When to go
- High season : June to August (book well in advance)
- Weather is driest between May and October
[edit]
Preparing for your trip
- At its highest, the trail reaches 4200m above sea level, so you should spend at least 2 days in Cuzco acclimatising before you start the trek. If you don't, altitude sickness could make your first few days pretty uncomfortable.
- Book your spot a few months in advance. The number of trek permits issued is limited to 500 per day (including tour guides and porters). In the high season you'll need to book 3 months in advance.
