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.
verified
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 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!

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. :)
