Is this trip right for you?
This Short Break Adventure is a ‘join in’ group departure, which means you are not accompanied by an Tuuur group leader. Instead, our local representative in each location will fill this role and the configuration of any fellow travellers in the group might change during the trip. This trip will run with a minimum of one person, so you may be joined by other travellers booked on the same date as you, or you may be on your own.
On Day 2, up to 35 people may join you for the day’s activities. The Machu Picchu tour on Day 3 will be for Tuuur travellers only, with a maximum of 16 in the group.
This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health. Please see the Medical and health information section of the Essential Trip Information for more detail.
According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations, all visitors must follow a pre-determined route within the site. This route must be followed in one direction only, and once the guided visit commences exiting and re-entering the site is not permitted. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted. Please refer to the Itinerary for details.

This trip is a bit more chaotic than other Intrepid trips, since it occasionally blends a couple different tours together. But in spite of that, it’s a great tour of some amazing places if you only have a short time in Cusco!

We had Rafael as our guide at Machu Picchu and wow his wealth of knowledge was amazing! He truly has a passion for his work, and even after doing hundreds of this tour, he is still so enthusiastic

Amazing trip! I was a solo traveller on this trip and was very impressed with how well-organized the trip was. I really appreciated the support that was available at all times if I had any questions or concerns from the time of booking to finishing the trip. :)
