You wonder. How many people can enter this walk?
Well, according to the Ministry of Culture of Peru, the number of people allowed for each day is 500, although this number is high, most blogs and websites that say it does not specify that this number includes guides, cooks, porters and drovers. We then making a calculation: About 150 tourists can access by d the Inca trail, then others who could not buy their tickets in time are forced to perform the Salkantay trek, this does not limit access as the other.
All this comes an incredible force in the high season, and at this time many tourists come and to this date have to book 2-4 months in advance to have their tickets, with the entrance to Machu Picchu no problem, always going space for you to see.
But do not feel bad, Salkantay route is also beautiful, also is considered the best alternative to the Inca Trail, and you can see in the pictures:
