Important information

Remember that the altitude is a greater effort for daily tasks and can cause altitude sickness, so it is very important to arrive in Cuzco at least one day before and not to exert yourself physically, eat lightly, drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages. This tour requires physical effort, as you walk for two hours at an altitude of over 5000 meters, so it is not recommended for people with heart problems, children under 12 years old and pregnant women. 

In case there is availability, those who wish to do the two-hour horseback riding tour can do it for an additional cost.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation! You can cancel this tour and you'll receive 100% refund of the amount paid if you cancel more than 48 hours in advance. After this time, or in case you do not show up, no refunds will be given.

Cuzco is the main tourist city in Peru and is very well-connected. If your starting point is Lima, you can arrive by bus (24 hours travel time) or take a one-hour flight. 

If you arrive from Arequipa, the bus ride takes ten hours. You can also choose to make the trip by plane.
