Is this tour still available - 4-Day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – Small Group + Vistadome

For all month of May there are no available permits, however we can offer start from June 05th onwards, since there still are permits available.

Can you please share more information on your kids friendly tour to Machu Picchu

Our tours are kids friendly. How old are your children? About the date: July 8th, please note that the entrance tickets are sold out. The next avilable date is August 29th. Please let me know if you are able to start the tour on this date. If not, we can offer you the 2-day Short Inca trail version on July 8th.

Why aren't tour showing as 50% off? I went through and select Latin America and a classic Inca trail tour which was advertised as 50% off however I cannot find any dates that are showing that price? Everything is at full price April 2025 two people can I ask why it's advertised at 50% off then if it's only 12% off?

Our special offer was available only on December 27th and 28th and has unfortunately ended. Since the Inca Trail is an exclusive tour, we had only these two dates at such an incredible deal. However, if you let us know your preferred travel dates, we might be able to offer you a special discount based on availability.

I have a question about Classic Inca Trail To Machu Picchu 4 days. Your site has a special 50% off the original price of $795. However, when I try to reserve it, it shows the full price $795 and 12% discount. How can I book this trip with 50% discount.

This 2024 season, we're excited to offer a special 50% OFF for bookings only on two exclusive dates: December 29 or December 30. For any other dates in 2024, we're pleased to offer a special discount of 12%.

what is average age of the groups? What level of fitness is required? For camping, what bedding is provided?

The average age is 25 to 45 years old; travelers need moderate physical conditions to complete the hike. You will be hiking for around 8 hours on average per day in uneven terrain. We provide comfortable Eureka 4-season tents, foam matress and you need to bring sleeping bags for camping.

Can I still take this trip?

We dint have age restrictions for this trek, however, it's important to understand that this is a high altitude hiking, everyday we hike for an avera of 8 to 10 hours and the terrain is not even. Inca Trail is full of stairs up and down which makes one of the most difficult hikes in Peru.

Is this available around this date? We have found a lot of operators have said no

Permits are selling out faster than we can update availability. July is mostly sold out, the earliest available date is July 17th.

Are there any vaccination requirements / covid restrictions that need to be considered for the tour?

You need to be fully vaccinated to enter to Peru or have a negative covid test. Also, you need to wear a mask in all public areas.

we would love to experience classic 4-days Inca trail, but during booking I stumbled upon some ambiguities: a) we can select "twin room", but it should be tent, right ? b) I don't see where I can get/reserve sleeping bags and pads(and then pay the additional price). c) Is it possible to book Huayna Picchu later also through this site or tour ? d) Do we need inflatable air matraces or can we book traditional sleeping pads ?

May 16th is sold out and it's impossible to get the permits; we can offer you May 13th or May 19th.

What is the cancellation policy and fees if I need to change the dates of the trip?

During this pandemic, you can change travel dates with no fees, this is applicable only with travel restrictions. Inca Trail permits are usually nonrefundable and we recommend only changing the dates when is absolutely necessary.

Spectacular! From start to finish everything was clear and well organized. Pick up went as planned and the ride was comfortable, the company also stored the rest of our stuff. We were given duffle bags for things that we didn't want or need in our day backs and those were carried by amazing porters, more on them later. We also rented sleeping bags, inflatable pads and tracking poles -everything was in very good condition and served us well. The food throughout the whole trek was just out of this world. I don't know how they managed to cook such an wholesome dishes in conditions that one finds on a hike, but it was incredible, from traditional Peruvian soups, ceviche to cakes (yes, that's right). The guides were always helpful, cheerful and ready to say something interesting. Porters were supporting and the service they provide is unbelievable, we didn't worry about anything (and there is a lot of things to worry about/they provide: food, camps, water, tents and other facilities), because we knew that we can rely on them. We got to see sooo many lovely views, animals, plants and history, while hiking safely and supporting the local people. Inca trail is hard but so worth it. Thank you Trexperience for a chance to be a part of this.Show more

Incredible - from start to finish, this was amazing. Adolfo and Yoner, our tour guides, did everything they could to make this a fantastic experience, and Adolfo's Quechua heritage added real depth and knowledge to the trek. And the food... How the chef, Rolando, managed to make so much amazing food (honestly - every meal three courses of better quality than most of the restaurants we ate in pre/post trek) with just the equipment carried by the porters is unbelievable. They even made and decorated a cake for our penultimate day as three of us had big birthdays that month! And as for the Inca Trail itself - magical. If you're interested, I suggest just doing it without researching the route too much, so you don't anticipate the Inca settlements etc that you'll come across along the way, and you'll feel the full impact of the awe inspired by these amazing places - each day better than the last. There are some serious heights and precipitous drops to tackle, but if you're like me and go wobbly at the knees from such things, the route builds you up slowly so by the 4th day you're able to deal with them - and even Huayna Picchu at the end (very much recommended)! All in all, 100% recommended, especially with this team. Just make sure you're fully acclimatised to the altitude before starting this amazing experience.Show more
