Before You Travel

Prepare for your Luxury Glamping Inca Trail Honeymoon with these practical, real-world recommendations to ensure comfort, safety, and a smooth experience from start to finish.

  • Bring local cash (Peruvian Soles):
    Not all small shops or local communities along the route accept cards. Carry cash in Soles for personal purchases, snacks, restrooms, and optional tips.
  • Original passport only:
    Your passport is required at Inca Trail checkpoints and at the Machu Picchu entrance. Photocopies or photos on your phone are not accepted.
  • Pack a small daypack:
    Porters carry your main duffle bag, but you will need a comfortable daypack for water, layers, sunscreen, snacks, camera, and personal medications.
  • Use broken-in hiking boots:
    Bring trekking boots with good grip and ankle support that you have already used before. Avoid brand-new footwear on the trail.
  • Dress in layers:
    Weather changes quickly in the Andes. Combine a base layer, mid-layer (fleece or light jacket), and a waterproof / windproof outer shell for comfort throughout the day.
  • Expect variable weather:
    Even in the dry season, mornings can be cold and cloud forest sections may bring mist or light rain. A compact poncho or lightweight rain jacket is highly recommended.
  • Altitude considerations:
    Cusco and the Inca Trail are at high altitude. Arrive in Cusco 1–2 days before the trek, stay hydrated, avoid heavy alcohol on the first day, and consult your doctor in advance if you have concerns about altitude.
  • Limited power on the trail:
    Electricity is limited in remote glamping camps. Bring a power bank, extra camera batteries, and your own charging cables. Charging options, if available, may be occasional only.
  • Personal hygiene & toiletries:
    Luxury glamping includes private hot showers and a bathroom tent, but you should still bring your own toiletries, wet wipes, and hand sanitizer.
  • Dietary requirements:
    If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, inform us in advance so your private chef can plan and prepare appropriate meals throughout the trek.
  • Duffle bag weight limit:
    Porters follow strict weight regulations. Your duffle bag has a limited allowance, so pack only essential personal items and leave heavy, non-essential gear in Cusco.
