INCA TRAIL FAQ´S

The Inca trail is a famous hiking trail in Cusco, Peru. It has many variations including the popular Classic Inca Trail and Short Inca Trail. The trail follows in the same footsteps the Incas took more than 600 years ago, enroute to the sacred Machu Picchu Citadel. Also known as “Camino Inka”.

The trail begins in the small town of Ollantaytambo and finishes in Machu Picchu. You have the pleasure of trekking through various micro-climates in the Andes Mountain before arriving to the citadel, which is in subtropical climates.

The only way to book the Inca Trail is to source a tour operator that’s been licensed and authorized by the Ministry of Culture. Once you have chosen a tour operator, next step is to select your travel dates and check availability.

After we confirm availability for the dates required, you must then pay your deposit. Next, forward personal information with a copy of your passport. Finally, we will book your tickets and send you a confirmation email.

Since 2002, everyone who has hiked the Inca Trail needs a guide and permit. The Peruvian government imposed a number of regulations and limitations in order to help preserve the trail. The most important of these regulations is the number of people that can start the trek on any given day.

Permits for the Inca Trail can only be obtained through a licensed tour operator. You cannot obtain a permit yourself. You must provide accurate passport information at the time of booking.

The permits are not transferable and you have to bring the same passport you used to book your trek, otherwise the rangers will not allow you to enter onto the trail. Your personal information and passport number needs to match your permit.

This is fully dependent on the tour operator you choose. With Orange Nation you can look forward to a licensed, bilingual and knowledgeable guide for the entirety of the trek. Also included is a guided tour inside the Citadel of Machu Picchu.

In addition, we provide personal porters to carry your luggage (up to 7Kg) and to set up your campsites during the hike. Our chef and his assistant will prepare abundant, restaurant standard meals. Finally, we provide camping equipment of the highest standard.
