IMPORTANT

INCA TRAIL - Important Notice
According to the Resolution #002-2004-UGM-CD, published in El Peruano on Nov 12, 2004, modifying chapter III of the Inca Trail Regulation which refers to Inca Trail space bookings, bookings will only be guaranteed by the governmental institutions when providing full names, nationalities and passport numbers of passengers, and when having paid the full amount of passengers’ and agency staff’s (chef and team of porters) entrance fees.
Since the Inca Trail has a maximum allowance of 500 people per day (including passengers, porters and agency staff), we strongly recommend to make your bookings as much in advance as possible to make sure you will find spaces on the desired departure date.

VERY IMPORTANT:
The following client information is requested for any Inca Trail booking:

• Complete names and surnames.
• Nationality.
• Passport number.
• Date of Birth.
• Gender

The exact information provided by you will be submitted to the governmental institution in charge of regulating the access to the Inca Trail and will be included in the official permit to enter the Inca Trail on the requested date.
Should there be any change in the above-mentioned data (ie. new passport number), we kindly request you to inform the Reservation Department at UNION TOURS via email as soon as possible and no later than 30 days prior to the Inca Trail departure date.
The government reserves the right not to allow the entry to any visitor whose data are not the exact ones as those in the official permit. UNION TOURS declines any responsibility for a no entry in case the passenger information has changed without prior notice to us in due time.

• The booking has been first confirmed by our Reservation Department by e-mail, this meaning that spaces are available on the Inca Trail for the requested date at the moment of the booking.
