One of the most famous hikes worldwide, the Classic Inca Trail starts at KM 82 and winds its way to an arrival in Machu Picchu on the fourth morning.

If not, we offer a range of less touristed and equally fascinating alternative hikes (see Traditional and True Adventure)

We currently do not run the Inca Trail, but recommend you check out the Inca Porter Project which provides alist of suggested questions for when you are booking your Classic Inca Trail from your home country
If you are interested in a sustainable Inca Trail, we highly recommend paying a little more and going with a reputable company!

We recommend Llama Path.

Inca Trail booking advice

Since 2004, the number of trek permits is limited to 500 per day (about 200 tourists and 300 trekking staff) so if you want to do this trek it is VITAL to book well in advance. For the high season (May to September) it advisable to book at least 3 months in advance to guarantee a place. Permits are sold on a first come, first served basis, and once all places have been booked, NO trekking operator can offer you a space on the Inca Trail. There is no system with a waiting list. All spaces are personal and non-transferable and even if someone would cancel, no one else could take that space.
Even in the low season you should book as far in advance as possible. Please also note that the Inca Trail is closed in February of each year for maintenance.

Following, are some other interesting sites which may help you when you are choosing to make your Inca Trail reservation.
