Peru Tours & Inca Trail Tours
with Local Experts

We recommend booking tours to Machu Picchu at least 3 to 4 months in advance to ensure the best routes and entry times.

Permits for the 4-day Classic Inca Trail sell out quickly (in some cases, up to 6 months in advance).

Similarly, train tickets to Machu Picchu and tickets to specific circuits such as Huayna Picchu have limited availability and also sell out quickly.

Yes, Peru is generally safe for tourists, especially in major destinations like Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Arequipa. However, like any travel destination, you should take standard precautions: keep valuables secure, use official taxis or transport arranged by your tour operator, and avoid walking alone in unlit areas late at night.

The official currency of Peru is the Peruvian sol (PEN). Although most hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies in tourist destinations such as Lima and Cusco accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), and US dollars are widely accepted in many tourist areas, it is still important to carry cash in soles. Small souvenir shops, local markets, rural communities, purchasing water or snacks during excursions, and tipping guides or porters often require cash. There are many ATMs available in both Lima and Cusco, so withdrawing money is easy.

Citizens from the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and New Zealand generally do not need a visa for tourism stays of up to 90 days. You simply need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry. However, please always check the latest requirements with your local Peruvian consulate before traveling.

While the airport experience, car service, tour guides, meals, etc. would be the same, the main difference among tour categories is the hotel standard (Economy: 3-star, Deluxe: 4-star, Luxury: 5-star). However, since we do customized packages, every item could be flexible to be customized/upgraded to fit clients' personal standard.

There’s no definite answer to this as there are many options. The Inca Trail is the most popular and needs to be booked months in advance as there are only a certain number of spots each day. The best alternative trek is considered to be Salkantay, which offers a real adventure and fantastic scenery. Inca Jungle is great for those seeking a thrill and Lares is a top option if you want a quieter and more rural experience. If you have a lot of time and want to experience two incredible Inca sites, you can opt for the Choquequirao trek.

The best way to prevent altitude sickness in Cusco is to be prepared. During your first 2 days you should take things easy. This means you shouldn’t take part in any strenuous activity. You should rest a lot and drink plenty of water. Alcohol and smoking isn’t a good idea as it can agitate you and make you feel a lot worse.
