drops back down to the town of Ingapirca at the end. This trail usually takes 3 days.
