Nevertheless take note there is a limit of visitors per day so I suggest
you
to book the trip as soon as possible to guarantee your spots.
*Remember to take your passport and your isic card on the inca trail
because
without they you are not going to be able to do the hiking and take only
the
necessary items for the 4/3 days trek, the rest of your luggages you can
leave it at your hotel in Cusco (most of hotels and hostals has an
storage
where to keep until your return)
* Participants need to be in good physical health and condition to be
able
to enjoy the Inka Trail. The trekking will be difficult if you have not
exercised regularly before your trip. To fully enjoy an Inka Trail
adventure, we advise passengers to get into an exercise program for
their
own safety and enjoyment. If a passenger suffers from any medical
condition,
we advise him/her to consult a physician about joining an Inka Trail
Expedition.
