Inca Trail Regulations - Protect the Inca Trail!

Planning to go on an Inca Trail adventure? If so, you have got to the right place; here you will find travel experts; that of TOUR IN PERU. We will help all along the arrangements of your Inca Trail adventure. Contact us before making your reservations (bookings); we’ll inform you about the availability and about all the necessary stuff for you to have a great adventure with family, friends or your special group!

Due to government regulations on the numbers of trekkers permitted on the Inka Trail, all bookings or reservations must be made well in advance. Please read the following information carefully before making reservations (bookings).

Make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after the date that you enter Peru. Without your passport information, we will not be able to get you a trek permit (won’t be able to make the reservations or bookings). For US citizens please click here for information on how to get your passport in a hurry.

The exact information on your passport will be written on your trek permit when making the reservations and bookings. After purchasing the permit, we cannot change the date of trek departure or change the name of the person doing the trek. When you start the Inca Trail, government representatives will check your passport details against the details on the trek permit. If the details are not the same on the trek permit, then you will not be allowed to start the trek. If the personal information provided for the Inca trail permit is not accurate and the permit has to be re-issued, an extra fee will apply and not to mention all the inconveniences.
(If any member of your group does not have their passport number or is waiting for a new passport, please wait until all information is available before making the Inca Trail bookings and/or Reservations.)

Check for Inca Trail Permits, review the information of the package, submit the online booking and reservations information; all the information is required. We will contact you as soon as possible to confirm your Inca Trail Booking and assist you in customizing a unique package. Please specify if you require the services of an additional porter as this detail cannot be changed after making the reservations and bookings.
Payment: A deposit is required to proceed with the Inca Trail permit process (to make the reservations and bookings). We accept all major credit card payments, including Visa, MasterCard, and Western Union. You will proceed with your deposit payment through our secure server after submitting the online booking or reservation form. We also accept checks, wire transfer or direct deposit.

Important: Inca Trail Permits are sold on a first-come and first-served basis. It is still possible for us to secure permits even when availability shows less than 10 permits left. In the unlikely case that we are not able to get the last permit and you are not able to do the trek on a different date, the full deposit will be refunded to your account. The deposit becomes non-refundable once it has been issued and confirmed by the Peruvian Government.

We recommend arriving in Cusco 2 or 3 days before trek departure to ensure that you are better acclimatized to the high altitude. Contact our travel advisors to learn about all the necessary details before making reservations and booking your Inca Trail adventures.

Student discounts: If you are claiming a student discount you must send us a ‘JPEG’ scan of your ISIC card by email immediately after submitting your Reservation form. Only a valid Card is acceptable. If you cannot provide us with a scan of your ISIC Card, we will charge you the standard adult trek price. Bring your student card with you on the Inca Trail as it will be checked several times by government officials. Unfortunately no other forms of student identity are acceptable.

Child discounts: Children under 16 years old receive a US$20 discount. If you are claiming a child discount you must send us a ‘JPEG’ scan of your child’s passport (page containing photo and date of birth) by email within 3 days of us accepting your Inca Trail bookings (reservations). If you cannot provide us with a scan of your child’s passport within 3 days of us accepting your booking (reservations) we will charge you the standard adult trek price for your child.

IMPORTANT: Please note we are unable to accept any bookings (reservations) without ALL of the passport information. You can provide an old passport number, but you MUST bring the old passport on the Inca trail in Peru or your new passport must contain the old passport number inside. This is checked at the start of the Inca Trail. If the original passport number you booked (reserved) with, does not match up, you will be unable to trek. Single travelers Inca Trail bookings (reservations) are accepted for the group service.
