We will explore the impressive streets of Lima and see the most striking landscapes of the oasis and the sea lions of the coast. We will visit wineries to learn how wine and pisco are made, and the impressive archaeological sites of Cusco. We will see the circular terraces of Moray that look like giant amphitheatres — the Incas used them as laboratories to recreate different climates and grow jungle and coastal plants in the highlands. We will hike among the imposing mountains of the Ausangate range and walk beside more than 3,000 white salt pans that shine under the sun, an incredible landscape where salt water has flowed from the mountain since Inca times.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book the tour?

We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally 3 to 4 months in advance, especially during high season, holidays and peak dates. This allows us to secure, subject to availability, the entrance tickets, transport, accommodation and other services included in the programme.

Can I do the tour without a travel agency?

No. Some services require entrance tickets or permits bought in advance, or hiring authorised operators. We recommend checking the specific conditions of the programme before visiting on your own.

What is the best time of year to travel?

The dry season usually offers more stable weather, better suited to outdoor activities. However, our programmes run for most of the year, always subject to weather conditions, availability and the rules of the relevant authorities.

How difficult is the tour?

The difficulty level is moderate: the tour combines vehicle transfers with walks of different lengths and intensity. Please consider your physical condition before taking part.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes. We recommend valid travel insurance that covers medical assistance, emergencies, cancellations and, if needed, adventure activities. Each traveller should choose insurance that fits their own needs and circumstances.

How many people are in the group?

Group size can vary from 10 to 15 people, depending on the travel date, availability and the programme booked. If you would like a more personalised experience, we also offer private service, subject to availability and service conditions.

What happens if the tour is cancelled due to the weather?

The safety of our travellers is our top priority. If weather conditions put the tour at risk, our team will assess the situation and, following the authorities' instructions and each service's policies, will offer the available alternatives, which may include rescheduling, changing the itinerary or another solution according to the booking conditions.
