1. INCA TRAIL TREKS TO MACHU PICCHU
The vast Inca’s Empire was connected by an extense Inca trail system. This Inca Trail
system linked about 25,000 miles (40,000 kims.) Nowadays, the Classic Inca Trail is the
most popular and better preserved trail. The Inca Trail is the only trail in Cusco that has as
final destination, Machu Picchu. There are several places from where it is possible to start
the Inca Trail, but the most popular ones are the 2 Day Inca Trail and the Classic 4 Day
Inca Trail.
If you would like to hike the Inca Trail, you will need to have an Inca Trail permit which needs
to be purchased through a local tour operator. Chakana Adventures is a tour operator
located in Cusco which has obtained a license to operate the Inca Trail for the 2011 season.
During the high season (April to October), it is important to obtain your Inca Trail permit well
in advance because the Peruvian government only allows 500 people per day and permits
can be sold out three months in advance. All tour operators and travel agencies offer
packages including the permit and other services. It is important to book the Inca Trail with a
tour operator that is going to provide you the service that you are paying for.
