Inca Trail permits are already sold out for many dates in May and June! Permits for July and August just went on sale, but they always sell the fastest.
To get a permit for the Inca Trail, the national park service requires the hiker’s passport information and a non-refundable deposit. The permits are issued for a specific person on a specific date at a specific point on the Inca Trail. Once purchased, these permits are not transferable or changeable in any way.
There are a number of alternative treks in the Cusco area that are not as famous as the Inca Trail, but are in many ways much more interesting and beautiful.
The Quechua Villages and Inca Ruins Trek takes you through the rural countryside from Cusco to Ollantaytambo through the villages of Parpishu, Chilipahua, and Peroniyoc. You will not see other tourists on this trek, but you will have the opportunity to interact with the local people as well as magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. This trek is finished off with two days at Machu Picchu including tour and overnight in Aguas Calientes — either with a day hike on the Inca Trail through the Sun Gate or via the train.
If you are planning on hiking the Inca Trail this summer, contact us as soon as possible to reserve your preferred dates! We have some set departures available, if you want to join a group. These also require permits, but are more reasonably priced for the single traveler or two people traveling together.

Geocaching is a treasure hunt for travelers and GPS users. People have set up caches all over the world, and you get to find them!
Sometimes they can be found at famous tourist sites, but sometimes they are located in a travelers favorite off-the-beaten-track spot. When you find the cache, there may be a token reward inside, and you can add your name to the list of people who have found the cache. It may be possible to find a geocache without a GPS, but it’s much easier and more fun with the GPS.
Adventures Within Reach has it’s own geocache located at Saddle Hut on Mt. Meru. Other geocaches in Tanzania include Uhuru Peak of Kilimanjaro, Serengeti Visitor’s Center, Olduvai Gorge, and Jozani Forest on Zanzibar.
In Peru, you can find geocaches at Machu Picchu, in Lima, and at Lake Titicaca. In Nepal, there are geocaches at Kala Pattar, Annapurna Base Camp, and Kathmandu.
Tibet and Bhutan can definitely use some more and better geocaches. AWR can help maintain them in country.
If you have a GPS, you may want to bring it with you on your travels and have fun with geocaching!
