strictly limited the number of people permitted on the Inca
Trail during 2009 (permits are issued to about 200 trekkers per
day plus 300 porters). We recommend that you make a trek booking
as early as possible. In 2008 the trek permits for some dates
sold out more than 4 months in advance!! However don't make a
booking until you have all the group details (names, passport
numbers, ages etc) and you are sure about your trek departure
date since "these details cannot be changed after we have bought
your trek permit"

it is good for travelers who are in condition to hike up to ten
hours, with breaks in a single day to enjoy the Inka Trail. The
trekking will be difficult if you have not exercised regularly
before your trip. 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.

rest of your luggage at your hotel in Cusco (most of hotels and
