Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I bring a large backpack to the Inca Trail?
No, only day backpacks (max 25-30 liters) are allowed on the Inca Trail. Your main luggage will be securely stored at your hotel or our office in Cusco for free.
Are trekking poles provided or should I bring my own?
While you can bring your own, quality trekking poles are available for rent at $10.00 per pair. Please note that poles used on the Inca Trail must have rubber tips to protect the stone path.
How do I prepare for high altitude?
We strongly recommend acclimatizing in Cusco for a minimum of 2 days before the trek. The best preparation involves drinking plenty of water, avoiding heavy meals and alcohol upon arrival, and considering altitude medication after consulting your doctor.
Are permits for the Inca Trail Short required, and how far in advance should I book?
Yes, Inca Trail permits are strictly limited and required. We strongly recommend booking at least 3-4 months in advance, especially for high season (May-September), as they often sell out faster than Machu Picchu tickets.
What happens if I can't complete the full trek due to physical limitations?
This is a challenging trek; however, in case of emergency or extreme fatigue, your guide will arrange for a porter or, in the worst-case scenario, an early departure via the train from Km 104. Your guide will always carry an emergency oxygen tank.
