Local's tip Peruvian kids often line the trail, offering to carry your pack at the precise moment that you're feeling most defeated. They'll want some money for their trouble, of course. Pack plenty of small bills and change. And save some for the hostel at Winay Wayna: It sells bottled beer but refuses notes larger than 20 nuevo soles (about $7).

Hi there,
Just a note to update your info above.
No any more kids as porter waiting at the start of trek to help with your bags,book a shared porter when you book a tour with your operator, controllers are strict at the start.
Huiñaywayna lodge is not any more open, it is closed for more than a year, so no warm shower, you can share guide´s cold shower at this last camp, SAS organize to avoid this camp for our group and the tour ended great, we were so happy to avoid this unpleasent camp crowded and noisy, we stayed at their hostel and it was awesome.

Hi Faride,

Firstly, thanks for the blog post. Its quite informative.

I am currently based in South Africa (on a project) and plan to travel to Machu Pichu in the first week of March. I understand it would be the wet season there. Owing to constraints on leave, March first week is when i can travel. Wanted to check with you if this is feasible? What additional arrangements would we require to negate any weather conditions?

Thanks,
Nirmal

Hiking the 4 day Inca Trail to Machu Pichu was a great experience. I did it this past July with a group of Girl Scout Backpackers. It was one part of our 15 day Peru Trip. Plan early and get in shape. That will make your experience much more enjoyable. Acclimate well before you get on the trail. I am 52 and it was a great experience but the hike over Dead Women's Pass was a challenge.

I visited a number of Incan ruins when I was in Peru. I was not able to book a hike into Machu Picchu (took the train), but instead hiked into and out of Choquequirao. This was a four day hike, descended into the second deepest valley into the world, and emerged at the "sister city" of Machu Picchu. Barely any other groups/tourists brave the rustic at best conditions and it was spectacular. On a side note, if you do go to Machu Picchu as well, hike up nearby Putucusi Mtn for a unique view of Machu Picchu!

My wife and I did the 7 day Lodge to Lodge hike to Machu Picchu for our honeymoon. Great mix of spectacular hiking and views with luxury accommodations and some of the best food you will have while in Peru. Check it out. http://www.mountainlodgesofperu.com/2010/index.html

Just found this informative video about the inca trail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVRFxeDZNao

Leading up to my trip to Peru last year, all I thought I wanted to do was hike the Inca Trail! Upon enquiring further I discovered "the Inca Trail" was already fully booked - quite the disappointment. So, I signed up for an Aspiring Adventures trip as their "backdoor to Machu Picchu" tour looked really enticing. Well - what a fantastic choice! I would whole-heartedly recommend this version of getting to Machu Picchu to anyone - I had such a great time! Check them out some time: www.AspiringAdventures.com. Also, going to Lake Titicaca is well worth the extra time.

Yes, there are other trails aside from the Inca Trail. I did the 5-day Salkantay trek last August 2011 - with a group and guide. The variety and changing views were awesome - small villages, mountains, glacier and then finally Machu Picchu. Prices for the tour varies. Try to book locally - you will save a lot of $$$.

Surely Machu Picchu is a must place to visit and the inca trail is not the only way to get to.
To do the inca trail you must book in advance many months in advance. There is another way to get to Machu Picchu enjoying the fantastic landscape, doing biking down hill, visiting local communities and without too many tourist. I am talking about THE INCA JUNGLE TRAIL which include biking and trekking , is the more original & fun way to Get to Machu Picchu.

There are few companies who offer quality service in this tour. Pie Peru a swiss peruvian company is safe option.

I'll echo Mike's Salkantay shout-out, no need for guides on this trek and gives solitude and mountain views that the Inca Trail does not. Downside is there's not as many Inca ruins, but chances are you'll be overwhelmed by ruins anyway if you tour around Cusco and maybe the Sacred Valley on the way out.

Or if you'd like to visit a trekkers paradise while in Peru, head north from Lima to Huaraz, you can hit the Cordillera Blanca, home to the world's tallest peak in the tropical zone: Huascaran.

For those looking for an alternative to the classic Inca Trail, I highly recommend the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. Less crowded, breathtaking landscapes. From my personal experience, I highly recommend Latika Salkantay (www.latikasalkantay.com).

Did you know there is more than one Inca Trail? The Incans developed a vast network of trails, some of which lead to Machu Picchu. When people talk about the Inca Trail, they are generally referring to the Classic Inca Trail, as mentioned above; a four- to five-day hike that usually begins at milepost 82 or 88 and goes to Machu Picchu. However, there are other alternatives, including the "Original" Inca Trail (also called the Riverside Trail or Royal Inca Trail), which is the lower-altitude route that follows the Urubamba River to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. It is a pleasant hike that avoids the steep mountain passes and is much easier and a couple days shorter than the Classic Trail. Although the Original Trail also requires an Inca Trail Pass, it is much less heavily traveled, if you are looking to get away from the hordes of other trekkers. The Classic Inca Trail is around 30 kilometers (depending on where you start) and the Original Inca Trail is roughly half that (again, depending where you start).

Billy Maes here with a blatant attempt at self-promotion. Check out Sun Gate Tours, they're legit because of the press release! And while you're at it, watch Mr. Wrong at www.babelgum.com/mrwrong They're a great series of twenty 1-minute mobisodes for when you're bored! I highly recommend their services!

"There's change in my drink!" Mr. Party Animal.

On a different note, the above article was interesting. I was searching because I had heard that Machu Pichu is a dangerous hike.

Hi just found this new article which seems very interesting

I'm sorry I forgot to put their page www.sungatetours.com I highly recommended their services

Nice information about the Inca Trail I use for this Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Sun Gate Tours, good local operator, they work with very small group not large group.
