Guides
Guides built from the numbers
Each guide is a table across every trek we compare, made from the same sourced figures as the comparisons. No opinions, and nothing that is not on a page you can open.
Permits and park fees, trek by trek
What the permits and entry fees cost on every trek we compare, how many operators include them, and where each figure comes from.
How much to tip on each trek
The tip we budget for guides, cooks and porters on every trek, per day and for a typical trip, with the source of each figure.
Gear you can rent, trek by trek
Which items trekkers usually rent on each trek instead of carrying them from home, what the rental costs, and how many operators include it.
What trek packages leave out
For every trek, how many operators include transport, permits, hotel nights, meals, a porter and gear, how many leave it out, and how many do not say.
Two treks, side by side
21 pairs people weigh up, such as Inca Trail against Salkantay, on all-in price, days and what is included.
