Dear Melissa,
Thank you for your email. For now, authorities expect that the Inca Trail will be open on March 1, like every year. We think so too.
The trail has not been strongly damaged so the usual maintenance is taking place on the site. The problem are the access routes by train that have been seriously damaged by floods. Reconstruction of the railroad has already started but in the event they are not finished in time for the reopening, we will arrange some alternate transportation to go back to Cusco. Nothing is final yet, we are waiting to see how fast reconstruction goes. For now, your trek is still on for March 22.
Don't worry, we will let you know in the next days if there are changes to expect in your reservation.
Best wishes,
