This extended version of our classic Inca Trail trek includes pre-trek and post-trek amenities, airport pick-up and drop-off, and wonderful acclimatization activities so you can focus 100% on enjoying Peru (see classic version). After acclimatizing, we will hike the entire Inca Trail, which combines snow-capped mountains, lush cloud forests, subtropical jungle, and a magnificent mix of Inca ruins to justify its status as one of the world’s most famous adventures!
Wildland Trekking’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Trek gives you the ability to enjoy our premier camping accommodations; to hike with light day packs as porters transport the bulk of gear and food; to enjoy wonderful Peruvian cuisine prepared by our outdoor chef; to access safe drinking water for the duration of the trip; and most importantly to fully maximize your Peruvian adventure.
Inca Trail Registration Process
Peru begins offering permits for the Inca Trail (does not include the Short Inca Trail Lodge-based Tour) at different times each year, but normally between November 1 and December 15 for the following year. We secure Inca Trail permits for our registered guests the first day they become available and cannot guarantee specific dates until they are secured.
To secure spots on a permit, we must have verified, registered guests, so we strongly recommending registering before October 1 of the year prior to your intended trip. We have a high success rate with securing permits, but if unsuccessful, we offer a full transfer or refund of your deposit.
Feel free to call us at 800-715-HIKE (4453) with any questions about the Inca Trail permit process.
