Alternatives to trekking the Inca Trail If you have always dreamed of trekking the Inca Trail be warned - the numbers are strictly controlled and the trail is periodically closed due to maintenance and/or inclement weather. So please book early!

If the Inca Trail is unavailable we will offer the Lares Trek as an alternative. With its breathtaking passes, glacial lakes and hot springs, this less crowded option, which also ends with a full day's visit to Machu Picchu, is thought to be more spectacular and has more to offer than the Inca Trail (includes 2 nights camping, 1 night hotel - Aguas Calientes & comprehensive tour of Machu Picchu).

If you're not one of these people and would rather set your weary head upon a comfy pillow than spend 2-3 days hiking either Trail, then why not spend those days in the relative comfort of your Cuzco Hotel? On the day before the group reaches Machu Picchu, you will travel by train to Aguas Calientes and overnight. The next morning we take the bus to the Machu Picchu entrance and rendezvous with the hikers at the ruins (includes 2 nights Cuzco, 1 night Aguas Calientes & comprehensive tour of Machu Picchu).

Please specify either preference when making your reservation.
