FAQs

Questions Before Your Glamping Inca Trail Journey

Find clear answers about planning, costs, comfort, difficulty and what to expect on your Glamping Inca Trail journey to Machu Picchu.

1.Which company is the best for Inca Trail tours?

There is no single best Inca Trail operator for every traveler. The right choice depends on the type of experience you want, including permits, licensed guides, group size, accommodation, meals, support and what is included in the trek.
For travelers looking for a private luxury glamping experience, our Glamping Inca Trail combines the classic route with private service, premium camps, gourmet Peruvian cuisine, expert local guides, hot showers, private toilet facilities and permit coordination.

2.What is the best month to do the Inca Trail?

The best time to hike the Inca Trail is generally during the drier months, from April to October, when trekking conditions are usually more favorable. May through September are particularly popular for their drier weather, although conditions and availability can vary throughout the season.
The Inca Trail is closed every February for annual maintenance and conservation, with access reopening in March.

3.Can a 70-year-old hike the Inca Trail?

Yes, a 70-year-old traveler may be able to hike the Inca Trail, provided they are physically prepared and suitable for a demanding high-altitude trek. Age alone does not determine whether someone can complete the route.
The Classic Inca Trail reaches approximately 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) at Dead Woman’s Pass, so fitness, acclimatization and preparation are important regardless of age.

4.How much does a typical glamping trip cost?

Luxury glamping on the Inca Trail costs more than a standard camping trek because it includes upgraded accommodation, meals, comfort and personalized support.
Our current Luxury Inca Trail 4 Days starts at US$2,152 per person for 4 days and 3 nights. The final price can vary depending on the itinerary, group size, inclusions and any additional services or upgrades.

5.What are the downsides of glamping?

Glamping offers more comfort than traditional camping, but it does come with some trade-offs. It generally costs more, and the experience is less focused on traditional self-sufficient camping.
On the Inca Trail, glamping also does not remove the physical demands of the trek: you still hike through mountain terrain, cross high-altitude sections and spend several days in an outdoor environment. The difference is that you return to a more comfortable camp with amenities designed for rest and recovery.

6.Do you have your own toilet when glamping?

Yes. Our Glamping Inca Trail camps include private toilet facilities and hot showers, allowing you to enjoy greater comfort and privacy after each day of trekking. Our private luxury camps are designed to provide a more comfortable experience while maintaining the expedition character of the Inca Trail.

7.How many days do you need for the Inca Trail?

The Classic Inca Trail is typically completed in 4 days and 3 nights. Our flagship Luxury Inca Trail follows this classic route with private glamping camps, gourmet meals, expert local guides and support throughout the trek.
For travelers with less time, we also offer a 2-day Short Inca Trail with a luxury hotel stay instead of multi-night camping.

8.How far in advance should I book the Inca Trail?

It is best to book the Inca Trail several months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the dry season or have specific dates in mind. Access is limited and requires a reservation through an authorized operator.
For a private luxury trek, booking early also gives you more flexibility when choosing your preferred dates and arranging the services included in your experience.
