Availability

Limited spaces on the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu
The Inca Trail is a protected area of invaluable environmental and archaeological. To ensure their conservation, the access is limited to only 500 people per day, a figure which includes all visitors, guides, cooks and porters.

Important: this daily availability applies to all versions of the Inca Trail -4, 5 -, and 6— days, which means that all groups share the same quotas.

In addition, under the final regulation of the Ministry of Culture of Peru, every traveler who want to go this route, you must have two separate permissions:

Permission to enter the Inca Trail.
Permission to enter Machu Picchu, the capacity of which is limited to 4,600 people a day.
This dual authorization makes the spaces run out even faster, since thousands of people in the world dream to conquer Machu Picchu each day. That’s why, if you want to ensure this shared adventure, we recommend you to book with 6 to 10 months in advance, especially if planning to travel during high season (may to October).
