Via The Adventure Blog I learned the bad news:
… the Instituto Nacional de Cultura (INC), the agency controlling the Inca Trail, has informed them that no one will be able to operate treks on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in March of this year due to the recent flooding.
INC will refund all permits purchased for trekking the Inca Trail in March. …
Actually, Machu Picchu may open. The Inca Trail itself will be closed.
If you were planning a trekking holiday in South America, don’t panic. Here are 4 alternatives in Peru we like better:
• Ausangate Circuit TOP 10
• Huayhuash Circuit
• Alpamayo
• Santa Cruz Trek
