Reach Out

Is Airfare Included? What is the best way to get to the trip start location?

No, airfare is not included. This trip begins and ends at the Cusco, Peru airport (CUZ). You should aim to arrive between 8AM to 10AM on Day 1 (Sunday), and depart between 3PM - 5PM on Day 7 (Saturday). Our team will pick you up at the airport in Cusco and drop you off there at the end of the trip. Upon booking, we will send you a complete packet that goes into this and other aspects of your trip in great detail.

Do I need to be in good shape?
This is a very active trip, and fitness or adrenaline enthusiasts will get more than their fill. However, most of the biking is downhill and the steep hike up on Day 3 has a horse lift option. Thus, you do not need to be in great shape. Average or better is fine.

Will I have to be with the group the whole time?

Many people may be reluctant to take a "group tour". Trust us, we understand! We think that the combination of traveling with like-minded other folks, along with not being treated like a tourist at all, makes for a great time. Yes, you can always do a part of a day on your own schedule or go out on your own for dinner, etc, but you will need to arrange and pay for everything on your own.

What are the accommodations like?

All rooms are double or triple rooms, all of them with private in-room bathrooms and hot water 24/7. Your hotel in Ollantaytambo is very nice - bright, sunny, outdoor gardens and lots of space. Spend one night in a jungle ecolodge that everyone loves. And one night in Aguas Calientes, where the hotels are a bit more basic due to no road going to the town, but still nice, clean modern and private baths.

Do I need travel insurance?

While it is not required, we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, and/or theft or accidental damage while traveling. We recommend World Nomads.

How much extra money should I budget?
Figure on $25 a day to eat lunch and dinner at the local restaurants, not including alcoholic beverages, which tend to greatly increase costs so factor that into your budget based on your preferences. Most people like to spend $50-100 on gifts for friends and family - textiles, ceramics, paintings, etc. And maybe a few hundred dollars for discretionary / emergency spending.
