Inca Bridge
A backdoor to Machu Picchu that only the most foolhardy infiltrator would attempt to breach.
One of the lesser-known features of the Machu Picchu archaeological site, the Inca Bridge is a “secret†entrance to the citadel. Built into a spectacular path along a sheer mountain side, the simple plank bridge could quickly be removed to scupper the progress of any unwanted arrivals.
The Inca Bridge (sometimes written as Inka Bridge) is a 25- to 30-minute walk from the center of Machu Picchu along a narrow path with some sheer drops down into the abyssal canyons below. And while plenty of tourists hike up Huayna Picchu, Machu Picchu Mountain, and to the Sun Gate, not many seem to go—or even know about—this alternative side trek.
