"No separate fee" and "–" mean our cost sheet has no line for it on that trek: either there is no such fee, or every package includes it (the Inca Trail permit, for example, is only sold inside a package). The trek page says which.

The same company's all-in price on each trek, so you can see the difference without the operator changing.
Every figure comes from the two comparison pages, where each operator's price links to its own website and each added cost to its source.
