Inca Trail Bathroom

You ll be lucky if your toilet has a lock.

Inca trail bathroom. We trekked the inca trail last sept. Inca trail toilets are not the most hygienic clean or private affairs. Not to mention they only get cleaned a couple times if ever during the year so they can get pretty sketchy.

On the first day the toilets are usually fairly decent and clean. For these bathrooms you ll have to pay 1 soles to use which is why it s important to have some change with you on the inca trail. I ve just returned from the inca trail.

On the inca trail that happened several times. We usually did not have lines to use the facilities. However as you venture further along the trail the quality rapidly decreases.

Bathroom 101 on the inca trail. Take toilet paper wet ones hand sanitizer gel. Otherwise known as inca toilets there are many bathrooms along the trail but they often are nothing more than a rundown outhouse or hole in the ground at best.

For the first few days on the inca trail when you re still fairly close to civilization you re responsible for buying your own water bottles and bathroom access so it s important to have change with you. For people hiking the 5 day inca trail or if you book permits for the 4 day hike when availability is below 200 you could end up at remote phuypatamarca camp on day 3. Make sure you bring a lot of coins toilet paper and hand sanitizer for yourself.

Toilets were in private stalls with plumbing running water just no throne so strengthen the quads so you can squat. It s literally a hold in the ground. And if you ve been to china then you know what bathrooms to expect most bathrooms are squatters.
