Oftentimes when you are working with devices with internal fluid flow, the imported CAD design represents the vessel material. The inside is plainly void. This may leave you clueless since it is inside where you want to create a volume mesh for the flow equations. How can you solve this meshing problem in COMSOL?Read more ⇢

It has been some time since we've had the "Tips & Tricks" column in COMSOL News. Many people have asked me for tips on how to use COMSOL Multiphysics, so I figured I would share some with you here on the blog. The first in this new series of tips and tricks explains how you can create high-resolution images of COMSOL models.Read more ⇢

Did you know that it is easy to set up certain kinds of inverse problems in COMSOL real quick with the aid of the Global Equations feature? Imagine this: instead of asking "how hot will the house get if I fire the boiler with three logs per hour", you ask "I want the living room to be 72 °F, how many logs per hour should I feed the boiler with?".Read more ⇢
Niklas Rom | July 3, 2009
This week I will talk about CAD import. Many times, the first task a new user of COMSOL is up to is to lay their hands on the CAD models of the design team. After all, COMSOL handles the analysis, which needs to be closely tied with the design process. Ideally, design and analysis is integrated in one single process. There are different ways to marry the CAD models with the analysis. File based import is maybe the most common […]Read more ⇢

SPEC Kit 320 explores the core employment benefits of retirement, and life, health, and other insurance —benefits that are typically decided by the parent institution and often have significant governmental regulation. It includes documentation from respondents that describe the benefits offered to library staff, provide details about retirement plans and life and health insurance options, and describe job requirements for staff who administer benefits programs.
This publication is available for purchase in both online and print versions. Download the spec-kit-purchase-options-2013.pdf for complete pricing and purchase options information.
Link to the online SPEC Kit 320 on the ARL Digital Publications website.
SPEC Kit 315 investigates two broad categories of benefit plans currently offered to professional library staff at ARL member libraries: leave time and support for professional development activities. Topics include benefits eligibility; holiday and intersession leave; plan designs and accrual rates for paid time off (PTO), vacation, and sick leave; and professional development leaves such as dedicated research time and sabbaticals. Other professional development topics include financial support and relief from duties for conference attendance; funding for professional association memberships; and financial and other support for college credit course work, internships, and certifications. It includes documentation from respondents in the form of policies on travel support, professional development leave and funding, sabbaticals, education, and tuition assistance and an example of an individual development award program.

Modern Blues in a Tanzanite Diamond Ring
Tanzanite is a relatively newly discovered gem (1967) mined only from the hills of the state of Tanzania in East Africa. This tantalizing stone was hailed as "the gemstone of the twentieth century". No wonder as its deep blue color which can range from blue-violet to ultramarine blue with hints of purple.
A magnetic 1.0 carat oval tanzanite draws you in with its enticing blue-violet color prong set within a marvelous mount of 18k white gold. The saturation of color immersed against a "background" of forty-six round brilliant diamonds (with a total estimated diamond weight of 1 carat) creates an unbelievable chromatic for the tanzanite gem.
Diamonds galore in bands crisscrossed and capturing the magical stone with a diamond-studded embrace. Only this seamlessly transition from diamond encrusted shoulders to a gently tapering band does justice to such an open and pierced mount.
Measurements: 9/16 of an inch (1.4 cm) north to south on the hand by 5/8 of an inch (1.5 cm) at the widest and rises 5/8 of an inch (0.8 cm) high off the finger. Weight of 6.3 grams (4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7 (UK N-1/2; Euro 17.25, 55 mm) and can be easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: DPL and 750 (for 18k).
Condition: Excellent
Date: Circa later 20th century.
Note 1: All diamond weights are approximate as the stones have not been removed in order to preserve the integrity of the setting.
Note 2: Tanzanite weight is the actual known carat weight.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Edwardian Crystal Ball Locket
No better way to see into this new year than with this circa 1900 rock crystal locket. Yellow gold gilt bezels frame each of the double sided hinged cabochons of clear rock crystal which have been carved out to allow for scrying into the future or to secure a keepsake close to the heart. Due to the curious nature of crystal, all contents within are magnified. If an item bears any sort of typeface, it is perceived upside down if viewed from a distance. Oone is reminded of an old fashioned snow globe as icicle-like inclusions which appear as ice crystals, flow across the bottom of one side when viewed from certain angles.
Condition: Very good; light wear overall as expected with age and use; some tiny surface irregularities in the metal, minor scratches viewable upon very close inspection or with magnification.
Measurements: 1-2/16 inches (2.8 cm) in length including top two "O" fittings by 7/8 of an inch (2.2 cm) in width by ¾ of an inch (1.8 cm) in depth. This antique locket has a weight of 10.8 grams.
Date: Circa 1900

Recycling is a contemporary term which essentially allows for existent musical or sound material to be reused in a new context. Similar to composers' and musicians' traditional borrowing of their own or their predecessors' music in their own work, recycling allows sounds or musical material to be appropriated and musically recontextualised. As with earlier ages, the line between creative use and plagiarism is open to interpretation.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes inflammation in the joints and certain other organs throughout the body. It is called an autoimmune disorder. It is believed that the body's immune system accidentally mistakes its own tissues for foreign invaders. The immune system attacks the joints and organs, causing damage.
Researchers are not sure what causes the immune system to respond so destructively. It may be caused by a combination of factors, including:
- Genes—People with rheumatoid arthritis may have a specific genetic defect that increases their risk for developing this condition.
- Defects in the immune system may cause the immune cells to fail to recognize the body's own tissues.
- Infection with specific viruses or bacteria that kick off an abnormal immune response. However, so far no infection has been found.
- Chemical or hormonal imbalances in the body.

D.C. Watch: Farm bill troubles continue to mount
It is still unclear if the House will bring up and vote on the farm bill in the lame-duck session after the election.
But the House vote on the farm bill will have to happen near the beginning of the session or there won't be time to get the bill completed before this Congress ends. And once the new Congress is sworn in, all the work that was done on the farm bill this year disappears and the new Congress must start the process over!
Most observers believe there will be less money available for farm programs if the farm bill is pushed off into next year. But if we are to get a farm bill yet this year, first the House needs to pass their version. Then it needs to go to a conference committee with the Senate to mesh the two bills together. And then the compromise bill has to be approved by both the full House and Senate. And all this needs to happen in about a four week period.
But some House members say there are enough votes to pass the farm bill that was developed in the Agriculture Committee. A group of 25 House members conducted a survey before Congress adjourned and came up with more than 220 votes in favor of the farm bill. A total of 218 votes are needed for passage.
However the key vote is House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) who controls what bills the House will consider. And at least so far, Cantor has blocked bringing the farm bill to the floor for a vote.
There won't be many changes immediately with the old farm bill expiring as September ends. But the Agriculture Act of 1949 goes into effect on January 1. The 1949 law uses "parity prices", which are based on a 1910-to-1914 ratio, for determining price support levels. Parity prices reflect the buying power of farm commodities in the base period versus costs of other goods and services. The 2012 parity price support for wheat, for example, would be $13.58 per bushel and the milk price support level soars to near $38 per cwt. under parity! Congress will need to take some action at least by early next year to avoid reverting back to the 1949 law.
And the farm bill cliffhanger isn't the only one Congress faces after the election. They also need to deal with the Bush-era tax cuts that all expire at the end of the year and many members want to at least rearrange the spending cuts that will automatically take effect in January under last summer's budget agreement.
Under current law, cuts totaling $109 billion go into effect in January, with half of the cuts in defense spending and half in domestic programs. The combination of the expiring tax cuts and the reductions in spending are being called the "fiscal cliff" - with many economists predicting a recession next year if Congress takes no action. Congress may also have to raise the debt ceiling again by the end of the year. The farm bill could get lost amid all of these priorities in the fairly short lame duck session of Congress.
President Obama and Presidential candidate Romney both support renewable fuels and passage of a strong farm safety net. Romney says he would give farmers relief from hefty environmental regulations and would push for repeal of the estate tax. President Obama touts his record of helping farmers deal with this year's drought and policies to strengthen rural economic growth.
The U.S. will start accruing massive export losses unless big investments are made in infrastructure according to a new report by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The report says public investment of $30 billion is needed in the nations' ports and inland waterways by 2020. By 2015 new mega-ships will pass through the improved Panama Canal, but these ships may be too big for East Coast ports to handle. But realistically, investments will probably fall short of what is called for in the current budget environment.

Why hasn't the farm bill been passed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTudILWFj94
My trust in the word of my elected officials has never been lower . My republican party has proven to be a total failure in their responsibilty to lead . Promisses from the leader and a few days later , he changes his mind to please the incompetant new comers to congress , who have little or no knowledge as to the improtance of a sound agricultural community to the entire economy . Farmers need to trust their own instinct and join togeather to put a price on their production . Our co-ops are supposed to be doing that . Many have been falling short of that responsibility . It would seem that some cherish their relationship with the processors more than that of the needs of their own members . It usually takes around three to five years for a farmer sitting on a board to begin to think like management instead of a farmer and his fellow farmers advocate . If he doesn't , he usually is gone soon . The trust that the farmers place working with their fellow farmers toward a common goal which will assure all a better lifestyle is the best direction for all of us . Just make sure that the direction is positive and benificial .
Returning to parity seems a good thing thing to me. Specially if we get a few months of $38/cwt. The idea that we can live with $ 18.00 is absurd. Break even is at $19 or $20. What is so bad to go back to parity prices?
I hope the good Republicans hold strong and do not pass this Soviet 5 year plan of a farm bill. Some drought relief is ok, but we do not need to bleed the taxpayer anymore. Cut food stamps!!!! And this Dairy Security is a bad joke. That is just a way for those dairy dimwits from NMPF to justify their 6 and 7 figure incomes. How many more boards do we need to fund?? Did I read that correctly? We need to return to parity? How much milk do you think will be sold at those prices? There would be so much milk produced that we would need to land spread it or dump it in the ocean. People need to get a clue. Too many dairies were built in California with money from urban real estate sales. And Texas has too many dairies built in the desert. Many of these unviable operations will shut down and it is not the end of the world or the end of the dairy industry.
At $38 our export markets (VERY important) would almost disappear, presently flagging fluid consumption would do the same, veggie based "milks" , spreads and cheese analogs would replace dairy for a large part of the consuming public. Many people are already saying that they would purchase organic, grass fed, etc but they can't afford it. $38 milk would surpass those prices. Outfits like Kraft would love a reason to get away from using a perishable resource like milk. Be careful what you ask for. Also, for those who keep saying "$18 milk", it only is at that level for short periods, projections now are for $22-23 by December (for CNY).
Since the farm bill has expired, wouldn't it be a good idea to lay off all those who are administrating the farm programs? It would save a lot of taxpayer's money!
Sorry ... It is supply and demand (what people willing to pay). The Senate Farm Bill should NOT be passed with this section still added: SEC. 12211. DEFINITION OF RURAL AREA FOR PURPOSES OF THE HOUSING ACT OF 1949 would increase the pool of recipients and also increased rural community population requirement to 35,000. This population level would be a small City not a true rural community. Also, changing the Census date to 2020 insures those who have already received fair share of benefits over past years and now self-sufficient to continue receiving such benefits. That is the purpose of rural programs to help very small struggling communities grow and become self-sufficient, not to become a Welfare System for self-sufficient communities who have already received past benefits wanting more. This section in the Senate Farm Bill and also appearing in other bills such as House Bill H.R. 273 is a potential Legislative Back Scratching just for the purpose of continuing to feed funding to self sufficient city governments. What our government has been doing since after 1990 is "grandfathering" communities who are no longer rural and allowing them to continue to stick their fingers in the rural money pie, which in turn means less money for those in desperate need who may not have running water, proper sanitation services, decent housing, etc. This is ABUSE of all our TAX DOLLARS for the last 20+ years. Again, we are 16+ Trillion in debt and this contributes to the problem with communities who no longer need or qualify receiving more. This adds to our debt instead of solving major problems in our country such as noted in this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/20/rural-poverty-minorities_n_1829911.html
Please let the bill fail. I am tired of subsidizing Tanika's milk and other products. Yes Tanika...they take my money so you can have cheap groceries....that isn't fair or just.
Let's go a different time period for determining parity. We need to get out of the time period when Europe was draining the worlds grains reserves preparing for WW 1 that they knew was comming.
I remember republican farm bills {1952 IKE and Benson Siiding scale of parity = 10 cent hogs !^ cent fat cattle $1.00 corn (Dick Luger and Pat Roberts Freedom to Farm =$1.40 corn $ 8.00 hogs and Smithfield takes over hog production plus this was the most costly farm bill in history with massive LDP and disaster payments .BE alert for what Behnoer Rayan and Cantor have in store for farmers. Ihave farmed through all farm bills since 1950 and these 2 stand out as the worst ever

Fast-pitch softball camps are instructed by collegiate fast-pitch standouts.

|How to Support Our Troops on Veteran's Day
By Medea Benjamin and Gayle Brandeis, For November 11, 2005
This November 11, as we honor the sacrifice and courage of our veterans, let us recognize that the best way to support our troops is to call for their swift exit from Iraq, to guarantee them the care they deserve when they return, and to make policy changes that will stop us from ever again rushing into a reckless, oil-hungry war.
|Why We Do It
by Terri Grayum, CommonDreams.org, November 6, 2005
Why do we do it? What keeps us going back out week after week amid all the discouraging news?
We do it because we have to, because to do nothing is unthinkable. Because we are witnessing the dismantling of the best parts of America compassion, justice, democracy, integrity, hope. Because we have a responsibility to the next generations, to our communities, our families, our selves.
|Two Months Later, Katrina Survivors are Losing the Battle to Return Home
By Medea Benjamin, October 28, 2005
Before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was a city of 485,000 people, 65% of whom were black. Today, officials estimate that during the day there are some 125,000 people, falling to 70,000 at nighttime when many leave to find shelter outside the city. Mayor Nagin predicted that New Orleans would lose about half its pre-Katrina population. And with government policies and market forces stacked against the poor, the "new" New Orleans is becoming whiter and whiter.
|2000 Too Many
by Medea Benjamin and Gayle Brandeis
Published on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 by CommonDreams.org
This 2000 wouldn't have happened without the year 2001. Without 9/11. Those numbers gave our president the false justification to begin this war. Some 3000 Americans were killed on the attacks of September 11. Now almost 2/3 that number have been killed in Iraq. And that's not counting soldiers who have died after leaving Iraq, died from horrendous wounds and tormented suicides. It doesn't count soldiers who are left permanently disabled or those who survived in body but not in spirit, the broken souls whose lives have been shattered by what they did and saw.
|Celebrating Independence in the Era of Empire
by Medea Benjamin
This Fourth of July, while Americans are marching in parades and oohing and aahing at the fireworks, it would be a patriotic gesture to also spend some time thinking about what independence means today. Our nation was founded on a determination to be free of domination by the British empire. The US Declaration of Independence proclaimed the need to fight the War of Independence against Britain because King George III had 'kept among us standing armies' that committed intolerable 'abuses and usurpations.' Today it is our government whose standing army is committing abuses and usurpations in foreign lands.

|Notes from Prison
by Camilo Mejia
December 1st, 2004
When I first heard about the possibility of war, I said to myself that many unlikely things would have to take place. I felt that without clear evidence of nuclear or chemical weapons, without a clear link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, that without clear evidence of Iraq posing a threat to us, we would not really invade.

|June 2005: Phase II of the Anti-War Movement
By Medea Benjamin
For the history books, mark down June 2005 as the moment the US movement against the occupation of Iraq got its second wind. In June, the US public became solidly anti-war, Bushs approval rating took a nosedive, and a significant number of Congresspeople started to call for an exit strategy. This marks a seismic shift from just one month ago, when Congress overwhelmingly passed another $82 billion for warwith only 44 members of the House and not one Senator dissenting.
|Withdraw U.S. Troops, by Medea Benjamin
Published on April 30, 2005 by the Miami Herald / Florida
Two years have passed since President Bush stood atop an aircraft carrier (May 1, 2003) and announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq. Since that "mission accomplished" photo-op, more than 1,400 U.S. troops and thousands of Iraqi civilians have died. And just recently, the Pentagon acknowledged that insurgent attacks have again increased to last year's levels of some 400 attacks per week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dduckie Terrific aid As I've struggled with cyclical back issues, these have become a regular part of my yoga routine, keeping me balanced and helping me attain the correct posture and alignment. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ElizaJane45 Great for extension or assistance These blocks are great for me to get deeper extensions, but they are also great for my husband who needs a little help on a few positions and uses them for stability. We like them so much that I plan to purchase another set. March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shelton Great Blocks I got the purple ones since I go to Kansas State University. I went to a yoga class here and they are the exact same ones which is cool. The purple isn't feminine at all, which is cool being a 24 year old dude, and the foam, while light, is dense enough it an support my 165 lb frame as easily as anything. Great blocks, and a great deal March 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gigs17 Essential to my new practice I was diagnosed with osteoporosis recently and based on recommendations I have to modify my practice. I used to use wooden blocks originally purchased from Gaiam many years ago when I first started doing yoga, but eventually stopped using them as my practice progressed. These foam blocks are so much more comfortable to use and their light weight makes them easier to handle and transport. Plus the color purple makes me happy. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by themobiyogi Firm! Love these blocks. They really are essential to an alignment practice AND they are unparalleled in support, stability and firmness. I shopped other blocks for my classes that were firm, and these by far were the best. September 12, 2012

Why would I choose the recycled yoga block over the foam yoga block/vice versa? I see that their weight varies considerably. What is the reasoning?
4 years, 7 months ago
Number One Contributor
Answer:The only reason their weights differ is the foam weighs less than the recycled materials. The advantage to using the recycled block is it's Eco friendly and made from recycled materials instead of brand new foam. Some people prefer heavier blocks because they feel like they are getting better support but they both support equally.

In the product description, it says that the 3 color options are: hay, purple, & raspberry. But on the actual order form, in the box for color selection, it reads: hay, purple, & robin's egg. Can I still purchase a set of 2 raspberry blocks?

The Fundy Complex combines restaurants, nightlife, and sightseeing to give visitors and locals myriad ways to enjoy the Bay of Fundy. At Fundy Restaurant, diners gaze out of the 80-foot glass solarium to watch the boats and boardwalk while enjoying fresh seafood such as lobster and scallops. Meanwhile, boardwalk seating along the water is an apt extension of Dockside Restaurant's relaxed atmosphere, which invites locals and yachtsmen to stop by for a meal or drink. During the evening hours, Club 98 capitalizes on the region's vibrant nightlife with DJs and dancing.
For self-guided adventures, the complex rents kayaks during spring and summer months. Guests can also stay close to all the sights and activities at Dockside Suites, which offers cozy rooms to retire to, each equipped with the comforts of home such as full kitchens and balconies boasting panoramic views.
Nearly half a century ago, a group of 80 golf lovers decided to transform a farm into a course where the salty breezes off of St. Mary's Bay would blow in and grassy fairways would flourish. Their vision was realized in the founding of Clare Golf & Country Club, whose original front nine were joined by a back nine in the '80s, filling out a championship 18-hole layout. The course embraces beginners, but still challenges golfers who have earned their black belts in putting, inviting all players to exercise their long game at three par 5s while avoiding the stream wending its way among the fairways. After hiring a math-bowl champ to tally up their scorecards, players can unwind on the wraparound porch of the newly built clubhouse that replaced the course's original farmhouse, refuel at the restaurant and bar, or drop by the pro shop for a new set of golf balls.
Course at a Glance:
With picturesque views of the Annapolis Basin, Annapolis Royal Golf Club and Restaurant's course is sure to provide a memorable round. Tree-lined fairways bend to create tricky approach shots, and water hazards require strategic ball placement on several holes. After their round, players can head to the 19th Hole restaurant for homestyle English cuisine.

Cleaning & Organizing
Beds for guests
DGD will be here at least one night and her parents and younger brother will be here for a weekend later in month.
I am always uncertain about how long to leave a bed made up with clean sheets before changing it.
I like to leave the beds made up clean but it might be months before they are used again. Also I wonder if there is a difference between leaving clean sheets on bed or in the linen closet?
Any one else stymied by this question?
Clean on the bed is the same thing as clean in the closet. IMHO
Does this hat make my butt look big?
Leave them on and reuse, esp if you know who the occupant will be. Only thing I'd do is put on fresh pillowcases.
If it is all covered with a spread while there are no guests, I think they are just as clean as in a linen closet.
BTW, When I visit overnight to baby sit at my DD's, I bring my own sheets and pillow (remove her pillows). I put my sheets over the top of hers, so it saves her having to strip the bed after I leave. I remove mine in the morning and hers are still ready to use for the next guest.
Mine are totally covered with the spread & shams. Guests sleep on them as they were clean when I put them on.
I might run the spread & shams through an "air" cycle just before they arrive, depends on it the room has been open or not any time since it was last "refreshed".
My guest room seldom gets opened!
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
Clean on the bed is just fine. My guest room doesn't get used very often.
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
On similar subject and another guest issue...sometimes? Soap.
We use liquid soap in dispensers on the shower/bath walls and at the sink and the little wrapped motel types for anyone wanting bar soap.
A friend uses full size bar soap, but does not want to open a new bar for each different guest visit, so she pours boiling water over the used bar to "sterilize it" before they arrive. She lets her guests know, and they are fine with it too.
It really depends How long they've been on. If it's a few months, I'm fine -- if it's longer than six, I change them again before company comes. But that's just me.
View my blog:
I think sheets become stale smelling if they are left on a bed, or even if they are left sitting in a closet for too long. To me "too long" is more than a month.
For my guest beds, I remove the sheets, and make up the bed using just the bedspread. I store the clean sheets in my linen closet. When a guest is coming, I run the sheets through the wash and make up the bed a day or two before the guests arrive. I know this means an extra wash for the sheets but I like to offer really fresh smelling beds.
Mine are hardly used. It's by my grown kids when they visit. They all stay in the same bed each time. If its one night, the bed is made up for the next time they come. But if they are here for several nights, they get washed and the beds remade. Our guests rooms stay closed off with the vents also closed. A day or so before company arrives the rooms get opened up, dusted, vacuumed, and I turn the covers back and febreeze the beds just to freshen them, even if the sheets were washed after the last visit.there are no allergy concerns with them on using it.
One more thing some hosts may not think of?
Many of us tend to have allergic reactions to the scented softener sheets and liquid fabric softener that one may regularly use in their own laundry.
Wow, Cocok that is something that would be difficult for me as I line dry and iron all linens including bed sheets!
I have lots of sheets so keeping bed made up and then changing if too long a period of time has gone by without a guest I could change but would probably do it just before arrival of guest.
Thanks for input!
I had to start keeping the guest rooms shut off because of my pets.my kids were coming. I had been running around like crazy trying to get ready .Thought I was all finished. A few hours before they were due to arrive, I went in one room and found the bed covered in cat hair. Apparently a couple of them had been going in there for solitary naps. So at the last minute I was stripping the bed and even washing the comforter. So all the doors stay closed now.
When my guest room was not in use for guest I would cover the madeup bed with a king size sheet. That was to keep pet hair off and dust off.
Handie Ann
I am going to start doing this esp for one attic bed that gets a lot of sunshine. I will pile extra pillows on it and cover the whole thing with a white sheet.
I've done this. It works. I just don't do it all the time. I should.
The guest room bed is made up with sheets and coverlet, but the sleeping pillows and pillow cases are kept containers to keep them dust-free. I have guests regularly and the sheets are changed after each visit, so I don't worry about the sheets getting stale.
I don't offer bar soap to guests, only shower gel and liquid hand soap.
As long as your beds are covered with blankets your bed should be clean, just clean the blankets.
Home Decor, coming from the soul.
We have a fair amount of guests. Whole guest area is cleaned, beds made up and I call it done.
Only thing I do last minute is if we have to air-up/make up the air bed in the family room...that's when EVERYbody is coming...LOL!

Inca Trail & Lares Trek
In the footsteps of the ancients
Follow the footpaths of the Inca to the roof of the Andes, passing ancient Tambo ruins, and breathing in pure mountain air by the lungful. Memorable moments are plentiful on the Inca Trail's four-day trek, but none can compare to the moment you walk through the Sun Gate and catch your first glimpse of the forgotten city of Machu Picchu. It's not just an accomplishment; it's a transformative moment.
Why is the Inca Trail so popular?
The Inca Trail is one of our most popular trips in the region, and is ideal for travellers eager to combine the cultural highlights of the Sacred Valley with the challenge of one of the world's best-known hikes. Since its rediscovery over a century ago, much has been done to excavate and study the site. The stretch referred to as the "Inca Trail" today is, in fact, merely the final, dramatic stretch of the Incan road to Machu Picchu. This part of the Trail is a challenging four-day trek from the floor of the Sacred Valley up high mountain passes and through cloud forests and jungle that tests the limits of mind, body, and spirit.
While it is physically demanding, the 40km (25 mi) hike remains within the reach of most reasonably fit travellers. Some parts are steep, especially the three high passes – one of which reaches an elevation of 4,200m (13,776 ft)! The end is appropriately nicknamed the "Sun Gate," where mist-shrouded views of Machu Picchu prove to all who make it that the climb was undeniably worth it.
The Inca Trail & Lares Trek
Inca Trail & Peru Trekking FAQ
Many travellers interested in trekking the Inca Trail have questions about the experience and the permit process. We've answered a few of the more common ones here.View all Lares Trek FAQsView all Inca Trail FAQs
Most popular questions
Can I obtain my own Inca Trail permit?
Only tour operators like G Adventures can acquire permits. Tour operators are subject to thorough annual inspections by the government agencies that govern the Inca Trail.
Why do I need a permit?
Before permits were introduced, there were no regulations and many trekkers camped wherever they pleased, used the ruins as latrines, and generally made a mess of the place. In 2002, Inca Trail regulations were introduced to protect the site and the surrounding ecosystem. These regulations restrict the number of annual visitors and prevent undocumented trekkers from hiking the Trail.
How are permits secured?
We've been running trips here for years, and as the world's largest Inca Trail operator, we have an established set of protocols to best secure your permit. With years of experience, our Cusco-based team is on hand to book and collect your permit in person. This means that as soon as your permit is confirmed, your spot on the Trail is confirmed. Book with confidence!
How long has G Adventures been trekking the Inca Trail?
We've been bringing travellers to the Inca Trail for over 15 years. Because we run our own treks with our own staff and equipment, we can ensure our porters are treated fairly and that the quality of our food and gear is always top notch. Our groups enjoy the best adventure possible and are afforded plenty of time to bond before and after the trek. Each itinerary is planned to give you the best possible experience.
The G Difference
The best of everything
On-trip meals are prepared from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Our high-quality tents and camping gear are set up and maintained by our support staff, freeing you up to get the most out of your experience.
Unmatched experience
We are the single largest tour operator on the Inca Trail, helping well over 10,000 travellers trek the Inca Trail every year.
Embedded experts
All tours are led by skilled staff recruited from local communities and employed directly by us. Every trip is managed and equipped from our dedicated operations base in Cuzco.
Local commitment
All our guides, porters, support staff and cooks work under the region's best employment conditions and are fairly compensated for their efforts.
Exclusive departures
Other companies pool different travellers together to maximize profits. All of our departures are exclusive; everyone in your group will be one of our travellers. We guarantee it.
Visit the Women's Weaving Co-op
Meet the women of the Sacred Valley and learn about the stages of the weaving process that's been handed down to them through generations, then try it out for yourself.
Trek Peru without a permit
Sometimes it's difficult to obtain an Inca Trail permit, especially during the peak season. But there's no need to push back your Peru trekking plans. There are several other trails that Peru has to offer, all beautiful, scenic, and challenging!
The Lares Trek
An amazing three-day trek through the mountains and communities surrounding the Sacred Valley with views of the snow-capped Cordillera de Vilcanota range and ending with a spectacular train ride and guided tour of Machu Picchu.View Lares tours
The Huayhuash circuit
A challenging eight-day trek through the high altitude region of Huayhuash, featuring towering snow-topped peaks and considered by many to be the prettiest hiking destination in an already gorgeous country.View Huayhuash tour
Salkantay Trek
