Other Practical InformationWhat kind of gear do I need to bring? This trek will be a multi-day hike which means that you will need trekking gear such as trekking boots, trekking pants, waterproof jackets and hat, trekking socks, walking sticks, base layers, a trekking backpack, etc. We have a full packing list page to recommend exactly what to bring so this experience gets to be more comfortable. Is this trek family-friendly? Yes, we recommend this one as a family option because it only involves one day of hiking and the security of being close to Aguas Calientes town is perfect to secure everyone’s wellbeing. However, the answer to this is a case-by-case basis based on the age(s) and health of your family members. How does the short version of the Inca Trail work? The short version of the Inca Trail works the same as the classic one, it requires a permit which is provided by the government. Spaces can get sold out as well, only 500 people per day. Instead of starting in Km 82, this version starts in Km 104 to go directly to Wiñay Wayna ruins, the Sun Gate and then Machu Picchu, to go to Aguas Calientes to take some rest and get ready for the Machu Picchu guided tour the next day. Is the short version easier? The length is considerably shorter and the highest point is not as high as for the Classic version but it will demand some physical effort, nothing that can’t be done with patience and help from our staff. Which version is better? We can’t tell which one is better because these two versions are different, one’s longer than the other so it depends a lot on the time that the client has. If time’s not an issue the classic version is perfect but if you are on a schedule, the short version can be a great answer. Both of them have different highlights and different kinds of beauty, which one is better, is up to your decision What’s the total distance I’m going to hike? 12 kilometers /7 milesPermits to the Inca Trail are subject to availability. Kindly note that in case such permits are not available for your preferred date, you may need to choose a different date for your trip.
