Absolutely! When hiking the two 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.
Unfortunately, it is not an option to change the date of departure once Inca Trail 2-day permits have been purchased. According to government regulations, Inca Trail permits are non-transferable and nonrefundable. The only information that can be modified is the passport number.
It's best to give yourself some time to adjust to the altitude before starting your hike. It is suggested that those coming from sea level stay in Cusco at least two days prior to the Inca Trail, while those from higher altitudes can arrive one day before their departure.
We typically book the 06:10 am train schedule from Ollantaytambo to Kilometer 104 on day 1, with a return journey of 02:55 pm, so you will arrive back in Cusco at 06:30 pm. This allows for sufficient time to rest and enjoy any subsequent activities such as visiting Rainbow Mountain the following day.

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.
