Important: We strongly recommend you making your reservation as soon as you are able as this is going to be a busy year to trek the Inca Trail due to Machu Picchu 100 years of its Discovery!

Important: 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.

If you do want to confirm your reservation, please do the following:

 1. Confirm your preferred departure dates:

-          Main departure date: MUST Do

2. Send us the following information:

 a,

- Full name (as it appears on passport)

- Gender
