When hiking through the breathtaking Andes Mountains with Alpaca Expeditions, adventurers are treated to more than just stunning views and ancient Incan ruins. A lesser-known but captivating aspect of the journey involves encountering the natural scents of the trail—aromas produced by plants known as Inca Trail terpenes. These organic compounds are responsible for the fragrant characteristics of the native flora that thrive along the trail.

As you ascend through diverse ecological zones on the way to Machu Picchu, you’ll pass through lush cloud forests and alpine meadows, each filled with unique plant life. The smells of eucalyptus, orchids, wild mint, and other native plants are not only refreshing but are rich in terpenes—natural compounds studied for their therapeutic effects, including calming, energizing, and anti-inflammatory properties. With Alpaca Expeditions, your guides will help you identify and understand the natural sources of these aromas, adding a sensory dimension to your journey.

The presence of Inca Trail terpenes connects modern science with ancient tradition. For centuries, the Incas used local plants in rituals and medicine, intuitively harnessing the power of natural compounds found in their environment. Today, hikers can rediscover these connections through an immersive, nature-rich experience that engages both body and mind.
