There is no government restriction on the age limit for the Inca Trail. However as a responsible trekking company Peru Treks does not accept reservations for children under the age of 8 years old and adults over 67 years old. All children under 18 years old must also be accompanied by an adult. We require that all of our trekkers over 64 years old hire the service of an extra half porter (6kg). Trekkers over 64 years old must also consult with their doctor prior to starting the trek to check that they are suitably fit to participate. They must follow their doctors recommendations even if this means cancelling their trek booking. We also recommend that clients over 64 years old arrive in Cusco at least 3 days prior to starting the trek (rather than the usual 2 days). We recommend that all clients over 59 years old should talk to their doctor well in advance about how best to plan for the trek and also to ensure that their travel insurance covers such adventure activities. We do not accept bookings from single trekkers over 60 years old (i.e. trekkers travelling on their own) and group bookings where everyone in the group is over 64 years old.
