Is this trip right for you?
verified
This active hiking trip requires a good level of fitness, due to the varied terrain and potentially hot temperatures. Many of the hiking days involve steep hills and lots of steps that you'll need to be able to walk up and down. Walking times vary between three and six hours a day, but the rewards are worth every step.
verified
Some trails will require unexpected maintenance throughout the year, requiring closure of the trail. If that is the case, we will take an alternative trail with similar features, distances and elevation where possible.
verified
Due to the high altitude of the places we visit, some people can suffer altitude sickness, regardless of age, gender or fitness. The maximum elevation visited on the trip is 4030 m at Kinsa Qocha Lake), and the maximum sleeping elevation is 3399 m in Cusco). Please see the 'medical and health information' section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
verified
Visitors are not permitted to explore Machu Picchu without a Machu Picchu guide (not our trip leaders) and must follow set routes within the site. As per visiting regulations all visitors to Machu Picchu must follow a pre-determined circuit within the site as a way to relieve crowding. The circuit-based entrance tickets are available on a first come first serve basis. We will do all that is possible to get everyone traveling in a group on the same route, but be aware that it is possible that members of the same group might be visiting Machu Picchu on a different circuit and not be together during this visit. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted.

Important notes
verified
1. Full passport details are required at the time of booking. These details must match the passport you will travel on. Mismatched details can lead to refusal of entry by the Inca authorities. Delays in providing this information may result in booking fees or changes to your itinerary.
verified
2. We will request an Inca Trail permit for you unless, at time of booking. Fees may apply to changes made after the time of booking, and availability on other options cannot be guaranteed.
verified
3. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
verified
4.The Inca Trail closes in February to allow cleaning and restoration works. If the trek portion of your trip starts in February, you will be automatically booked to hike the Pumamarca Ruins Trail.
verified
5. 1-day Inca Trail permits are highly limited and regulated, and very difficult to secure within 90 days from departure. If we are unable to secure a permit then we will trek to the remote Pumamarca Ruins near Ollantaytambo, then take the train to Aguas Calientes on Day 5 instead.
verified
6. According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations all visitors must follow a pre-determined circuit within the site as a way to relieve crowding. The circuit-based entrance tickets are available on a first come first serve basis. Regardless of the circuit you will enjoy the beauty and grandeur of the site.
