Permits for Lares & KM104?

V
Asked by: Vince

Are permits required for the Lares and Short Inca Trail trek?

Answered by: Sarah Confer

No permits are required for the Lares trek but you do need a permit for the KM104 trek. The good news is this permit system is totally separate to the full Inca Trail permit system, and availability is rarely a problem.

Sarah has been visiting Peru since 2006. She has travelled extensively throughout the country as well as the rest of South America, and is especially familiar with Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the surrounding highland communities. An avid hiker, she has spent many a weekend hiking in Peru's mountains, spending the cold nights huddled under layers of handwoven blankets. She’s also trekked in Europe and Patagonia.

She now splits her time between Canada and Cusco, and spends her days dreaming up adventurous Peruvian itineraries, and helping people create memories they’ll cherish for a lifetime.
