Itinerary Disclaimer: Even though we have a detailed itinerary, changes can be made by your guides, due to weather or safety reasons. Please also note that none of the wildlife sightings mentioned on the itinerary are guaranteed.

Visas and Passports: Make sure you check your visa and passport validity and requirements per country. It is important your passport is valid for at least 6 months before your travel.

Accommodation: We strive to use small and charming places that are unique and provide stellar service.

Single Supplement Costs: Generally, apply to solo travelers who do not have a roommate to share accommodation with.

Transportation: Driving time can take more than expected in Peru, as it is a country with roads meandering through the Andes mountains. We assure your comfort during transit no matter the size of the group.

Gear: We always make sure our guests have top of the line gear from well-known and reputable international brands as we understand that the best gear gives extra confidence to our travelers.

Level of Activity: This trip is considered as 3 out of 5. No prior experience is required and your guides will always brief you about safety and proper use of gear on every leg of the trip. Biking and trekking will take place on varying terrain of dirt and rock. There will be a transport support for the majority of the activities in the case that someone wants to take a break or just wants to relax.

Weather and Elevation: This is a high-altitude expedition across the Peruvian Andes, where the climate is defined by two primary seasons: the Dry Season (May to October) and the Rainy Season (November to April). • Dry Season (May - Oct): Characterized by consistently sunny days and very cold nights, with temperatures in Cusco (approx. 11,152 ft / 3,399 m) dropping near or below freezing. This season offers the clearest visibility for the high-altitude trek to Rainbow Mountain (over 17,060 ft / 5,200 m), where temperatures are always frigid. • Rainy Season (Nov - Apr): Features warmer days and milder nights, but with frequent, often heavy, rain showers. The landscape is lush and green, though visibility can be reduced by cloud cover and fog, especially in the mornings. • Machu Picchu (approx. 7,972 ft / 2,430 m) is warmer year-round, but still experiences this seasonal pattern. Be prepared for dramatic temperature swings and dress in layers, as weather can change rapidly at these varied elevations regardless of the time of year.

Sustainability: We do our best to not produce any trash; we believe that recycling is not enough so we try to avoid using any plastic or materials that pollute our environment. Every day we work towards being a zero-waste tour operator and our staff is well trained to leave the least impact possible in our service areas. We also work with local indigenous communities in the different regions. By doing so we are able to teach our guests about the rich culture Ecuador, all the while helping the people preserve their traditions and lands. By working directly with local peoples, we are able to create a sustainable touristic income for the community.

Guides: All our guides have a professional background from the Tourism University; this means they have a degree in guiding, so their knowledge and skills when leading a group are top-notch. Each guide has many years of experience and they all have taken additional courses for other outdoor activities as well as have International First-Aid certifications. On top of all of this, they are all extremely personable and strive to deliver travel experiences of a lifetime.

Health advices: No vaccinations needed for this trip.
