Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Availability 2023

The Inca Trail is one of the most popular treks in the world and heavily regulated by the Peruvian Government. You must hike with a licensed tour operator, like Alpaca Expeditions, who will secure your permit. Permits are limited for each day and EVERYONE on the trail needs one, including guide, chef and porters. So they sell out very quickly. When you are ready, BOOK HERE.

The information we use to secure your permit must match your passport information precisely. We will ask for your complete name (as listed on your passport), passport number, date of birth, nationality, and gender. The only information we are allowed to change/update is your Passport number. If your Passport is expired or you do not have one yet, we can use your old Passport or even your drivers license to book. Once the new Passport is available, please send us copies of the old book (or license) and new one and we will get it updated with the Ministry of Culture office.

As we told you during the pandemic, all deposits from those treks will be honored by Alpaca Expeditions. If you can’t hike the Trail with us this year, we will move to 2022. We have daily departures and can créate any trek as long as we have two trekkers. If your personal details have changed since your original booking, please make sure that you let our team know the new information.

Hiking the Inca Trail is an incredible feat, but totally achievable. You do not need any kind of specialty training to do either. In fact, most people who hike the Inca Trail have very little experience with hiking at all. Having a modest level of fitness will help you get through the hard parts and we will help with the rest. Once you book, get on that treadmill or bike, find some fun hikes around your área, or just march in place. Just get on your feet and start moving – its the best training you could do. And our team will handle all the carrying, food prep and encouragement you need to get up and down the mountain. By the time you get to Machu Picchu you will be feeling sorry for all those who took the train, thinking they missed the real adventure.
