Frequently asked questions
How do I book a tour?
Send us a WhatsApp message or an email with the tour, date and number of travelers. We answer in English, confirm availability and send you the payment options. You can also book online on our booking page (in Spanish).
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes. Our tours include pickup from your hotel in Cusco (historic center). The pickup time is shown on each tour.
How can I deal with the altitude in Cusco?
Cusco is at 3,400 m (11,150 ft). Rest on your first day, drink plenty of water, eat light and try coca tea. Leave the high-altitude hikes (Rainbow Mountain, Humantay) for your second or third day.
When should I book the Inca Trail?
Inca Trail permits are limited and sell out, especially from May to September. We recommend booking several months in advance. The Salkantay Trek is a great alternative with no permit limits.
What is the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico)?
It is a combined ticket for many sites in and around Cusco (Sacsayhuamán, Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Moray and more). It is not included in some tours; each tour page tells you what is included.
