FAQs

Cusco can be visited year-round, but if you want to travel at the best time, we recommend going between April and October, as the probability of rain during those months is low, making the mountains look more majestic and bathed in sunshine.

The tour is offered as a shared service, so the groups are made up of people of different ages and physical abilities who walk at their own pace. Any proposed changes to the itinerary will be made by the guide after consulting with all participants.

– To ensure we adhere to the itinerary, the maximum grace period for starting the trip is 15 minutes.

– Seats in the van will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and you must return to the same seat you occupied at the start of the tour.

How far in advance can I make a reservation?

At least 3 months before the scheduled travel date and/or subject to availability of tickets on the Inca Trail Circuit and Machu Picchu Circuit 2, or 4 months in advance if your arrival date falls during peak season in Cusco (April to November).
