  • The times of pick up and arrival are referential, this will depend on the traffic that can be found in the street, the day of the departure our assistant will arrive on time to your hotel, but sometimes the transport could be delayed a few minutes.
  • The clients that live in places of less than 1000 mts of altitude, we recommend that at least they are in Cusco 2 to 3 days to acclimatize before realizing this tour.
  • The region and the towns to visit are from the Andes that are dedicated only to agriculture and livestock, families and children are of scarce economic resources and need much support from visitors, if you had any donation for these families (notebooks, pens, clothes, etc.) would be very grateful.
