Are hiking sticks or poles necessary?

For this trek more than any other, we do recommend hiking sticks, especially for those with any known knee problems. The classic inca trail is full of steep ascents and steep drops on narrow Inka stairs. The poles will assist your balance and reduce the impact on your knees. *Inkayni Peru Tours and the INC (National Culture Institute) asks that you not use metal-tipped poles that will damage the trail.*

In addition, Inkayni Peru Tours will rent hiking sticks for $15

Where can I store my baggage that I don't need for the classic Inca trail?

Can I leave my belongings in your office?

On the other hand, any baggage that is not necessary for your trek may be stored in your hotel in Cusco (most hotels offer this service free of charge). In the case that your hotel may not provide this service, we will store your baggage safely in our office free of charge.

Should I hire an additional porter?

Remember that group service includes a personal porter to carry your things up to 05 kg / 11.02 lb for your classic inca trail. Before the start of your trek we will provide you with a duffle bag to bring your basic necessities, such as; sleeping bag (average 2,5 kg), and extra clothing (average 2,5 kg). Do not forget that your porter will not be hiking at your side during the trek. Which means you will still need to carry a daypack to have your personal things on-hand throughout the day, such as drinking water, snacks, camera, fleece, and raincoat.

How do Inkayni Peru Tours care for the porters?

a) GOOD WAGES:

As a responsible tour agency of classic inca trail, we pay our porters a salary of 210 Soles for the 4-day trek. AND their transportation expenses (nearly 20% above the legal minimum salary, making Inkayni one of the best trekking agencies in Cusco).

However, all agencies in Cusco should pay this amount, yet sadly, to this day there are many agencies not even paying the minimum legal salary.

b) APPROPRIATE WEIGHT LIMIT:

Within the basic policies of Inkayni Peru Tours is respect for all staff, which means not exceeding weight limits.

This factor is extremely important when choosing a travel agency for trekking.

Unfortunately, there are many irresponsible companies (even big-name commercial companies that have often grown due to labor exploitation). That force porters to carry well over 25 kg and disrespect their rights.

For this reason, Inkayni Peru tours will not offer you a private bathroom, hot showers, or a personal porter that will carry more than 5kg. This may exceed weight limits for our porters.

We kindly ask that before you choose a company for your trek that offers you these luxury services you consider the extra weight that will be on the shoulders of your porters.

c) INSURANCE:

Above all, Inkayni Peru Tours is one of the few companies that offer insurance for our porters.

d) TREKKING UNIFORMS:

Inkayni Peru Tours offers proper attire for all our staff of the classic Inca trail to Machu Picchu.

What is the weather like during the trek?

The best time for making the classic Inca trail with good weather is between the months of April – October when there is minimal rainfall and clear skies. The driest months are June – August, which is winter in the Andes.

When is the rainy season in Cusco?

Likewise, January to March is summer in Peru, which means the rainy season for Cusco. And especially the classic inca trail which is located mostly in the tropical cloud forest.

Are there bathrooms on the 4 days classic inca trail to Machu Picchu?

Many new outhouses have been added throughout the classic inca trail, mostly in the main designated campsites. This has greatly improved the sanitary conditions of the Trail, yet still, the situation is not always perfect. All outhouses have cold running water. We recommend you bring a hand-disinfectant for use after visiting the public outhouses. Before each meal, we will provide you with hot water and soap for washing.

What is the potable water situation along the classic inca trail?

Inkayni Perú Tours will provide you with boiled water after each meal-time, starting with lunch on the second day (02).

Can I buy bottled water during the classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?

Before this, you may purchase bottled water from small local ‘shops’ located outside local homes, offering water, gatorade, or soda. Above all, It is recommended that each person drink at least 02 to 03 liters of water each day.

You will also find small streams, or water on tap roughly every 2 hours along the classic inca trail. Where you may fill your bottle, provided you have a proper filtration/purification system. Water in the Andes is generally clean, but even though it may appear pure, you still must use a purification method for it to become safely potable.

Most importantly, Please consider the environment when you decide to travel and make a trek. Everyday technology is improving to make our lives easier and avoid trash. Bring a purification system or bottle (such as UV light) to avoid buying bottled water.

If I am traveling alone may I have my own tent ?

On the other hand, if you are traveling alone and are open to sharing a tent, perhaps with someone of the same sex, there will be no additional cost. NOTE that if you wish to have a private tent, there is an additional cost of US $40.

Is it guaranteed that we camp at Wiñaywayna on the third night of the Inka Trail ?

Likewise, Wiñay Wayna is the closest campsite to Machu Picchu, making it the favorite site for everyone. Camping at Wiñay Wayna allows groups to arrive very early in the morning to the Sun Gate. Unfortunately, there is not much space available at this site for all groups on the classic inca trail. The second closest campsite known as Phuyupatamarca is still a 5-hour hike to Machu Picchu.

What if we can’t camp at Wiñay Wayna on the Inca Trail 4 days?

When trekking permits are purchased, the government is responsible for assigning campsites to groups.

Therefore, Inkayni has the reputation of finalizing group reservations and obtaining permits well before other companies. Which means we often have the blessing of camping at Wiñay Wayna the majority of our treks. Between 2014 – 2019 we camped at Wiñay Wayna 99% of the time.

For instance, One group in all of 2015 could not camp at Wiñay Wayna, so they decided to arrive at Machu Picchu on the third day. Sleep in Aguas Calientes, and return to Machu Picchu the 4th morning for sunrise. All of 2016 had us at Wiñay Wayna for our groups on classic inca trail.

Where do I have to be the morning of the start of my trek and where will I finish at the end?

In short, We will pick you up from your hotel to begin your trek and upon finishing. We will also leave you at your hotel at the end of classic inca trail trek.

I wish to have a train company or train option different to that which Inkayni Peru Tours offers, is this possible?

Certainly, If you wish to change your train company or option (such as Vistadome de Peru Rail, to Ollantaytambo, or the whole route to Poroy). Or your departure time, additional fees may apply. You must speak with one of our sales agents to inquire about availability and the additional costs of classic inca trail.
