Inca Trail Booking Policies
Book the Inca Trail in advance with Travel Tour Group tour operator. There are two types of travel agency that will try and sell you an Inca trail tours: registered tour operators and middle men, otherwise known as endosars. The registered tour operators are a small quantity that run, sell, and operate their own Inca Trail Treks.
All operators will need you for a 50% deposit which is generally NON-REFUNDABLE. It is non-refundable simply because the MINISTERIO DE CULTURA does not give back the tour operator any money when a passenger cancels, changes a date or name wrong. The tour operator then has to re-apply for a new permit if passengers change dates. The Inca Trail tour operator have different Payment methods.
There is no such thing as a WAITLIST / CANCELLATION LIST. If any agency / operator tells you that they can do this, they are simply not telling the truth and are operating illegally! Its as simple as if a passenger cancels their space is not given to anybody else - period!
