Important Requirement: Mandatory Travel Insurance

As part of our commitment to passenger safety and preparedness, it is mandatory and of utmost importance to inform all travelers that they must possess valid travel insurance. This requirement is due to the geographical characteristics of our territory, where both terrestrial transit routes and trekking trails span a wide range of altitudes — from coastal valleys at sea level to high Andean regions ranging between 4,000 and 5,000 meters above sea level.

When you join any of our Inca Trail tours, you’re not only walking through ancient ruins — you’re entering the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu (SHM), a protected natural and cultural heritage site. This sacred route is home to endangered species of flora and fauna, and it’s our collective responsibility to help preserve it.

As part of our commitment to sustainable tourism, all travelers and porters will receive a full orientation from our guide at the start of the trek. Please take a moment to review the following important conduct guidelines:

• 🚫 Do not litter: All solid waste must be carried out. Leave no trace.

• 🧱 Do not climb or sit on archaeological walls.

• ❌ Graffiti and vandalism are strictly prohibited.

• 🏕 Stay within the assigned camping zones. Do not enter restricted areas.

• 🔇 Avoid loud noises that may disturb wildlife.

• 🌿 Do not pick flowers or damage plants — many are endangered species.

• 🔥 Campfires are not allowed on the trail or at campsites.

• ♻️ Single-use plastics are banned. Use reusable bottles and containers.

Thank you for traveling respectfully and helping us protect one of the most extraordinary places on Earth.
