Licensed Inca Trail Tour Operators 2016

All companies operating the Inca Trail must be registered and have a special Inca Trail operators license. This license is issued annually each January. There are 188 licensed operators (2015). Many of these companies, however, may only operate a trek a couple of times a month during the high season and these treks are mainly private groups for overseas tour companies. Great care has to be taken when choosing a tour operator since many companies have great looking websites but operate out of a bedroom on the outskirts of Cusco!! There are really only a handful of reliable tour operators that offer the Inca Trail trek with fixed-date departures throughout the year. When making a trek booking you will be asked to pay a deposit of about 50%. This is needed by the company to buy your trek permit and reserve your train tickets. Always ensure that this deposit is paid to a company account and not to an account in the name of one of the employees. All companies listed in Part 1 below are well established and recommended in at least one major guidebook so you shouldn't have any problems. Many accept payment of the deposit by credit card or PayPal to their company account. The companies listed in Part 2 below are a bit of an unknown quantity to us. At least 20 companies are completely new and another 20 companies previously listed in 2014 did not receive their license in 2015 (obviously not listed below). For added security try to avoid wiring money to individuals working for these companies and ask for their company account details. Beware of "too good to be true" trek prices.
