Emergency

105

Rescue is billed

Peru has no free national mountain-rescue service like Chile's. On the Inca Trail your licensed operator handles evacuation — guides carry oxygen, a radio and a first-aid kit — and any helicopter or private clinic is paid up front and reclaimed from your insurer.

Buy travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking to 4,215 m (Dead Woman's Pass), emergency evacuation, repatriation and altitude sickness (AMS/HACE/HAPE). By law the Inca Trail must be booked through a Ministry of Culture / SERNANP-authorized operator — independent trekking is banned — and reputable operators ask to see a mountain-rescue policy before you start.
