  • J

    John

    Asked on August 21st, 2026

    How fit would you have to be for inca trail? I hike lots but going up a mountain always takes me a little longer than 30 year olds (I'm 61)

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Inkayni Peru ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      The Inca Trail is challenging but incredibly rewarding. While it is lower in elevation than a lot of the other treks in the area (Cusco), there are very steep sections and two high passes. About half of the trail is on Inca steps and stones, most of which are uneven and of different heights. But if you are fairly active in your daily life and enjoy hiking long distances, you'll do fine.

      John

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      When we arrive in Machu Picchu, which circuit will we Tour? I understand there are 3 different ones with #2 being most popular.

    • Inkayni Peru ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      The entrance to Machu Picchu included is the Circuit 3B (subject to the availability of Inca Trail permits)

    Crystal

    Asked on May 7th, 2026

    I believe things are booked, but I wanted to check to see if there were any Classic Inca Trail tours for 1 person for a departure date anywhere between mid-May and mid-June 2026. No worries if things are full, but wanted to see if perhaps someone has made a late cancellation with a spot being opened up.

    Price / Availability
    • Inkayni Peru ToursOperator•Written May 2026

      Peruvian authorities are responsible of availability for the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu (permits are limited, personal, untransferable, and non-refundable), once permits are sold out, there is no way for us to get any permit, also this availability is the same for all travel agencies, we apologize by the bad news but all permits are sold out for this May and June.
