To deliver the licenses and be an operator of the Inca Trail first you have to verify if:

• They have an office in the city of Cusco.
• If they are international companies, have a local agency.
• Warehouse with the necessary equipment for the Inca Trail (first aid kit, dining tents, kitchen tent, cooking equipment, mattresses and clothes for the porters).
• SERNANP verifies all this and visits the warehouses of each company at least once a year.
