Important remarks

- Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in Peru.

- To reconfirm services at the destination, please send us your passport details within 24 hours of booking.

- Generally in Peru the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- There's a limit of visitors per day for Machu Picchu and for Huayna Picchu. That's why it's important to have the details required for buying tickets as far in advance as possible (full passenger name, passport number, date of birth, and nationality), as the only way of guaranteeing admission is by buying these tickets. If we do not have the passport data from the date of booking confirmation, entry to Machu Picchu is not guaranteed.

- The order of the itinerary may be altered for logistical reasons, without prior notice, but no scheduled trips will be cancelled (except in the case that adverse weather conditions prevent its realisation).

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Prices are calculated based on admission fees to the sights as of the date of publication. If there is an increase in these prices, you will be promptly informed.

- If you are a person with reduced mobility, please contact us to confirm the suitability of the trip.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
