Choose a Date
Step One: Check Availability
Make sure to book well in advance. Confirm that there are still available spots in our group and reserve as early as possible since our tour departure dates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your entry date into Peru. If you do not have a valid passport or plan to renew it before coming to Peru, please refer to our FAQ and Booking & Conditions page for more information.
Select your preferred date or join us on any of the fixed departure dates (we need 02 people to open a new departure date). Rest assured that we will never transfer you to another operator, as most travel agencies do here. (They share transportation, food, guides, cooks, and porters) to minimize costs, which is why many charge less than us. They focus on sharing with other companies. But Quechuas Expeditions will organize the tour even if the group consists of only 02 people.
Step two: Verify your personal information and make a reservation
Complete our Inca Trail reservation form (see attachment). Do not make a reservation until you have all the details below. We cannot accept a reservation without all names, nationalities, passport numbers, and ages:

Pre-Trek Briefing
A pre-departure briefing; One or two days before departure, our representative in Cusco will contact clients at their hotels, where they will meet their guide.

We suggest you leave any luggage you don’t need for the hike at your hotel. Nearly all hotels in Cusco have a secure storage area where you can keep your belongings, and they won’t charge you for this service if you return to the same hotel after your trek.
