The Inca Trail stands as one of the world’s premier trekking experiences, known for its stunning landscapes and ancient ruins culminating in Machu Picchu. Due to its popularity, securing your spot on the Inca Trail requires advanced planning. Availability is limited, influenced by seasonal factors, group size, and Peruvian government regulations.
Each year, only 500 trekking permits are issued daily for the Inca Trail, including permits for support staff like porters, cooks, and guides. Therefore, early booking is crucial to secure your place. As demand fluctuates and logistics need careful consideration, it’s advisable to secure your Inca Trail permit well ahead of your intended travel date.
The optimal time to embark on the Inca Trail is during the dry season from May to September. This period also coincides with peak visitor numbers, underscoring the importance of early reservations to ensure availability and a seamless experience.

Our Inca Trail Itinerary
Below is a detailed outline of our Inca Trail journey, focusing on the hiking days:
Day 1: Begin from Ollantaytambo in the morning, reaching km. 82 and ascending to the campground.
Day 2: Start early, trekking through the cloud forest, ascending to Dead Woman’s Pass, and descending afterward.

The Inca Trail is an ancient network of roads constructed by the Inca civilization that connected various regions of the Inca Empire. The most popular and well-traveled segment is the one leading to Machu Picchu, starting from the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
There are several routes to reach Machu Picchu, with the most well-known being:
Please be aware that Peru requires passports to be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay. If your passport expires within this timeframe from your planned entry date to Peru, you must renew it before your trip. Entry to Peru may be denied if this requirement is not met.
If you’re booking your trek with us and your passport falls within this category, you can still secure your Inca Trail permits and Machu Picchu tickets through us. However, please ensure to update your passport details with us before your journey to Peru. Failure to do so could result in the forfeiture of your reserved permits and tickets.
