One of the world's classic hikes the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a multi-day trek following the traditional Incan route arriving to the city of Machu Picchu through the Gate of the Sun.
The Peruvian Government's concern about overuse and erosion has led to regulations in the number of people permitted on the trail each day. A maximum of 500 people including guides and porters are granted permits to begin the trail everyday. As a result, advance booking is mandatory, especially between May - November (high season).
During the low season the government maintains the trail and closes each February for cleaning. During February visitors may still visit the Lost City of the Incas via a train service from The Sacred Valley or Cusco.
