Frequently Asked Questions

The Wonders of Peru tour typically combines the country's iconic destinations into an organized itinerary for travelers: Lima (City Tour of the Historic Center, Miraflores, and sometimes Barranco), flight to Cusco, acclimatization time, archaeological visits (Sacsayhuaman and surrounding areas), excursion to the Sacred Valley (Pisac and/or Ollantaytambo), and a tourist train experience to Aguas Calientes to visit Machu Picchu with a local Spanish-speaking guide. Depending on the season and availability, optional activities such as Huayna Picchu, culinary experiences, or extra days may be added. The exact program, schedules, and hotels are confirmed upon booking. It's an ideal package for cultural tourism, Andean nature, and photography.

Typically, the tour package includes: airport-hotel transfers, tourist-class or higher accommodations (depending on the option chosen), breakfasts, guided tours and excursions in Spanish, entrance fees to the main attractions, tourist train and bus tickets to Machu Picchu, and assistance during the trip. It usually does not include: international (and sometimes domestic) flights, some meals (lunches/dinners), drinks, tips, personal expenses, travel insurance, optional activities (e.g., Huayna Picchu), and high-season surcharges. Review the tour operator's terms and conditions to confirm exactly which services, rates, taxes, and policies apply. This will help you optimize your travel budget and avoid unexpected costs during your trip.

The typical duration of this tour in Peru varies depending on the package, but it usually covers several days to enjoy Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu at a leisurely pace. Departures are available year-round. The dry season (approximately May to September) offers better weather for light trekking and photography, although peak season means higher demand and prices. During the rainy season (November to March), there are fewer crowds and lush green landscapes. The tour can be operated in a small group or as a private service, depending on your preference and availability. Check guaranteed dates, availability, and the possibility of adding extra nights to customize your travel itinerary and optimize connection times.

This is a moderately challenging tour, with hikes through archaeological sites and up staircases. Cusco is located at approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, the Sacred Valley slightly lower, and Machu Picchu around 2,430 meters. It is recommended to acclimatize for 24–48 hours, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and heavy meals, and consider Andean herbal teas. If you have heart or respiratory conditions, consult your doctor before your trip and purchase travel insurance. Bring comfortable, non-slip shoes, sunscreen, a lightweight raincoat, and trekking poles with rubber tips (if you use them). The local guide will adjust the pace of the tour to suit travelers, prioritizing safety, rest, and enjoyment of the cultural heritage.

Booking is usually done online with email confirmation and voucher issuance. A prepayment is common to secure train seats and Machu Picchu entrance; the balance is due before departure according to the operator's terms and conditions. Credit cards are accepted, and bank transfers are sometimes accepted. Cancellation policies vary by timeframe; please note that some third-party services (Machu Picchu entrance fees, train tickets) may be non-refundable or subject to penalties. Date changes are subject to availability and supplier fees. We recommend purchasing travel insurance with cancellation coverage for justified reasons for added peace of mind.
