acceptable (university cards, international youth cards, teachers cards etc). If
you forget your ISIC card or lose it then there is a risk that you may not be
allowed to start the Inca Trail. Many students have been turned away at the
start of the trek this year for not having a valid ISIC card. (Note:

2010)
