Getting Around You will discover much of Dogon Country by foot. Be aware that the interior of the Dogon Country is very steep and that many villages are not accessible by road. It is highly recommended that when traveling through villages that you hire a local official guide to accompany you to avoid wondering into protected or sacred areas as these are not marked. Trespassing into these areas may result in a confrontation with village elders. |
How To Go To Dogon By AIR--
By Air-- There are regular flights from Paris and Marseille to Mopti/Sevare offered by Point Afrique from October through March. The airport at Sevare, 13km from Mopti, is the closest airstrip to Pays Dogon and can also be reached by Compagnie Aerienne du Mali and Air Mali Express with spotty service connecting Mopti to Bamako and Tombouctou. BY BUS--
By Road-- The town of Bandiagara serves as the gateway to Pays Dogon and is relatively easily accessed by a well-paved road from Mopti/Sevare. From Bandiagara, the paved road turns to dirt, which can be impassable during times of heavy rains. The buses that are highly recommended from Bamako are the bus lines Bani, Binke, and Bittar. They cost 7,500cfa to 8,000cfa, with service straight to Sevare. The Ghana bus line also runs directly to Bandiagara twice a week for 12,000cfa from Bamako. Another more economical option are taxis bâchés, which can be hired at special departure points and bus stations. Taxis bâchés are converted minivans with the seats removed and as many people as can fit crammed in the back, thus these trips tend to be a bit uncomfortable, albeit economical. rENT A 4-WHEEL
If renting a car yourself, four-wheel drive is a necessity to navigate these roads, and hiring a driver is highly recommended. It is possible to travel to Dogon Country from Burkina Faso. Ouagadougou, the capital, is only a 6 hour drive from Bandiagara. |

The Inca Hiking/Trekking To Machu Picchu
Inca Trail is considered to be among the 10 best treks in the world
This 33km (20mi) ancient trail was laid by the Incas and is currently traversed by thousands each year. The trail leads from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu winding its way up and down and around the mountains, taking three high passes en route. Views of white-tipped mountains and high cloud forest combine with the magic of walking from one cliff-hugging ruin to the next – understandably making this South America’s most famous trail. Inca Trail Regulations state that each trekker must be accompanied by a professionally qualified guide. The UGM (Unidad de Gestión Machu Picchu) is the regulatory body responsible for controlling access to MP and the Inca Trail. Companies must meet certain basic requirements proving that they have professional guides and good camping equipment, radio communications, and emergency first aid including oxygen. Their license is renewed each year and the list of authorized guides and agencies appears in the official website www.machupicchu.gob.pe
Where does the Inca Trail trek start?
Your journey to Machu Picchu will start in Peru’s city of Cuzco, and this stunning trek begins at a place called Kilometer 82. As the name suggests, this famous trail head is situated 82 kilometers along the railway from Cuzco, on the way to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. You can board a train to Kilometer 82 at Poroy Station in Cuzco, which is approximately 18 kilometers from the city centre. On this journey you’ll pass through the town of Ollantaytambo, and you’ll find Kilometer 82 situated halfway between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes.
When is the best time to trekiking Inca Trail to Machu Picchu?
Weather-wise, the most popular time to trek the Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is during the dry season that runs from May to October, when the rainfall in the Amazon basin is at its lowest and you’ll be able to make the most of Peru’s blue-sky-days. Having said that, April and November are great choices too, since you tend to get the best of both worlds when it comes to the weather and there are fewer tourists around.
Do It need to be book ahead?
YES! It is recommended that you make a reservation for the Inca Trail and pay for your entrance fee well in advance.
Bookings should be done: Dec, Jan, Mar: 5-7 weeks in advance / April, Oct, Nov: 8-10 weeks in advance / May, Sep: 3-4 months in advance / Jun, Jul, Aug: 5-6 months in advance.
What is the price of the trail? What does it include?
Prices for the 4 day group service Inca trail trek generally range between USD $360 to 800 per person including entrance fees and return on train (You can almost double these figures if you buy the trek with a tour agency outside Peru even though the service is the same). This price includes Peruvian sales tax known as IGV which is currently at 18%. A $40 discount is offered to students who have valid ISIC cards and to children under 16 years old. This is the standard service offered by most tour operators in Cusco and offers the most economic way of hiking the Inca Trail as part of an organized group.
Although services can vary from operator to operator, usually the following services are included: Bus from Cusco to the beginning of the trek, bilingual guide, assistant guide for groups of 9 people and more, entrance tickets to MP (included with trek permits), tent, sleeping mattress, cooking equipment, cook, meals, porters (to carry the tents, food and cooking equipment only) and return trip to Cusco in the Expedition train service.
