Can you arrange for airport pick up on May 10th and add an extra hotel day?

Unfortunately this departure and all other departures in May have the Inca trail permits SOLD OUT. So you have the option to look at a later date, next available departure for the Inca trail is the 11th of June (1 space remaining). Otherwise there is the option to do an alternative hike called the Lares trek or visit Machu picchu by train.

Is it possible for you to match me up with another female traveller or do you charge a single supplement? What is the best month to hike I heard it was may or sept/October?

Ours tours are standard twin share basis where you are roomed with another traveller of same gender and similar age (where possible). If you wish to have you own room you can add it additionally. Please note that on this trip, you would have your own room on all nights stops except nights 3-5 on the Inca trail camp. The best time to hike is during Peru's dry season which is May to September. October is still good as well however there is more change of it raining during that time.

Any availability for 2 adults starting Oct 11 ending Oct 17?

Inca Trail permits are completely sold out for the whole month of October, but you could opt to do the Lares Trek or Machu Pichu by train as an alternative

How challenging is the Inca Trail and what should I be physically prepared for?

The Inca Trail is challenging due to its altitude and rugged terrain. It's recommended to be in good physical condition and acclimatize to the altitude ahead of the trek.

What is the procedure for getting water during the day?

Drinking water is provided at all campsites, and you will have the option to refill during your hike. The water is filtered and boiled for safety.

If I join the rainbow mountain trip, what time would the trip end at Cusco?

The group will arrive back to Cusco at 6pm if you do the Rainbow Mountain Hike.

Is this the Inca trail HIKING trip? I found trips that seem to be bus tours to Machu Pichu, not hiking.

This trip includes the 4 day Inca Trail hike. Permits are limited and can sell out months in advance.

What are the health and safety measures on the trek?

Health and safety are prioritized with guides trained in first aid and emergency procedures. Ensure to have personal medical supplies and insurance.

I would like to book this package with my friend but we will be paying separately (although arriving together). How do we do this through the website? I have questions about the trek itself before we book; such as: where do we get the water that we use to drink; is there any connectivity overnight in the tents, to charge cameras; if we come in a day early, can we do any of the cooking classes in Cuzco that are advertised on the Inca Discovery Plus trip; if one of us requires a special meal advertised, do we inform you on booking; are there any plane trips directly into Cuzco, or only from Lima...

We supply water filling stations usually at the hotels and also on the Inca Trek as well. There will be no connectivity whist on the Inca Trail as the camps dont electricity to charge batteries etc, so you would need to have spare batteries already charged. The cooking classes are not offered as pre or post activities for this trip. You would need to advise us of any special meal requirements at the time of booking, so we can make sure you are accommodated. There are no direct international flights into Cuzco, as it is really only a domestic airport. You will need to travel via Lima in each direction.

Is it possible to get a private room on any of the tour dates starting between August 23-28th? It isn't an option on the booking page, however it is an option on later bookings but I can't do those dates.

At this stage all of our August departures are on request, so what you would need to do is request the booking and the single supplement, which will hold your credit card for the full amount. We would then go off to our local office to see if they can confirm for you. This process takes 3-4 business days and if the trip is not confirmed, then we would not charge your card. If you are wanting to do the Inca Trail, there are no trek permits available until mid-october, so you would need to choose the Lares Trek or Cusco stay as the alternative.

Classic Inca trail 4d 3n, 31/08 Group 6 "sexy Llamas" :D Where do I start? Amazing, just absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Booking online was easy, email communication was effortless. All information is easily accessible. The pre-treck briefing was very good, all information was there. Good slide show preparing you for everything that will be happening along the way, including planning toilet breaks 🤪 The trail staff, porters, cooks, chef, guides...I can't say thank you enough for their amazing work!!! Need to mention Emerson our Chef and Primitivo the head porter, thank you and your team's for all your hard work 🙏 I have to say, attention to details, food presentation, fancy table napkins folds, your tent and duffle bag ready for you when you arrive, warm welcome, and all of this after they have hiked the same distance as you with massive bags on!! Absolute Heros! Our Guide Yonathan and assisted guide Efrain were incredible, very supportive, and treated everyone as an individual. So much knowledge and passion made this trip truly memorable. They have worked very well together and helped me thru the toughest times on the trail. GAdventures also look after their staff well, good equipment and fair working conditions.Show more

Unforgettable! The people, the food, the trail, the beautiful sites, everything was perfect! I will look back on this trip and remember the smiles, cheers, high-fives and overall kindness of each of our 24 porters, the delicious food and feeling of home that our chefs were able to create, and the endless support, encouragement, laughter, smiles and culture sharing our assistant guide Almandra and head guide Enrique were able to bring us all is something I will cherish forever.Show more

This trip was the best travel experience I have had so far. Our guides (Enrique and Almandra) created a family out of our group - there was so much support, laughs, and sharing of personal experiences along the way. They were extremely motivating and positive. I only have great things to say about them, and will be recommending this tour and these guides to friends and family who want to do this trip next! I was especially impressed and humbled by the hard work of the porters and chefs on the Inka Trail. They are the hardest working people I have ever come across, and I have so much respect for their dedication and hard work. They were all so kind and supportive in our journey and it did not go unnoticed.Show more

I was excited but apprehensive about the Trail in the days leading up the Inca Trail. I knew I'd put in a lot of work training and preparing for the trip but was nervous I wouldn't make it. Joel and Katya were amazing supports on the Trail and super encouraging at every stage of the journey - celebrating the achievements even when I was too tired to celebrate myself. Francisco & Cristobel's cooking was honestly some of the best food I ate in Peru with so much care and detail put into every meal! And honestly, I'm still in awe of the porter's and everything they do to make the journey more comfortable/achievable! There is no way I'd be able to have completed the trail while carrying a tent, sleeping bag, food, cooking for myself etc etc. Group 10 were so lovely and welcoming and Jason's waitering was always done with a huge smile! I'm so grateful for everything G Adventures provided and all the support from the team over the 4 day trip!Show more

  Unfortunately we are restricted by the number of INCA Trail permits that are available, so we offer the other 2 options as an alternative (which doesn't show up on the Tour Radar website). Once the Inca Trail Permits are sold out there is no other way that we can secure the permits.
