The temperatures at night may fall below zero, so it is important to come prepared. Our local crew of porters cooks and guide look after us well for the duration of the hike. If you are going to hire out Porters; they will carry the majority of the gear for the hike, so those passengers doing the hike only carry a small daypack with water, rain gear, snacks, a camera, etc. Depending on the season, you may see a great variety of flora, including miniature and large orchids, and fiery rhododendron bushes. The Inca Trail goes over high passes with unforgettable views, through cloud forest, and finally into a great subtropical vegetation that you will feel since the third day or on the dinner on the second day.
