FAQs for a Slow Inca Trail 9-Day Tour Package

What is the “Slow Inca Trail” and how is it different from the classic version?
The Slow Inca Trail is a gentler, 5-day trek version of the traditional 4-day route, designed to reduce daily hiking time, allow better acclimatization, and provide a more relaxed, immersive experience.

What does the 5-day itinerary include?
It includes guided tours in Lima and Cusco, acclimatization time in the Sacred Valley, a 4-day guided trek on the Inca Trail, one overnight near Machu Picchu, and a full guided visit to the citadel.

Is this tour suitable for beginners or older travelers?
Yes. The slower pace and additional rest stops make it ideal for those with moderate fitness, older travelers, and people new to high-altitude hiking.

What’s included in the package?
Airport transfers, accommodation in Lima and Cusco, all meals during the trek, camping gear, entrance fees (Inca Trail & Machu Picchu), professional guide, porters, and domestic flights.

Are international flights included?
No. International airfare to and from Peru is not included in the package.

How high is the Inca Trail, and will I experience altitude sickness?
The trail reaches a maximum altitude of 4,215m (13,828 ft). Altitude sickness is possible, which is why the itinerary includes extra time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley for acclimatization.

How many hours of hiking are done each day?
Typically 4–6 hours per day, with more time for rest, cultural stops, and acclimatization than on the classic version.

What level of fitness is required?
A moderate fitness level is recommended. Daily walks at altitude can be challenging, but the slower pace and support from guides and porters help ease the journey.

What kind of accommodation is provided during the trek?
Tented campsites with quality camping gear are used on the trail. A hotel stay near Machu Picchu is usually included on the final night before visiting the ruins.

Are meals provided during the trek?
Yes. All meals during the trek (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) are prepared fresh daily by trekking chefs.

Is a guide included?
Yes. A licensed, English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the trek and during city tours.

What is the group size?
Group sizes are typically small, ranging from 2 to 12 people, allowing for a more personalized experience.

Do I need permits for the Inca Trail?
Yes. Permits are required and are included in the package, but they are limited, so booking several months in advance is necessary.

How far in advance should I book this tour?
At least 4–6 months in advance, especially for high season (May to September), as permits for the Inca Trail are limited and sell out quickly.

What should I pack for the trek?
Essential items include good hiking boots, layered clothing, a rain jacket, sun protection, insect repellent, a sleeping bag (can often be rented), and a daypack.

Will porters carry my gear?
Yes. Porters carry all camping equipment and most of your belongings. You’re only responsible for your daypack (camera, water, jacket, etc.).

Are there restrooms or showers on the trail?
Basic toilets are available at most campsites. Showers are rare; some locations may offer cold or basic facilities.

Is drinking water provided?
Yes. Boiled and filtered water is provided daily during the trek for refilling water bottles.

What’s the weather like during the trek?
Dry season (May–September) is ideal, with cool nights and sunny days. Rainy season (November–March) brings warmer temps and more frequent showers.

Is this tour customizable?
Yes. Most operators allow you to add extra days in Lima, Cusco, or extend to destinations like Lake Titicaca or the Amazon.

10/10 Experience - Would Recommend! We had an amazing time on the Salkantay 5 Day Trek. Before the trip started, Quechuas had great communication and was very accommodating to our travel schedule, including adjusting our briefing time with our guide.The skydome accomodations were great (all fairly spacious, with exception of night 2, which was fine as we didn’t spend much time there), the food was delicious (a great variety and always more than enough to go around) and the trek itself was beautiful. Our guide Steven, as well as second guide Jorge, were very patient, knowledgeable and kind to us and the others in our group - not only did we get to see incredible scenery but we also learned a lot about the local landscape and culture.We rented sleeping bags, which we would highly recommend. We brought our own hiking poles but would recommend renting if you don’t bring your own.Overall, an amazing experience and we would highly recommend this company.

Seamless and Supportive Inca Trail Experience – Highly Recommend We recently completed the 4-day Classic Inca Trail trek with Quechuas Expeditions in June 2025, and overall had a fantastic experience that struck the perfect balance between physical challenge and logistical ease.Our guide, Fernando (“Nando”), was outstanding—passionate, deeply knowledgeable about the trail’s rich history, and highly supportive throughout. He kept our group motivated and informed, and managed different paces and needs with professionalism and care. His English was great, and he always made time to answer questions or share interesting stories along the way.The porter and chef team were phenomenal. Every meal was different, delicious, and plentiful—we were never hungry, and dietary needs (including vegan and vegetarian) were handled without issue. They even baked a custom cake on the trail for a couple’s anniversary, which speaks volumes about their care and capability. The porters themselves were friendly, warm, and constantly going above and beyond to support us.Quechuas provided tents, sleeping bags, a toilet tent, and hot water for face washing each morning, plus coca tea as a wake-up touch. The duffel service was useful, though we did find the weight limits a bit tighter than expected once you factor in the sleeping bag. In the end, we paid for an extra porter—which was easy to arrange but worth noting for those planning their packing. One thing we didn’t know in advance: the porter bags aren’t waterproof, so future trekkers may want to use dry bags or line the inside with plastic.Another small consideration: due to how campsites are assigned (by the government, not the tour company), some days ended up being longer than the traditional day-by-day breakdown you might read online. While not Quechuas’ fault, for myself, as much heads-up as possible would’ve helped with my own mental preparation.All said, Quechuas Expeditions delivered where it mattered most. The logistics were smooth, the staff was superb, and their support allowed us to focus on enjoying the trail and the breathtaking views without worrying about the rest. This is a company that knows what it’s doing.Would I recommend them? Absolutely—whether you’re a first-time trekker or experienced hiker, they make an unforgettable journey that much more seamless and enjoyable. If I ever do this again, I would book with them without question, and if possible, request the exact same team. Thank you Fernando and team for a trip of a lifetime and memories that will stay with me forever 🙏

Amazing trip on the Inca Trail with Quechuas Expeditions I never imagined that the Inca Trail could be so transformative. My partner and I decided to do the classic 4-day trek with Quechuas Expeditions and, honestly, it exceeded all our expectations. From the very first moment we felt very welcome. The service was impeccable, they were always attentive to our needs, solving all our doubts before and during the trek.The hike was not easy, but the views, the fresh mountain air and the energy of the group kept us going without thinking about how tiring it was. The meals at the campsites surprised us pleasantly, we really did not expect so much variety and flavor in the middle of the mountain. And the end, reaching Machu Picchu through the sun gate (Inti Punku) was simply magical, there are no words to describe that moment. It is definitely a unique experience that connects you with the history, culture and nature of Peru. Thank you Quechuas Expeditions for making this trip so special!

Hardest challenge of my life but worth it One of the hardest things I have ever done (definitely underestimate the difficulty level), and I don’t know if I would have made it if it wasn’t for our awesome guide Frenando and all the amazing staff we had. What a fantastic group of people. The porters are so hard working, it’s so humbling. The chef Taco was fantastic! I am vegan and he made me the most amazing food the entire time. I couldn’t believe it. And then our guide Fernando topped it all. Knowledgeable, professional yet fun, very personable, very patient (we were slow!) and very encouraging. If you are considering taking on this challenge, I highly recommend Quechua’s Expeditions and if you can request Fernando. E sure to do so. He’s been doing this for 19yrs!

Amazing trek, amazing guide and staff The Salkantay Trek was absolutely stunning, domes and the views were great with hot water available. What the trek made very special was our guide Nildo. Also, the chef Julian, horseman and second guide were incredible too. Nildo was knowledgeable, caring and passionate about everything he shared. I cannot imagine a better guide :-) Everything was very well organized.

Hike of a lifetime! We had the most amazing time! The different sceneries along the trek are just unbelievable and although being two fairly unfit persons we could enjoy it all the way. Fernando and Steven are terrific guides making sure we were all comfortable and happy at all times. The food and accommodations along the way were also a lot more luxurious than what we’d expected. Would 100% recommend this to anyone who’s up for a hike!!
