The Inca Trail is still closed, but there’s been progress in getting one of the world’s top attractions back to business after severe flood damage earlier this year.
The vital rail link to Peru’s sacred ruins of Machu Picchu will reopen on 29 March, ready for the Inca site itself to open on 1 April …
The cheap train is not opening, note.
On the bright side, the normally near useless Peruvian government is cutting air fares and hotel rates hoping to draw tourists to Cuzco.
All the alternative trails to Mach Picchu are open, including our favourite Choquequirao to Machu Picchu.
Consider, too, the 4 treks in Peru we like best:
• Ausangate Circuit TOP 10
• Huayhuash Circuit
• Alpamayo
• Santa Cruz Trek

That is good news on the Machu Pichu trail reopening. I’ve got new hiking gear and now have a reason to plan a trip! I want to do part of the Continental Divide first and maybe head to Peru over the summer months.
