Machu Picchu & Inca Trail Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about preparing, packing, acclimatizing, permits, and hiking the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

The ideal trekking season is during the dry months from April through October, when days are sunny and skies are clear, offering spectacular mountain views.
