Explore Peru Through
Meaningful Journeys

We highly recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 to 3 full days before your trek begins. Cusco sits at 3,400m (11,152 ft). Use this time to rest, drink plenty of water, try local coca tea, and take light, easy walks around the city to allow your body to adjust naturally to the altitude.

The dry season (May to October) offers the most reliable weather with sunny days and clear skies, making it ideal for trekking. However, the wet season (November to April) is beautifully green, significantly less crowded, and we operate successfully year-round with proper gear and expert guidance.

No, we do not recommend drinking tap water in Peru. In cities, please purchase bottled water. While on your trek, our team provides unlimited boiled and filtered water at every meal and campsite, so you can safely refill your reusable bottle and reduce plastic waste.

Yes, absolutely. Our expedition chefs are highly trained in preparing delicious, nutritious meals for all dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-intolerant diets. Simply inform us of any restrictions when you book, and we will handle the rest.

Most hotels in Cusco will happily store your extra luggage for free while you are on your trek. Alternatively, you can leave your bags securely locked in our private office in Cusco. We only ask that you pack your trekking duffel bag to not exceed the weight limit specified in your itinerary.

While not strictly mandatory by law, we highly recommend comprehensive travel insurance. Ensure your policy specifically covers high-altitude trekking (up to 4,600m / 15,000ft), emergency medical evacuation, and trip cancellation or interruption.

A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking and purchase non-refundable permits. Cancellations made 45+ days in advance receive a full refund of the remaining balance. Cancellations within 30 days are subject to a 50% fee, and within 15 days are non-refundable due to fixed permit and train costs.
