We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
One of our hikes requires an Inca Trail permit, which Backroads will obtain on your behalf (included in your trip price). We recommend booking your trip 4 to 6 months prior to departure for the best chance of securing your permit. Passport information is required at the time of booking to secure train tickets and permits.
Also, Backroads leaders may not be able to accompany you along the hike requiring an Inca Trail permit. Rest assured that in this case you would be well supported by our local Peruvian guides—with whom we've been working for years—as well as a staff of porters.
Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel is a Premiere Hotel. While it offers outstanding service and amenities, please note that it is not equipped with air-conditioning. Despite the region's generally temperate climate and cool nights, guestrooms can occasionally become warm during peak temperatures.
