A once in a lifeime experience! Trexperience had great administration and made the trip completely hassle free, allowing you to focus on the climb and culture itself. Our guide Jason was engaging and never left us in any doubt as to what we could expect from the trip, highly recommend!

We did the Classic Inka Trail but 5D4N. This was an excellent option as it gave more time to really appreciate the magnificence of this trail. It also meant that we had an overnight in a hotel in Machu Picchu after the 4th day before doing the tour of Mach Picchu on the 5th day which meant we could enjoy it when we were fresh. The organisation of the whole trek was really impressive and we ate like kings! It’s a tough trek (certainly for the over 60s) but so worthwhile. Our guide Jean Carlo was really knowledgeable and absolutely committed to giving us all the best experience.

This will be an excellent trip once all of the kinks have been worked out. I understand that this route is new, and that showed during our tour. Our guide was great and very helpful, and we felt well taken care of. The first day though felt a bit disorganized as the plans changed several times (particularly around spacing of meals) and the route was difficult to follow. It didn't help that we chose to tour during the rainy season and several routes were washed out. In all I would recommend the tour and hopefully the learnings from our tour will help improve it for others in the future.

Best time to visit Inca Trail
- Spring 2026
Spring hits the sweet spot for Inca Trail hiking with clear mornings and just-right temperatures. Our well-rated spring tours blend 4-day treks with market visits and cooking classes. The trail start at Km 82 is a favorite with TourRadar travelers - you'll pass through small villages before reaching camp at Wayllabamba. Guides share deep knowledge about Inca astronomy, building techniques and also medicinal plants along the way. Some spring tours include special permits to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, which need booking well ahead.

- Summer 2026
Summer brings the driest weather and clearest skies to the Inca Trail. Our popular 2-day summer options still cover key sites like Wiñay Wayna ruins and sunrise at Sun Gate. The full 4-day route takes you up Dead Woman's Pass at 4,215 meters - it's a real challenge but our travelers say nothing beats that feeling when you reach the top. The porters are incredible, running ahead with gear to set up comfortable camps and cook proper meals. Many summer routes include extra time in Cusco's historic center, Sacred Valley markets and also traditional weaving villages.

Autumn Inca Trail trips offer great value with smaller groups and reliable weather. Our fall tours come with nice extras - dedicated chefs cooking local dishes, hot showers at camp and also comfortable sleeping setups. TourRadar customers love that final morning walk to Sun Gate, arriving just as the mist lifts over Machu Picchu. The guides time everything perfectly to avoid crowds at ruins like Runkuraqay and Sayacmarca. Several autumn treks include time with local Sacred Valley communities before hitting the trail.
