Inca Trail Availability

Experience the essence of the Inca Trail in just two days. You’ll begin at Km 104, winding through verdant cloud forest and fragrant orchid groves, then traverse original stone staircases carved by the Incas. On Day 2, you’ll arrive at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) at sunrise for a spectacular first glimpse of Machu Picchu, before descending into the ancient citadel.

Low Season (November – March): Fewer crowds and more open slots—watch for seasonal discounts.

Peak Season (June – August): Permits sell out within hours. Book at least 4 months in advance.

Shoulder Season (April, May, September, October): Moderate availability and special rates.

• Embark on the full classic route to fully immerse yourself in Andean history and landscapes. Over four days, you’ll hike through high-altitude passes like Dead Woman’s Pass, explore lesser‑known Inca ruins such as Runkuracay and Sayacmarca, and pass the stunning terraces of Wiñay Wayna before reaching Machu Picchu at dawn on Day 4. Each night is spent camping under the stars or at eco‑lodges nestled along the trail.
• High Demand (June – August): Reserve up to 6 months ahead for guaranteed permits and small-group service.
• Best Availability (March, April, September, October): Fewer trekkers, lush scenery, and better wildlife sightings.
• Off‑Peak (November – February): Cooler weather, lower crowds, occasional light showers.
