We had an amazing experience on our Inca Trail hike thanks to View Peru! Starting from before our trip began, Javier was very helpful with all pre-trip coordination and making sure we were well prepared for our time in Peru. The hike itself was incredible, led by our guides Adrien and Fernando who were extremely kind, well-informed, and great cheerleaders to make sure our hike was a success. The amenities provided throughout were also impeccable, with top notch food served from our chefs Wilfredo, Julio and Abraham, beautiful and comfortable accommodations from our lead porter Jesus, and relaxing/revitalizing massages from Madeline. The entire experience was a well oiled machine that made our hike unforgettable! Absolutely recommend View Signature Travels

The View Peru experience was incredible. End to end luxury, comfort, and kindness. Thomas, Bruce and team made us feel safe and capable and truly connected us with the experience of the Inca Trail. The sites are truly spectacular, and the team helped us capture so many amazing moments through pictures. The team knows the trail, the campsites, the nature, the history, the culture to really provide a complete and seamless experience.

Thomas and Bruce were incredible guides - I cannot say enough great things about the way they managed our entire experience. It was truly seamless from start to finish. Thomas took great care and pride in every detail from the hike itself, the food, to our safety. The guides became friends by the end of the trip. I was a first time hiker and the team made me feel confident and capable - there is a clear differentiation between View Peru and every other tour team on the hike. I would pick View Peru over and over - highly recommend.

We just returned from an unforgettable 4-day Inca Trail adventure with View Peru Signature Tours, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully organized, and the team went above and beyond to make this experience truly special.

Not only was the trek itself life-changing, but View Peru also took care of every detail of our journey. They seamlessly arranged all of our adventures, transfers, and transitions—from airports to hotels to excursions—making the entire trip completely stress-free. Their coordination was flawless, and it allowed us to focus entirely on the experience.

The guides were knowledgeable, kind, and patient, sharing not only the history of the trail and Machu Picchu, but also stories and insights that made the journey feel alive. The porters and staff were simply incredible—hardworking, caring, and always ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of.

This was more than just a trek; it was a life-changing experience. Walking through the cloud forests, climbing ancient stone paths, and finally arriving at the Sun Gate to see Machu Picchu felt absolutely magical. We know we will carry the memories of this journey with us forever.

Thank you, View Peru Signature Tours, for giving us such a meaningful adventure—we are deeply grateful and will be thinking of this trip for the rest of our lives.

we would like to think, Anthony, Bruce, Ronald, Christian, Marco, Erica, and all of Victoriano‘s crew!!

Each campsite we stayed at exceeded our expectations and offered incredible views that made the journey even more special.

Magical Four Day Inca Trail Experience
Simply put, our experience was outstanding. The food and accommodations surpassed our expectations and honestly our imagination of what was even possible for a four day hiking/camping experience. Our guides and the entire staff were knowledgeable, friendly and fun and the steps they took to make the experience magical were above and beyond – I don’t want to ruin any surprises but each day came with little experiences or thoughtful details that made it such a genuinely unique, spiritual and special experience.

Inca Trail FAQ’s

What is the shortest hike to Machu Picchu?

The Short Inca Trail. It is an adventure that includes part of the archeological treasures in the Classic Inca Trail along with the landscapes of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The hikers will beat this challenge in two days and you only hike half of the first day. That being mentioned, it is highly recommended for beginner hikers or for families with children and elders, as the difficulty level of the trek is moderate.

How hard is the 2-day Inca Trail?

It is considerably less difficult than the Classic Inca Trail. Hikers will ascend from 2200 m. to 2750 m. (rather than the 5000 m. in the 4-day trail). The trail is moderate so it requires somewhat good physical condition to finish the hike. However, with the proper training before the trip, correct hydration and the assistance of your tour guide, everybody will easily enjoy the Short Inca Trail.

How steep is the Inca Trail?

There are portions of the track that do not require much effort to go by, however, stone stairs are usually one of the steepest parts of the trail. It is highly recommended to bring a walking pole to reduce the effect of the hike on your knees, so as the steeper steps do not cause any injury. The Short Inca Trail also has steep stairs but they are fewer than the Classic Inca Trail.

How long is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?

The Classic Inca Trail is 37 kilometers or 22.9 miles long. Marathons are 42 kilometers long but this trail is not a competition. You have 4 amazing days to enjoy the natural and historical treasures of the Incas throughout the 37 kilometers of hike. In terms of time, you will hike 6.5 hours daily on average, but you are always free to stop so you can take a rest or enjoy the surroundings.

How long is the Inca Trail?

Adding up the daily distances, you will get 37 kilometers or 22.9 miles of length. This trail ascends and descends and sometimes you might feel that you are hiking longer than a marathon. It is okay, but better you forget numbers and let yourself delight with the outstanding natural views and ancient ruins. On average, you will hike about 6.5 hours a day and you will enjoy every second of it.

Is a permit needed for Machu Picchu?

Yes. The entrance to the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is regulated by the government and you must have a permit purchased in any of the authorized sale points in Cusco (you will need your passport) or online. Remember that if you book a tour with us including Machu Picchu we will purchase your permit on time.

What to pack for luxury inca trail

When packing for the luxury Inca Trail, it is important to pack light and bring only the essentials. You will need a daypack to carry your daily essentials such as a jacket, camera, water and sunscreen. You should also bring good hiking boots as the trail can be challenging. It is recommended that you pack clothes in layers so that you can adjust your clothing according to the weather. You should also bring essential toiletries, medications and a small first aid kit. I hope this helps!

Luxury Inca Trail cost

The cost of the Luxury Inca Trail trek varies depending on the tour operator and the duration of the trek. Accordingly, prices range from $600 to $1,600 in traditional services and the luxury Inca Trail from $1,900 to $4,000 or more (this varies according to the needs of each passenger). The latter is a luxury trek that lasts five days and four nights (one day more than the standard four-day trek).

Best season for luxury inca trail

The best time to travel the Inca Trail is from April to October (dry season), while the months of November to March are the rainy season, which makes it difficult to access and camp. The winter season from May, June, July and August is also a good time to hike the Inca Trail because there’s no rain and the weather is the best in comparison to other seasons of the year. May and October are also good times to trek the Inca Trail as permits may sell out slightly less fast than in peak months. It’s also dry and warmer than June, July and August. I hope this helps!
