Seeing the high demand of visitors to this Route, the Government chooses to take measures to avoid the impact that indiscriminate visits and possible erosions may affect the Historic Sanctuary, for this reason it is decided to limit the number of entrants for that route.

Thus it was established that the number of people admitted per day to the Inca Trail is 500 spaces. In addition, to carry out this route, the services of an Tour Operator Travel Agency duly accredited as Peruvian Highland Trek must be provided. However, only 200 are hikers and the rest are support personnel and tourist guides.
