Nevertheless take note there is a limit of visitors per day so I

because without they you are not going to be able to do the

Cusco (most of hotels and hostals has an storage where to keep
until your return)

regularly before your trip. To fully enjoy an Salkantay Inka
Trail adventure, we advise passengers to get into an exercise
