Packing Lists: Inca Trail reserve in advance

  • Miscellaneous: If you want to do the Inca Trail, you have to book in advance, at least 2 months before, as the entrance to the Park is restricted, and you have to do it in a group.
    The best way is to look at several Cuzco agencies in internet. Here are the most famous:
    - http://www.andeanlife.com/
    - http://www.sastravelperu.com/
    - http://www.unitedmice.com/
    - http://www.qente.com/
    - http://www.perutreks.com/

    What To Buy: They offer different dyas to start, different menus... but roughly they are very similar. Expect to pay between 250-320 USD for the 4 days / 3 nights trail including tickets, guide, meals and tents.

    What To Pay: When you decide which agency, write them a mail, fill up a form and send here (money transfer) about 100 USD. Then you have a reservation. You will have to be 2-3 days before the trail begins in Cuzco, pay the rest of the money and have a previous evening meeting for the details of the trekking.

  • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I was there in April, end of the rainy season. Though it was mild, even warm, at noon, in the morning it was cold and sometimes windy, so bring some warm clothes for the chilly nights.

     Hi Joaquin. Nice little page on Cuzco. I will go there one day when I have $$$$ and also overcome my fears of getting Soroche. :)

     Man that sounds awesome. I could go for that pain. About the coca leaves. Do you feel an actual numbness? Do you feel it helps in the altitude?

     Wow, great page! I don't think i would be able to handle the altitude though... But with a little coca leaves help? Who knows :)
