IMPORTANT NOTE OF INCA TRAIL

Nevertheless take note there is a limit of visitors per day so I suggest
you to book the trip as soon as possible to guarantee your spots.
*Remember to take your original passport and Isic Card on the inca trail
because without them you are not going to be able to do the hiking and
take only the necessary items for the trek,the rest of your luggages you
can leave it at your hotel in Cusco (most of hotels and hostals has an
storage where to keep until your return)
