Questions before you go
Clear answers for planning this tour.
Can children join this tour?
Yes, children are welcome. We adapt the pace, guides and activities for families, and every service is private, so the journey moves at your family's rhythm.
Is this tour private?
Yes. All transport, guides, boats and excursions are private and exclusively for your group.
How do you handle altitude?
The route climbs gradually from the coast to Arequipa, Colca and Lake Titicaca before Cusco, so your body acclimatizes naturally before Rainbow Mountain and the Inca Trail.
What is luxury camping on the Inca Trail?
Spacious tents with real beds and bedding, a private dining tent, a private toilet tent, hot water and gourmet meals prepared by your private chef.
Will I see condors?
The Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint offers excellent chances to see Andean condors, especially in the morning. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Is Rainbow Mountain included?
Yes, on Day 12 as a private excursion. It reaches about 5,000 m (16,400 ft), and by then you will be well acclimatized.
How far in advance should I book?
Inca Trail permits sell out months ahead, so we recommend booking at least 6 months in advance. The trail is closed every February.
How do I confirm my booking?
A 50% deposit confirms your journey. The balance is paid in cash upon arrival in Cusco.
