Important before to book:
at the time we confirm your participation on this trek,
we register your complete name and your passport number
(as these appear on your trip application) with park authorities
on the official trek permit. The trek permit is a legal
document with specific restrictions limiting changes. You
must bring this same passport with you on the trek.
NOTE: If for
any reason you organize a NEW PASSPORT after we have purchased
your permits, you must bring with you, the old passport
otherwise, 2 very clear copies of the old passport along
with your new passport on the trail. If not the control
will refuse your entrance fee.
IMPORTANT: Possible changes to
Inca Trail trek price 2008:
The above Inca Trail prices are based on the following third
party costs which are outside of our control:
1.- Inca Trail entrance fee is 241 Peruvian
Soles, about US$80 (US$30 discount for students with ISIC
cards and children 16yrs) and 41 Soles, about US$14 for
all of our porters. The price paid for the entrance fee
is clearly marked on the trek permit. This price includes
entrance to Machu Picchu. So far the government has not
confirmed the price of the trek permit for 2008. Personally
we don't think the price of the trek permit will increase
in January or March, but it is very likely that the government
will raise the cost of the trek permit to around US$100
from April or May onwards.
2: Included in the price of the trek is
the return on the train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo
on the Backpacker train which currently costs US$46 per
person. (details of service and price can be checked on
the Peru Rail website www.perurail.com) The Peru Rail website
states that they reserve the right to change the price at
anytime. Peru Rail have not announced their prices for 2008.
However we expect the price to increase by about US$20 (this
would be an increase of 50%).
3. Local sales taxes known as IGV are included
in the price of the Inca Trail trek. The currently rate
of IGV is 19%. It is not anticipated that this rate will
increase during 2008
