THE INCA TRAIL SYSTEM
The popularity of the Inca Trail has grown significantly in the last 15 years, with many thousands of trekkers using the Inca trails each year. Recognizing the need to maintain the trail for future generations, the Peruvian Tourism Board introduced a permit system that allows only a limited number of people (500) to hike the Inca Trail each day. The 500 daily permits include porters, cooks, and guides who support the tour groups – leaving just 200 permits available for travelers.
Once purchased, permits are non-refundable and non-transferable between travelers, meaning that if permits are sold out for a specific date, there is no way to get new permits for this date.
It is highly recommended to secure your permit early. As a local indigenous tour company, Action Peru Treks is able to secure permits before they are gone!
