Important Notes: This 12-day itinerary is one of Peru’s most complete adventures, combining the culinary and cultural capital of Lima, the ancient Inca capital of Cusco with altitude acclimatization, the living Inca town of Ollantaytambo and the Sacred Valley, the world’s most famous trekking route over Dead Woman’s Pass and through the Sun Gate to Machu Picchu, a meaningful free day in Cusco, and an immersive 2-night Amazonian jungle experience at Puerto Maldonado. The Inca Trail permit is strictly personal — your exact full name, passport number, nationality, and date of birth as printed on your passport are required at booking and must match exactly at all checkpoints. Two full days of acclimatization in Cusco are built into this itinerary before the Inca Trail begins. Essential Amazon items include insect repellent with minimum 40% DEET, rubber boots (provided by the lodge), a good flashlight, and binoculars. Tips for guides, porters, cooks, boat operators, and lodge staff are optional but warmly appreciated throughout the trip — a guideline of $40–$100 USD per person for the full Inca Trail support team is customary.

What to bring

• Passport and Documents: Your original passport is essential; it is required to enter the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. Bring photocopies and a digital copy as a backup. Also, carry your travel insurance details and any necessary visa paperwork.
• Appropriate Footwear: A pair of waterproof hiking boots, already broken in, is critical for the Inca Trail’s varied terrain. Also, bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes or sandals for relaxing in cities and at the jungle lodge.
• Layered Clothing: The temperature changes drastically between locations and even during the day. Pack lightweight shirts, long-sleeved tops, a fleece or warm mid-layer, and a waterproof and windproof jacket. Convertible hiking pants are also very practical.
• Backpack: You will need a daypack (around 25-35 liters) to carry your daily essentials like water, snacks, a jacket, sunscreen, and a camera. A duffel bag will be provided for porters to carry the bulk of your gear on the Inca Trail.
• Sun and Insect Protection: The sun is very strong at high altitudes, and insects are prevalent in the Amazon. Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a strong insect repellent containing DEET for the jungle portion of the trip.
• Personal Medical Kit: While guides carry first-aid kits, it is wise to bring your own small kit with pain relievers, blister treatment, antiseptic wipes, insect bite cream, and any personal medications you require.
