After being closed in February, the Inca Trail reopens to the public on March 1st and welcomes new hikers to an unforgettable journey to Machu Picchu.
The Inca Trail, renowned for its breathtaking vistas and historical significance as the route leading to the majestic Machu Picchu in Peru, is reopening its paths to tourists and adventurers on March 1, 2024. This much-anticipated reopening follows its annual closure throughout February, a necessary measure to ensure the safety of visitors during the peak of the rainy season and to conduct essential preservation work on the trail and its archaeological sites.
Spanning over 26 miles through the Andes mountain range, the trail offers an unparalleled journey through ancient tunnels, past Incan ruins, and across scenic mountain passes, culminating in the awe-inspiring sight of Machu Picchu at sunrise. The closure not only helps maintain the integrity of the trail but also serves to protect the rich biodiversity of the region.
For those dreaming of traversing this ancient path, planning ahead is crucial. The Inca Trail has a limited number of permits available each day to minimize environmental impact and preserve the site. Therefore, you must book your permits well in advance to secure your desired dates.
Some dates are already sold out, so you must hurry up!
