Inca Trail & Machu Picchu Tours with Local Experts

Yes! We strongly recommend booking your Machu Picchu or Inca Trail tours 4–6 months in advance. The Inca Trail has a strict daily permit limit and often sells out quickly during peak season.

The Inca Trail is a multi-day hike that follows the original Inca route to Machu Picchu, perfect for adventure lovers. The train tour is ideal if you're short on time or prefer a more comfortable way to visit the citadel in just one day.

Rainbow Mountain is a high-altitude trek that can be challenging due to the elevation (over 5,000m / 16,400 ft). It’s about a 1.5 to 2-hour hike uphill, but we move at a relaxed pace and provide oxygen and support if needed. Acclimatizing in Cusco beforehand is highly recommended.

Yes! The Sacred Valley Tour is great for travelers of all ages. It’s a cultural and scenic experience with short walks at each archaeological site (Pisac, Ollantaytambo, etc.) and plenty of time to explore at a relaxed pace.

Our Machu Picchu Full Day Tour includes hotel pick-up, round-trip transport (train + vehicle), bus tickets to the citadel, entrance fees, and a guided tour with a professional English-speaking guide. We handle all logistics so you can enjoy the experience stress-free.

For any tour, bring a small daypack, passport, sunblock, hat, light jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and a refillable water bottle. For higher-altitude treks like Rainbow Mountain, bring warm layers, gloves, and snacks.

The Short Inca Trail is a 1-day hike (or 2 days with overnight in Aguas Calientes) that covers the final stretch of the original Inca Trail, entering Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate (Inti Punku). It’s perfect for those who want a taste of the trail without the multi-day camping experience of the 4-day Classic Inca Trail.

Yes! The Salkantay Trek is a breathtaking alternative that takes you through high mountain passes, cloud forests, and diverse ecosystems before reaching Machu Picchu. It’s less crowded and doesn’t require a permit, making it a great option if Inca Trail permits are sold out.

Inca Trail permits are limited to 500 per day (including staff) and often sell out months in advance, especially for April to September. You can check availability through authorized agencies like ours. Booking 5–6 months early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dates.

Absolutely! Many travelers choose to explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley before doing the Short Inca Trail, as it helps with acclimatization and enhances your overall experience. We can customize your itinerary to include all highlights with smooth logistics.
