Frequently Asked Questions

This comprehensive tour of Peru typically includes airport-hotel transfers, accommodation in select hotels with breakfast, guided tours in Spanish, entrance fees to main attractions, and assistance throughout the trip. The typical itinerary covers Lima (City Tour), Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes, and the citadel of Machu Picchu. Many programs also include Puno and Lake Titicaca, and sometimes Arequipa and the Colca Canyon. Train tickets to Machu Picchu and bus tickets up are also included, as well as some optional domestic flights. It's an ideal tour package for travelers seeking an organized, safe, and optimized circuit to experience the cultural and scenic wonders of Peru.

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season (approximately May to September), with clearer skies in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu, ideal for excursions and photography. June–August is peak season, so it's advisable to book in advance. The rainy season (November to March) offers fewer tourists and more competitive rates, although occasional rain is possible. On the coast (Lima), the climate is temperate and humid; in the highlands, the days are mild and the nights are cool. Pack layers of clothing, a waterproof jacket, sunscreen, a hat, and hiking boots. Check the weather forecast before your tour to adjust your packing accordingly.

The circuit is suitable for most travelers with a moderate level of fitness. It includes urban walks, sections with stairs at archaeological sites, and uneven terrain. The altitude in Cusco is around 3,400 m and in Puno around 3,800 m; Machu Picchu is at a lower altitude (approximately 2,430 m). We recommend arriving rested, staying well hydrated, avoiding alcohol and heavy meals for the first few days, and considering Andean herbal teas or preventative medication after consulting a doctor. Allow 1–2 days for acclimatization if possible. Wear comfortable shoes, use folding trekking poles if needed, and maintain a relaxed pace. The tour operator can adjust schedules and arrange private transfers for your comfort.

Generally included are ground transfers, local Spanish-speaking guides, entrance fees to sites visited, train ticket to Machu Picchu, round-trip bus fare, and accommodation with breakfast. International flights, some lunches and dinners, drinks, tips, and personal expenses are usually not included. Domestic flights, train upgrades (e.g., panoramic class), additional nights, or special experiences may be quoted as extras. Check baggage restrictions for the train to Machu Picchu (usually only one small item is allowed). We recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers medical assistance, cancellation, and delays. Local taxes and fees may vary depending on the season and fare type selected.

Your reservation is confirmed with a deposit and the submission of your personal information as it appears in your passport, which is necessary to issue tickets to Machu Picchu and train tickets. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your trip. Many countries do not require a tourist visa for short stays, but please check requirements based on your nationality. Change and cancellation policies vary by provider (trains, entrance fees, and domestic flights may be non-refundable or subject to penalties). We recommend travel insurance with coverage for cancellations due to justifiable reasons. You will receive electronic vouchers, a detailed itinerary, and 24/7 on-site assistance for any eventuality.
