When to Book Your Flights

Do not book anything, including flights, until we have replied to confirm that Inca Trail permits are available. And entry tickets to Machu Picchu, if you are booking the 2-day trip.

How to Get to Cusco, Peru

Book your international flight to Lima, Peru.  If your flight arrives Lima in the evening, the most convenient place for an overnight is a 3 minute walk to the new 5* Grand Wyndham Hotel at Lima airport. The next morning you walk back to the terminal and fly to Cusco. We recommend that you use Latam Airlines. 

Be aware that a new terminal opened on June 1, 2025 and the 4* Wyndham located at the old terminal can only be reached by taking their shuttle bus from the new terminal. 

If your international flight arrives in Lima in the morning, you can fly later the same day to Cusco. We suggest you allow at least a 3 hour layover in Lima airport

Hotels

All the hotels we reserve have private bathrooms, fresh linens, hot showers, breakfast and free wifi. Hotels store excess luggage during the 2-day trip. 

For Active Travelers All Ages

It's not necessary to be super fit, but this trip is best for people who enjoy active vacations and nature-based activities.  There's no age limit. Each hiker should be able to carry a small/medium size backpack large enough to hold everything they need for the hike. If you have any questions about the 1-Day Inca Trail hike, don't hesitate to contact our US office in VA to discuss.. 757-714-6649.
