About the Inca Trail booking
Reserve in advance.
There are rules imposed by the Peruvian state that limit the Inca Trail traffic to 500 people per day, including guides, cooks, and porters who must carry all the camping equipment. The rules, do not allow pack animals on the Inca Trail this for the conservation of the old stone road.
The percentage of support personnel for hikers is almost 75% of the people who enter per day, and due to the high tourist demand on the Inca Trail, the spaces allocated for hikers are quickly depleted. For this reason, if you wish to walk along this incredible path, you must book at least 5 or 6 months in advance and through an authorized travel and tourism agency to operate the Inca Trail, such as Exclusive Perú Tours.
By providing us with the primary date and a backup date for your hike (classic Inca Trail) you automatically authorize Exclusive Perú Tours to use any of those dates for your reservation.
Exclusive Perú Tours within the next 48 hours (after you have sent us all your personal information and confirm that the deposit was made) will send you an electronic receipt confirming that your trip has been booked and also to confirm the exact date of departure of your walk.
You must provide us with the following information.
First, choose three different dates: the first date should be the main one and two optional backup dates in case we can’t reserve your first option because it can be exhausted. This does not often happen, because the Exclusive Perú Tours team works to obtain the first alternative.
