I thoroughly enjoyed the trekking with Celio as the guide. He showed great compassion to us and our fellow trekkers. He arranged the tour in an orderly manner. He introduced us to the highland communities, the Inca history, and what Alpaca Expedition has done for the highland people. He gave us free time to do our mini explorations. I would highly recommend Celio as a guide in a trekking tour.

We had an excellent experience with LimaTours. Every guide and driver involved throughout our trip was courteous, professional, punctual, and extremely friendly. Their English was excellent, which made everything very easy and comfortable for us. The company organized all of the logistics seamlessly, so all we had to do was show up. They handled every detail behind the scenes and quickly ironed out any issues that arose along the way. The entire experience felt smooth, stress-free, and very well coordinated. We highly recommend LimaTours to anyone visiting Peru.

Best time to visit Inca Trail
- 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.

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.

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.
