Will I have the opportunity to meet other trekkers
before I go?
Yes, we will arrange a meet and greet evening for everyone
(locations permitting) prior to departure. We will also set
up an online community Facebook group where everyone
will be able to keep up to date with preparation activities,
events and fundraising tips etc.
Can I extend my stay?
Yes! We understand that it’s a long way to go, so Jayes
Travel will have several add-on packages for you to
consider or you can choose to travel independently after
the trek.
NB: Additional travel arrangements are at your own cost.
Do I need to have a certain level of fitness to
complete this trek?
The Inca Trail is considered a moderate hike. It’s not a
technical hike but there are a lot of Inca staircases to walk
up and down, and the altitude may affect some individuals.
Is altitude sickness common? And how high is the
Inca Trail?
It is impossible to predict who will be affected by altitude.
Your ability to adapt to high altitude is determined by your
genetic makeup and has little to do with fitness or health.
Most people will have no problem as long as they take the
time to acclimatise properly.
A full day spent in Cusco (3249m), taking it easy and
drinking plenty of water, is usually enough for most people.
The highest point you will reach while hiking the Inca Trail
is 4200 meters. You will sleep at 3600 meters for one or
two nights.
This trek also allows for further acclimatisation in
Hatunsongo for 3 days prior to the actual trek, where we
will be taking part in a volunteer program.
