The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most sought-after trekking experiences in the world. This ancient route, once traveled by the Incas, winds through breathtaking landscapes, including towering mountains, cloud forests, and captivating archaeological sites. Carved centuries ago, this stone-paved path was used by the Incas to reach the legendary Lost City of Machu Picchu.Today, the Inca Trail remains a bustling pathway, attracting thousands of adventurers from around the globe.

Our Inca Trail tours offer a variety of options to suit different schedules and budgets. Whether you're looking for a short trek or a multi-day adventure, you can choose the ideal experience. However, securing your spot on the trail is crucial due to strict government regulations. Only 500 permits are issued per day, with around 200 reserved for trekkers and the remaining for guides, cooks, and porters.During peak season (May to September), permits can sell out as far as five months in advance. To ensure your spot during these dates, it's recommended to book as early as possible.

If permits for the classic Inca Trail are sold out, don't worry! There are several alternative treks to Machu Picchu, each with its own unique charm. You can explore the challenging Choquequirao trek, the cultural Lares trek, or the scenic Salkantay trek. Each of these routes offers a different perspective of the Andean landscape and leads to the same awe-inspiring destination: Machu Picchu.
