Looking for more inspiration? Visit our gallery: Experience Peru. Before taking our Inca Trail 3 Days Tour you should take into count the following information:
Absolutely! When hiking the five day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, your luggage can be safely stored at our office or at your hotel - whichever is more convenient for you. Be sure to only bring what you need during the five day journey.
Once you have purchased your Inca Trail permit, the Peruvian government does not allow any changes. These tickets cannot be transferred or refunded, with the exception of a change in passport numbers.
It is absolutely essential that you bring the exact same passport that you provided to us when booking your Inca Trail three-day permit. Your passport will be checked at the start of the Short Inca Trail, as well as Machu Picchu and upon boarding the train.
If you are renewing your passport, please provide us with a copy of your old passport to book your Inca Trail three-day permit. If you have lost your old passport, then any other government-issued ID will be accepted so long as it has the same name. Once you get your new passport, kindly send us a copy of it as soon as possible to update the information on your permit.
Generally, the 06:10 am departure from Ollantaytambo to Kilometer 104 is booked on Day 1. The return trip departs at 02:55 pm, meaning you would arrive in Cusco at approximately 06:30 pm. This gives you enough time to rest and explore attractions like Palcoyo Mountain the following day.
As the tour begins in Cusco, it is not possible to stay in the Sacred Valley for three days.
Choosing to book a hotel independently in Aguas Calientes and Ollantaytambo can help reduce the cost of your hike, saving up to $65 per person. Make sure you let us know the details of your accommodation so that our guide can ensure your safe arrival.
Bringing your pet is unfortunately not allowed on the Short Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. Only Guide Dogs are accepted, but you must obtain a special permit to do so.
The Inca Trail 3-day hike has no age limit, but it is recommend that the minimum age should be 7, due to the presence of challenging sections which may be too arduous for those with shorter legs.

TRUSTWORTHY EXPERIENCE
From the time we arrived in Peru until the last minute that we stayed there, we were taken good care of by the VSA team! Loved how tailor-made their services are, custom-made to the time we had in Peru and the places we most wanted to experience. I look forward to visiting South America again and knowing VSA will be there to take care of absolutely everything makes us more at ease to travel there.
