I went to book this trip and it said there was an age restriction to 55. Since I am 58, I don't fit that requirement. Can you explain why there is an age restriction and what is necessary for an exception? The hiking distances and altitude are within what I consider doable. My travelling partner is within the age range.

Sometimes we put this restrictions to know more about our clients's physical situation. Does anyone in your group has problems with the hiking activity or any comment we must know? We can run the hike with no issue. Consider that the hidden Inca Trail is a less crowded way to get to Machu Puccu but it's not the classic Inca Trail.

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.Show more

Asked on November 29th, 2025
I went to book this trip and it said there was an age restriction to 55. Since I am 58, I don't fit that requirement. Can you explain why there is an age restriction and what is necessary for an exception? The hiking distances and altitude are within what I consider doable. My travelling partner is within the age range.

  Traveler•Written November 2025
  We have no problems with hiking in the mountains (with distance as well as elevation changes) as we do it in the Rocky Mountains near us in Calgary. We liked this hike because it was less travelled, plus the distances and elevations seemed more reasonable. Can you maybe confirm the distances and elevations for each day?

  Traveler•Written November 2025
  It looks like the tour on your website is somewhat different than what is here on tourradar. Can you tell me what the differences are? One I noticed was camping in Aguas Calientes on your site vs a hotel on this one. Also, looking at Day 2 (Huyro-Inca Carcel-Santa Teresa), how much of that day is climbing versus descending?
- Inkayni Peru ToursOperator•Written November 2025
  In Aguas Calientes, you will spend the night in a hotel. The itinerary will be carried out according to our website. On day 2, the trail is not as steep, and you will walk on flat terrain.
