Do I need an Inca Trail permit?

Yes! Please ensure that there are permits available on your date of travel before you book your tour, as the Peruvian government only allow a small number of trekkers and permits per day to preserve the natural beauty of the Inca Trail. Please contact your Travel Expert for permit availabilities.

Are there any physical requirements for my tour?

All of Action Peru Treks are challenging and often take place on rugged and isolated terrain. It is recommended that you are reasonably fit and healthy to fully enjoy your tour. Please consult your doctor if you are concerned with the altitude or your ability to trek through the Andes.

What if I have special dietary requirements?

All meals will be provided on your tour and are prepared by chefs who have experience cooking in the middle of the mountains! How cool is that!? Please notify your Travel Expert of any dietary requirements that you may have when booking your tour to ensure Action Peru Treks can accommodate your request.

What altitudes can I expect?

You can expect to experience altitudes from 10,000 feet up to 17,000 feet. We recommend staying a few days in Cusco before your tour to adjust to the altitude, particularly if you are prone to altitude sickness. Please consult your doctor if you are concerned with the altitude.

Tipping is not included in your tour cost. While tipping is not required, it is a common practice in Latin America. If you feel your guide and crew went above and beyond to make your trip special, tipping would be greatly appreciated.

This 4 day, 3 night Salkantay via Inca Trail trek was hands down one of the best adventures I’ve ever done in my life. The staff were great and they have some awesome staff in the office and on the hike. I cannot recommend these guys enough.

My friends and I trekked the 4 day Salkantay via Inca Trail and we are very happy with our experience with APT. Action Peru Treks was a top-notch trekking company and I would for sure recommend this trek and this company to everyone. I want to also thank you to our crew and especially our guide Lizandro.

My son and I had an unbelievable journey with Action Peru Treks. They took care of everything. They communicated spectacularly as we were planning and prior to our arrival and then delivered a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Roxner was knowledgeable about the history of the region. The food and service throughout was amazing. Of course, the highlight was Machu Picchu, and the history talk and guided tour from Roxner were first class. We will be back for another trip with Action Peru Treks!

I went on a school trip in 2013, a long time ago! I had the most amazing time, saw the most beautiful sights and spent time with the most realest, genuine people ever. 6 years later and I can still remember every moment and I am hoping to be back there very soon! I love Peru and I couldn’t thank Rox and his team more!
