How to book (to be completed step by step).
Daily departures to lifetime experiences!
We strongly recommend making your reservation as soon as you are able as this is a very popular hike!
Important: Booking can be completed just by an e-mail sent to us or by using the booking form provided at the lower part
of the tour you are looking at.
Please read the following carefully before booking:
First Check Inca Trail Spaces Availability 2012 To Confirm your preferred departure dates and a back up date ***:
- Main departure date: MUST Do***
- Back-up date: MUST Do***
(this will allow us to book your alternative date immediately if necessary - i.e. if there are no spaces for your preferred date. It avoids delays in sending and responding to emails and the possibility of missing a booking for even your alternative date).
2. Send us the following information:
a,
- Full name (as it appears on passport)
- Gender
- Date of birth
- Passport number (it is important that we receive the passport number that you will use whilst on the trek; please advise if you think you will change your passport before you do the Inca trail)
- Nationality
b, Confirm whether you are a student (it is necessary to have a valid ISIC card to qualify as a student) and if so scan and email it at the time of booking. You will also need to take the original on the Inca Trail.
c, Decide whether or not you want an extra porter (Only for the Group service - It's Included in the Imperial Service) who would carry your personal belongings (the price of this service is $130). By hiring a porter you will only need to carry a very small day pack. (Please note, you can also share one porter between two people - up to 7 kilos each � costing $65 each.)
d, Let us know if you have any special dietary requirements or medical conditions that we should know about.
e, I/we have READ and ACCEPT your terms and conditions Terms and Conditions 2012 - MUST read and write YES within brackets ( ).
3. Pay a deposit (the rest can be paid in cash (American dollars / Peruvian soles) once you arrive in Cusco, 48 hours prior to trip departure. Please advise if you will have any delays on arrival).
The deposit amount is:
US$200 per person for Inca Trail only or
US$260 per person for Inca Trail + Wayna Picchu.

Sending your main Departure date and a back up date :
By providing us with a main date and a back up date for your trek (classic Inca
Trail, Lares, Salkantay, etc) you automatically authorize Llama Path to use
either of these dates for your reservation. Llama Path within the next 48 hours
(after you have sent us your booking form and confirm deposit was
made) will send you an electronic receipt confirming your trek has been
officially booked and also to confirm the exact departure date of your trek.
Important 2;
Altitude sickeness; we
strongly suggest staying at high altitude (above 3000 metres - in Cusco or
another high altitude city) for 3 to 4 days before undertaking the trip. This
is in order to minimize the effects of possible altitude sickness. Also, you
can help your body acclimatize by drinking plenty of liquids, adding a bit more
sugar to your drinks, eating food rich in carbohydrates, avoiding cigarettes and
alcohol and drinking coca (ancient traditional leaf) tea.
