The Inca trail

[sickofmorons]

Hi there I am going to Peru around next April/ May and am wondering if anyone can recommend the best way to do the Inca trail i.e. any companies they have used and would recommend- thanks in advance.

Always wanted to do that... Bst of luck...

Here's a diary of one who did it that I've followed for some time...

In order to walk the Inca trail, you have to get a license. The only way of getting a license is to go with an organised group.

Two of the most highly recomended tour groups are United Mice (http://www.unitedmice.com/) and SAS Travel (http://www.sastravelperu.com/).

There are cheaper companies out there but as the saying goes 'you get what you paid for'. Cheaper companies will pay sherpa's less, and food can get dull and repetitve.
