Want to Hike the Inca Trail Next Year? Get Your Permits Now

SEATTLE, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The legendary Inca Trail, leading to Machu Picchu through the mountains and cloud forests of the Peruvian Andes, needs no introduction but it does need a highly sought-after hiking permit. This beautiful trek has been wisely protected by the Peruvian government and a strict permit system is in place to prevent too many people from starting the trail on any given day. The permits ensure the trails are not overrun, help pay for further archeological excavations and preserve ruins that have already been found.

These permits tend to sell out far in advance and they are currently on sale for the 2019 peak hiking season, April through October. Since October 1^st, when the permits first became available for 2019, many dates in April and May have already sold out and June, July, and August are also selling quickly.

The Inca Trail winds its way through majestic mountains and centuries-old ruins to reach the abandoned city of Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
