Important information

- Booking policy: 50% deposit and 50% up to 15 days before the trip. Cancellations follow a progressive scale — please consult our team.

Book early to secure Machu Picchu and the best schedules.
Because it includes Machu Picchu, trains, and hotels, this package depends on limited availability — especially during high season.
Our team checks official availability and adjusts the itinerary to your dates. Contact us to confirm.
Common questions about this itinerary.
The hike is moderate, but at a high altitude (~5,000 m). That’s why it’s scheduled for the 4th day, when you’re already acclimatized. Support horses are available for hire on-site.
Yes, in the main destinations (City Tour, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu). Please confirm during booking to guarantee an English-speaking guide.
