  • Inca Archaeological Sites: Explore key historic ruins including Patallacta, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarka, Intipata, and Wiñay Wayna.

Access to the Classic Inca Trail is limited by the Peruvian government, with a maximum capacity of 500 users per day, including trekkers and authorised support staff. The trail also requires a permit and must be booked through an authorised operator.

Because permits are limited, we recommend booking several months in advance, especially if you plan to trek during the popular dry-season months from April to October.

2 day trek to Machu Picchu was so amazing, I only wish I booked the 4 day trek

The 2 day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was everything I expected and more. Gorgeous from beginning to end. The tour guides were great and very knowledgeable. And if the trek wasn't beautiful enough, Machu Picchu was breathtaking. Thank you to the guides and porters for being so attentive.
