Frequently Asked Questions

Transportation from Cusco to the trailhead and train tickets for the return journey are generally included, depending on the package. Porters and sleeping bags may be included or available at an additional cost. We recommend checking the itinerary and inclusions carefully before booking with Kamaski Travel.

The Classic 4-day Inca Trail is considered moderately challenging to difficult because of its high altitude, steep ascents, stone steps, and long hiking days. The most demanding section is the climb to Dead Woman's Pass, also known as Warmiwañusca, at approximately 4,215 meters (13,829 feet) above sea level. Good physical preparation, comfortable hiking boots, and acclimatization in Cusco before starting the trek are strongly recommended. Walking at a steady pace and taking regular breaks can help you enjoy the journey more comfortably.
