The Full Classic Inca Trail Reopens July 15th, 2021!
Alpaca Expeditions are thrilled to announce that the Inca Trail will restart for 2021.
The government of Peru has announced that the full Inca Trail will reopen July 15 and treks can resume on that date.
Applications for permits will open on June 25th and July 15th is the date when treks will begin. This means all 4, 5, and 7 day Inca Trail treks are now available to book, after a year-long closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2-Day short Inca Trail treks are already open, but now all treks on the Inca trail are open.
There are changes to the Inca Trail 2021 Treks, required by the Peru Government:
- 1.50% Reduction in Allowed Group Sizes: This means open trekking groups are only 7 guests max (unless booked specifically with more), 1 guide, and 14 porters. It means small groups and fewer crowds.
- 2. 50% Reduction in Available Inca Trail Permits: This means it’s important to submit your application for a permit so as to get your preferred dates in as soon as possible – there are 50% fewer permit slots available for 2021.
- 3. Everyone is invited: means tell your friends and loved ones! This is a great opportunity to hike this beautiful trail with smaller crowds. You do not need to have a previous reservation – you can book now.
For those who want to hike this year, please contact Alpaca Expeditions with your new start date and updated information ASAP to give them the best chance to secure your permits. Permits will go especially fast this year with these new limitations, and Alpaca wants to make sure all your dreams come true.
Come with Alpaca Expeditions and allow them to show you the magical land of the Incas!
