F.A.Q.

1- With how long of anticipation I can make a reserve? .- All reservations must be made well in advance (4 and 8 month) is recommended especially during the months June, July and August). Earlier is better due to restrictions on the numbers of trekkers permitted on the Inca Trail.

3. What do we do for drinking water?
Will provide boiled water to fill your bottle at meal times, although the water is clear always use sterilizing tablets and follow the instructions. The sterilizing tablets 'MicroPur' can be bought in most pharmacies in Cusco . With these tablets you have to wait 40 minutes before drinking. Take a bottle of at least 1½ liter capacity per person. Bottled mineral water can also be taken from Cusco.

4. Which campsites do you use?
Campsites are subject to change depending upon the crowds and the season. We generally try to camp in less trafficked areas so that travelers can enjoy the natural beauty of the Inca trail and minimize environmental impacts. Our typical campsite choices are Huayllabamba, Pacamayu, Wiñay wayna.

Personal extra Porter can be hired to help carry your personal items such as clothes, sleeping bag etc. They can be hired for USD$70 for all 4 days and will carry up to a maximum of 12kg (usually 1porter between 2 persons is more than sufficient). You can hire the services of a half a porter to carry up to 6kg for USD$35. However, even with a personal porter, you will still need to bring a day pack for essential items.
