Availability and How to Book
A great adventure begins with a decision; explore the world in a group.
The journey combined Lares + Inca Trail 2 days joins two unique experiences, cultural immersion deep in andean communities, and an ancient path that requires rigorous planning. While the Lares route offers flexibility and authentic contact, the stretch of the Inca Trail (Km 104) is strictly regulated by the Ministry of Culture, with only 250 spaces available per day for visitors and staff.
Why to book in advance?
Due to the high global demand, especially between may and October, the permits sold out very quickly. We recommend securing your space with 5 to 8 months in advance. This ensures quotas for all the shared group, an organization without stress and better schedules for trains and services.
