FAQ

When is the best time to travel to Peru for this itinerary?

This route can be enjoyed year-round, but the best months are from April to November, when the weather is drier in both the Andes and the Amazon. November to March is the rainy season, especially in Cusco and Puno, though the rainforest remains lush and vibrant.

Is this itinerary suitable for all travelers?

Yes. This program is designed for travelers who enjoy nature, culture, and light-to-moderate walking. Some high-altitude locations (Cusco, Sacred Valley, Puno) may require taking it slow, but we include a gradual acclimatization process to help you adapt comfortably.

What kind of accommodations can I expect?

We work with comfortable, well-reviewed hotels and eco-lodges, combining nature, authenticity, and reliability. Amazon lodges are rustic yet cozy, designed to respect the natural environment while offering a safe and enjoyable stay.

Are flights included in the package?

Domestic flights (Lima–Cusco–Puerto Maldonado and Juliaca–Lima) are not included, but we can assist you in booking them with competitive fares and convenient schedules.

Do I need a visa to travel to Peru?

Most travelers from North America, Europe, and South America do not need a visa for tourism stays of up to 90 days. Check your country’s requirements before traveling.

Is altitude a problem on this itinerary?

Some destinations like Cusco (3,350 m) and Puno (3,800 m) are located at high altitude. Mild symptoms are normal. We recommend hydrating well, resting on arrival, and avoiding heavy meals on the first day. We’ve structured the trip to acclimatize gradually before reaching the highest altitudes.

Can I customize my tour itinerary?

We understand that each traveler has unique preferences. While our tours are thoughtfully designed, we can discuss options for customization. Contact our team, and we’ll work together to create a personalized itinerary that suits your interests.

What should I pack for this trip?

Bring original passport, comfortable walking shoes, warm layers for the Andes, light clothing and insect repellent for the Amazon, a rain jacket, sunscreen, hat, flashlight, and reusable water bottle. A small daypack is ideal for Machu Picchu.

Is Machu Picchu entrance guaranteed?

Yes. All Machu Picchu entrances and train tickets are reserved in advance to ensure availability and a smooth experience. You will receive your exact entry time before the tour.

Is this itinerary family-friendly?

Absolutely. Nature activities, cultural experiences, wildlife watching, and scenic train rides make this a wonderful journey for families, including children and teenagers.
