IMPORTANT NOTE OF INCA TRAIL
*****************************
*Reservations need to be done two months prior to arrive to Cusco.
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.
