In reply to Michel. Hi Michel, the alternative treks to Machu Picchu can be completed independently (i.e. without a guide). I always recommend taking a guide though as it is safer and generally better from an organisation perspective. As for the Inca Trail, this is a regulated and permitted route. If you plan to trek the Inca Trail you will need to book with a registered agency and use a registered guide.

In reply to Julie.

Hi Julie, yes, it is possible to arrange a private trek. It will be more expensive than joining an open group, but will give you the flexibility to go at your own pace. Check out our service to get a quote from our recommended partner: https://www.machupicchutrek.net/go/

Mark, Hi, Myself and a friend are planning to trek to MP sometime in 2020. We are both quite physically affected by rheumatoid arthritis but determined to do this. I’m know we can do this, it’s just going to take us a bit longer. I see the ‘regular’ hikes are 3-4 days, is it possable to hire a private guide for the two of us, to go at our pace, without breaking the bank?
