Good to know

Frequently asked questions

The questions travelers ask us most, from altitude and timing to permits and packing.

How do I book and pay?

Reserve online or over WhatsApp with a deposit; the balance is due before your tour starts. Payments are encrypted and our team confirms every detail with you before charging anything.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Day tours and Amazon trips can be cancelled up to 48h before for a refund (minus fees). Machu Picchu treks require a non-refundable deposit, because government tickets and Inca Trail permits cannot be refunded or changed.

Do I need a permit for the Inca Trail?

Yes. The Inca Trail needs a government permit that is limited and sells out months in advance; it's non-refundable and non-transferable. The Salkantay Trek needs no permit, so it's much easier to book last-minute.

Inca Trail or Salkantay: which trek is better?

Both finish at Machu Picchu. The Inca Trail is the original stone route past Inca sites (permit required); the Salkantay is higher and wilder, with Humantay Lake and a 4,600 m pass, no permit and more availability. Tell us your dates and we'll help you choose.

Can I visit Machu Picchu in one day?

Yes. Our Machu Picchu Full Day takes the train from Cusco, includes a guided tour of the citadel plus free time, and has you back the same night.

What's included (and not included) in a tour?

Every tour page lists exactly what's included and what isn't. Typically included: professional guide, transport, meals and entrances/permits as stated. Not included: tips, optional add-ons (e.g. Huayna Picchu) and personal gear.

Which languages do your guides speak?

English, Spanish and Portuguese, with full support before, during and after your trip. Just tell us your preference when booking.

Where do tours depart from?

All tours meet at Plaza Regocijo, Cusco. We'll confirm your exact pickup time when you book.

How do I prevent altitude sickness in Cusco?

Spend at least two days in Cusco first, stay well hydrated, eat light, go easy on alcohol and try coca tea. Our guides carry emergency oxygen and are first-aid trained on every trek.

How many days should I acclimatize before a trek?

We recommend a minimum of two full days in Cusco (3,400 m) before any high-altitude trek, and more if you're arriving straight from sea level.

When is the best time to visit Machu Picchu?

The dry season (May–September) has the clearest skies; April and October are quieter shoulder months; November–March is green and less crowded but wetter. Note the Inca Trail closes every February for maintenance.

What are the coldest months in Cusco?

June and July are coldest, with bright dry days but nights that can drop to around 0 °C at altitude, so pack warm layers for the treks.

How high are the Salkantay Pass and the Inca Trail?

The Salkantay Pass reaches about 4,600 m (15,090 ft); the Inca Trail's highest point, Dead Woman's Pass, is about 4,215 m (13,830 ft).

How hard are the treks, and how fit do I need to be?

Our treks are challenging but achievable for anyone with moderate fitness who acclimatizes properly. Prefer something gentler? We also offer shorter treks and full-day tours.

What should I pack for a trek?

Layers for warm days and cold nights, a waterproof jacket, broken-in boots, sun protection, a refillable water bottle and a small daypack. We send a full packing list when you book.

Is trekking with you safe?

Yes. Small groups, first-aid trained guides, emergency oxygen and vetted equipment on every departure, and your safety always comes first.
