General Information

Weather : May to November are the best months for hiking the Inca Trail as far as weather is concerned!  Temperatures at that time of year tend to range from 10-20°C (nice and temperate) but it will become cooler as we climb higher – becoming close to zero at night.  The weather can change dramatically and quickly so we must be prepared for cold and wet weather – there is an average of 3 rainy days per month in May so we are not likely to get too damp!  But it is still absolutely vital to bring some warm clothes and waterproofs with us as there is nothing worse than being cold and wet.

Language : Spanish – we have been told not to worry if we aren’t fluent as we will be accompanied by local English speaking guides.  However our local guides will hugely appreciate it if we can say just a few words.
