Important Note:
Before taking this tour you must know about the new regulations created to minimize impact on the fragile environment of the Machu Picchu Sanctuary, now days only 500 people in total including guides, cooks and porters on the classic Inca Trail, the shorter Inca Trail and the Salkantay trek 7 days are allow to enter in Machu Picchu though the Inca trail daily.
We advise you to book early (at least 90 days in advance is recommended) to secure your spot.

On the other hand, you must have the following information to reserve as in your passport and from each participant in your group:

*Trek departure date:
*Prior arrival date in Cusco
*Name (as in your passport)
*Middle Name
*Surname
*Passport Number
*Citizenship
*Birth date
*Special Food Requirement
*Height
*Gender: Male / Female

We appreciate your cooperation in this fact as we are also working with the new regulations.

 

This itinerary is rated moderate and should only be undertaken by people who are fairly fit and take regular exercise. The trek starts at 2100m.a.s.l and climbs to 2700m.a.s.l (Wiñay Wayna) before descending to 2400m (Machu Picchu).
Since the trek start at a lower altitude than the Classic 4 day Inca Trail trek, you do not need to worry about acclimatization as much, although many people still find themselves short of breath when arriving at Wiñay Wayna, so this trek should certainly not be considered an easy option.
To fully enjoy an Inka Trail adventure, we advise passengers to get into an exercise program for their own safety and enjoyment.
If a passenger suffers from any medical condition, we advise him/her to consult a physician about joining an Inka Trail Expedition.
