&nbsp;

The best clothing for trekking is either wool or synthetic materials in layers, as this is quick-drying and can keep heat in better. We suggest a base-layer, then a mid-layer such as a light fleece jacket or similar, then a windproof and waterproof layer. Please note for trekking rentals credit cards are the preferred method of payment.

&nbsp;

Most people automatically assume that the weather is hot in South America, but because of the higher altitude in the Andes, the temperature can feel quite cold, especially at night.

&nbsp;

We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage.

We keep our group sizes low so you have the freedom to move around and get involved with your surroundings, as well as more personal attention from our local guides. This intimate size ensures that your group will not crowd your experience. You can expect up to 16 travellers on a trip but the average is 12. Check individual trip pages for maximum group sizes.

Tips are not included in the tour price and tipping is entirely at your discretion.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected - though not compulsory - component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is an opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.

&nbsp;

If at the end of your trek you felt your trekking guide and support team did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however, as a guideline, we suggest each hiker contributes the following to a collective pool.

&nbsp;

Inca Trail:

<ul>
	<li>Head guide: 10-25 USD</li>
	<li>Assistant guide: 5-12 USD</li>
	<li>Your trekking crew: 40 USD</li>
</ul>

Lares Trek:

<ul>
	<li>Head guide: 10-25 USD</li>
	<li>Assistant guide: 4-10 USD</li>
	<li>Your trekking crew: 35 USD</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Also at the end of each trip, if you felt your CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.

	<li>Some meals &ndash; allow USD 30-40 for meals not included.</li>

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Where we visit:

&nbsp;

Day 1 &ndash; Cusco to The Inca Trail

Depart Cusco by van to where the Inca Trail begins. Ease into the adventure with a straightforward day of hiking the meandering streams, stunning Andean scenery, and ancient Incan ruins.

Trek through beautiful scenery, with various flora that changes with the seasons, passing several smaller ruin sites like Llactapata.

A crew of local porters, cooks, and guides will take care of all the details for the duration of the hike. Porters carry the majority of the gear so you&rsquo;ll only need to carry a small daypack with water, rain gear, snacks, a camera, etc.

&nbsp;

Day 2 &ndash; Inca Trail

Start early to trek over progressively spectacular and steeper terrain on your way to Warmiwa&ntilde;usca (aka Dead Woman&#39;s Pass), the highest point of the trek at 4,198m (13,769ft). Be prepared to face intense Andean weather (blazing sun or cold winds) around the pass. Take the hike slow, and drink lots of water along the way &ndash; amazing views are waiting as a reward. Enjoy some ample time to rest and relax after reaching the camp; most campers arrive around early afternoon.

&nbsp;

<h4>Day 3 &ndash; Inca Trail</h4>

Cross two more passes and ruins on today&#39;s trek. The first pass is Runquraqay at 3,950m (13,113 ft), where, on a clear day, hikers can catch a glimpse of the snow-capped Cordillera Vilcabamba.

&nbsp;

Hike through the cloud forest on a gentle climb to the second pass of the day, walking through original Incan constructions. The highest point of the pass is 3,700m (12,136 ft). On a clear day, enjoy the spectacular views of the Urubamba Valley. At 3,650m (11,972 ft), reach the ruins of Phuyupatamarca, the &quot;town above the clouds.&quot;

&nbsp;

Camp here or go another 1hr 30min&nbsp;to the Wi&ntilde;ay Wayna ruins (&quot;forever young&quot;) located at 2,650m (8,694ft).

&nbsp;

<h4>Day 4 &ndash; Inca Trail to Cusco</h4>

The final day of the hike starts pre-dawn to reach the Sun Gate before sunrise. Catch the first views of the breathtaking ruins of Machu Picchu on a clear day. Hike down to Machu Picchu (about 45 mins) for a 1hr 30min&nbsp;guided tour of the site and free time to explore. Opt to visit the Inca Bridge (a 15-min walk one way) for no additional charge, if time allows.

&nbsp;

Gain local insight into the Inti Mach&#39;ay cave, Inti Watana, the Temple of the Water, the Temple of the Condor, and the Room of the Three Windows. Take time to sit and feel the energy of this 15th-century site, now both a UNESCO World Heritage site and voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World (in a worldwide internet poll).

&nbsp;

Climb on board the train for the ride from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo, followed by the journey from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, where your journey ends at&nbsp;Cusco&#39;s city centre, Plaza de Armas.

The scenery along the trail was absolutely stunning, and I was in awe of the beautiful landscapes around me. This trek was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to explore this incredible trail. So fun!

So fun!

This hike was incredible. The path itself included a variety of terrain, and the views were fantastic. The trail is incline and has many steps. The steps don't even have regular heights. This makes both the ascent and ascent much more taxing. You experience a hundred and one emotions while traveling, as the mountains test you and the railway below mocks you! The food was excellent. Undoubtedly, one of the best hikes in the world is the Inca Trail.

Best hike in the world

The tour was refreshing and delightful. Great time exploring! Highly recommended!

What a fantastic trip.

Stunning scenery and the trails were challenging and fun. Wonderful and enthusiastic guide .

It was a memorable experience!
