WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
On Tripadvisor
Rainbow Mountain excursion
Everything perfect with Samuel, a very good guide: patient, kind, calm, everything well explained. 100% recommended. A pleasure to have had him as a guide. Thank you very much.
The lunch was truly necessary
After the hike, that buffet-style lunch tasted like five-star food 😋. We were all starving. I liked that there was a proper meal waiting for us instead of just a snack. The morning itself was beautiful, especially the landscapes around Red Valley. A long day, but well worth it.
An authentic adventure
We were torn between a regular visit and the quad option. Very happy we chose the quad. It made the trip more exciting, and we had some…
The views made the effort worth it
Normally I don't enjoy hiking, so this excursion worried me. But the scenery motivated me…
Frequently asked Questions
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu can bring many questions. Below you’ll find answers about Inca Trail permits, trekking in Peru, altitude, packing, safety, and more to help you plan your adventure with confidence.
How far in advance should I book the Inca Trail?
Inca Trail permits are limited and often sell out several months in advance, especially for the high season from May to September. We recommend booking 4 to 6 months ahead. For day tours such as Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake, booking a few days before is usually enough.
Can I hike the Inca Trail without a guide?
No. Peruvian regulations require every Inca Trail hiker to travel with a licensed tour operator and a professional guide. Our guides are local, bilingual and trained in first aid, and they will share the history of every site along the way.
How difficult is the Inca Trail trek?
The Classic Inca Trail is moderate to challenging: about 43 km over 4 days, with the highest pass at 4,215 m (Dead Woman’s Pass). With 2 days of acclimatization in Cusco and a basic level of fitness, most travelers complete it comfortably. If you prefer something shorter, the Short Inca Trail (2D/1N) is a great option.
What is included in an Eco Aventura Peru tour?
Each tour page lists exactly what is included. Most tours include hotel pick-up, transport, a professional bilingual guide, the meals mentioned in the itinerary and safety equipment such as emergency oxygen and a first-aid kit.
