Treks to Machu Picchu travel guide
Your adventure begins before the first step: what to pack, the weather, how to get there and answers to the most frequent questions.
Choose your trek to Machu Picchu
- Classic Inca Trail (4 days): the original Inca road, arriving through the Sun Gate. Requires government permits.
- Short Inca Trail (2 days) and Antisuyo trail: the highlights in less time, ideal if you have few days.
- Salkantay trek (4–5 days): glaciers, Humantay Lake and cloud forest, with the option of sleeping in sky domes. No permits needed.
- Inca Jungle (4 days): biking, rafting and hiking — the adventurous route.
- Choquequirao (5 days): the "sister" of Machu Picchu, remote and with very few visitors.
Difficulty and preparation
Most treks reach between 4,200 and 4,650 m. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should walk regularly before the trip and spend 2 days in Cusco to acclimatize.
Best season to hike
May to September is the dry season with clear skies and cold nights. The Inca Trail closes every February; Salkantay and the other treks operate all year.
What to pack
- Broken-in hiking boots and trekking poles.
- Warm layers, rain jacket and a hat.
- Sunscreen, insect repellent and a reusable bottle.
- Original passport (the same one used for the permits).
Questions about Treks to Machu Picchu
Which trek is best if the Inca Trail is sold out?
Salkantay: it does not need permits, has spectacular landscapes and also ends at Machu Picchu.
Do I carry my own backpack?
Horses or porters carry camping equipment and food; you carry a day pack. Extra horses for personal items can be added.
How far in advance should I book?
For the Inca Trail, 3–6 months in high season. Other treks, 2–4 weeks.
