Ready for adventure? Bookings open for Inca Trail 2025

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the world's most iconic trekking experiences, offering a perfect blend of adventure, history and stunning natural beauty.

Bookings for the Inca Trail 2025 are now open, and as tickets for this route are limited, it is important to book well in advance, especially in the high season (May to September).

Access to the Inca Trail is regulated to preserve its beauty, with only 500 permits issued per day (including guides and porters). This controlled access ensures that your trek feels intimate and special, free from overcrowding.

Unlike other ways to reach Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail offers the unparalleled thrill of arriving at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) at sunrise. This moment, when the first rays illuminate the ancient citadel, is a once-in-a-lifetime reward for your effort and endurance.

The Inca Trail isn’t just a leisurely stroll—it's a challenging trek that demands determination and resilience. Covering approximately 26 miles (42 km) over four days, the trail takes you through varied terrains, steep ascents, and high-altitude passes like Dead Woman’s Pass (4,215 meters/13,828 feet). Completing the trek is a badge of honor for any adventure enthusiast.

Hiking the Inca Trail with local guides provides a deep connection to Andean culture. Knowledgeable guides share stories, myths, and insights into Incan history and the significance of the sacred landscape.

Choosing the Inca Trail is more than just a travel decision—it's a commitment to an extraordinary adventure. For those who love a challenge, value cultural and natural immersion, and dream of walking in the footsteps of the Inca, this trek is an unparalleled journey worth every step.
