Are there any available spots left to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in May/June?

Accepted answer

Most likely the tour operators aren't actually sold out as such, but the the permits are. When there are no permits available, no tour operator is going to be able to help you!

Permits are indeed required for all hikers on the on the "Inca Trail", and for peak periods they often sell out months in advance as only ~200 hikers are allowed to set-out on the trail each day. According to this website, there are no permits available between April and early July.

There are other options for hiking around Cusco, the most popular being the Lares trek - although personally I'd try and reschedule your trip at a time when you can get a permit for the Inca Trail if at all possible - it is an amazing experience!
