Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and entry is carefully managed by Peru’s Ministry of Culture to protect it. Tickets are issued for a named visitor, a specific date and a set route, while the Inca Trail has a strict daily limit on how many people can start the trek. That is why checking availability early makes such a difference to your trip.
Have a date in mind for Machu Picchu or the Inca Trail? Check availability online on the Peru Hikers website, then send us your preferred travel date by WhatsApp or email. Our local Cusco team will confirm what’s available, explain your options, and handle the purchase of your Machu Picchu tickets or Inca Trail permits as part of your booking.
How to book with Peru Hikers
Check availability on our website. Start with the experience you’re interested in, whether it’s a Machu Picchu day tour by train or an Inca Trail trek.
Send us your preferred travel date. Use the WhatsApp button or email listed on this page. If your dates are flexible, you can send us a date range.
Review your options with our Cusco team. We’ll check the latest availability, explain which circuit or trek is available, and confirm what’s included before you book. Once you confirm, we’ll guide you through the traveler details needed to secure your tickets or permits.
Booking through a local operator takes the guesswork out of the process. Inca Trail permits cannot be bought by individual travelers. They are requested through licensed operators using each trekker’s passport details. Our Cusco team handles this every season, so your tickets, permits, trains and guides all fit together without last minute surprises.
Visiting Machu Picchu by train?
Tell us when you’d like to visit. We’ll check which circuits and entry times are available and coordinate them with your train, transfers, and guided visit. If you’re hoping for the classic Machu Picchu photo or want to hike Huayna Picchu, mention it when you reach out so we can check the right route for you.

Can I buy Inca Trail permits directly from the government?
No. Individual travelers cannot buy Inca Trail permits themselves. They must be requested through a licensed tour operator, which submits each trekker’s passport details to the Ministry of Culture. Peru Hikers handles this for you as part of your booking.

What happens if my preferred date is sold out?
