Frequently Asked Questions

This organized tour typically combines the must-see destinations of Argentina and Peru in an itinerary of 10 to 14 days, depending on dates and availability. It usually includes Buenos Aires (city tour and optional tango), Iguazu Falls (Argentine side and, if the traveler wishes, the Brazilian side), Lima (historical and gastronomic), Cusco and the Sacred Valley, culminating with an excursion to Machu Picchu. The program includes transfers, domestic flights, guided tours in Spanish, and free time to enjoy at your own pace. See your selected departure for day-by-day details, domestic flight schedules, hotel categories, and optional activities included in the tour package.

The tour package typically includes accommodation with breakfast, airport transfers, tours and guided visits in Spanish, and, depending on the chosen rate, domestic/regional flights and main entrance fees (e.g., tours in Iguazu Falls and access to Machu Picchu by train and bus, where applicable). It generally does not include international flights, meals not mentioned, tips, personal expenses, travel insurance, or optional excursions. The exact list of included/excluded services may vary depending on the date, hotel category, and local provider. We recommend reviewing the tour's "Includes/Does Not Include" section, as well as baggage allowances, check-in times, and change policies.

For a comfortable trip with fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons (March–May and September–November) are usually ideal. In Buenos Aires and Iguazu, the Southern Hemisphere summer (December–February) is hot and humid; in the Peruvian Andes (Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu), the dry season predominates from May to September, with sunny days and cool nights. The rainy season in the Peruvian highlands is typically from November to March. July–August and late December are peak seasons, so it's advisable to book flights, trains to Machu Picchu, and hotels in advance. Pack accordingly: layers, a lightweight rain jacket, sunscreen, and hiking boots.

Traveling to Argentina and Peru requires a valid passport; visa requirements depend on your nationality, so you should check with the consulates or embassies before purchasing your package. Travel insurance that covers medical assistance, cancellations, and lost luggage is highly recommended. Vaccinations are not usually required for this tour, but may be recommended depending on your itinerary and country of origin; consult your doctor. Be aware of the altitude in Cusco and the Sacred Valley (over 3,000 m): plan an acclimatization day, stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity at the beginning, and consider preventive medication if your doctor recommends it. Inform the tour operator of any pre-existing medical conditions.

The price of the Essential Argentina and Peru tour varies depending on the season, how far in advance you book, hotel category (tourist, superior, or luxury), room type, and availability of domestic flights and trains. A deposit is usually required to confirm your reservation, and the balance is due before departure. Payment methods typically include credit card, bank transfer, and, in some markets, installment plans. Change and cancellation policies depend on the tour operator and suppliers (airlines, hotels, train to Machu Picchu), and penalties may apply depending on the date. We recommend purchasing cancellation insurance and requesting a detailed final quote including taxes.
