    Vicki

    Asked on May 19th, 2026

    The flight from Lima to Cusco on Day 5 is this something I need to book separately from the tour group or is this included? Same with the return to Lima flight on Day 8

    Flights / Transfers
    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      That is right. Flights are not included so yes, you would have to book LIM-CUZ-LIM flights Day 5 & 8

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      Lima-Nazca is 8 hrs by bus one way FYI

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Okay - what does that mean only the worst circuits?

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      The Lima to Nazca that's another option of a flight correct?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      Yes, Pisco airport (PIO), near Paracas has flights over Nazca Lines too saving you Paracas - Nazca - Lima bus but that is US$290 per person payable outside of this platform directly to us.

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      this is a very rushed itinerary. you might want to add a day and just pay the extra nights hotel

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Where would you add the day to make it less rushed

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      In Cusco, absolutely. The itinerary has Cusco City tour the same day you fly LIM-CUZ so you would need an early flight and not have time to acclimate. I'm sorry, this itinerary shouldn't even be on this platform since it is too rushed. Do you have to come in June? Machu Picchu is full and the good circuits are taken.

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Is there better options in Mid July? Or is it same?

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Would you have another tour option you'd recommend if this one is too rushed?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      are you dying to see the Nazca Lines or just trying to find something that looks good? Would you prefer going the Amazon Rainforest for 3 days? It's only a 30 min flight from Cusco then stay in an all inclusive lodge. Nazca is very far. If you want to come in July we will have to get whatever ticket we can then have our guide pay to upgrade your circuit at the park. It is not just you, it is a nightmare.

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Just trying to find something that looks good, the things for us were a bit of exploring of Lima, Machu Picchu, Scared Valley But Machu Picchu was the key thing for us. We have about 6-8 days for holiday. Ideally we'd like to make 25/26 June - 3rd of July work if we can as that works best with work

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      This is a great itinerary, relaxed and more of the best of Cusco and the Sacred Valley. We can get panoramic Machu Picchu tickets and you can pay the guide to upgrade you there. Day 01, June 25: Arr LIMA Private xfer to hotel and overnight Lima Day 02, June 26: Group Lima City Tour. Day 03, June 27: LIM-CUZ flight. Private transfer to downtown hotel. Rest and accimate Day 04: June 28: Group Sacred Valley Tour w/lunch. Overnight Sacred Valley Day 05: June 29: Train to Aguas Calientes (90 min).

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      How much for the tour you've detailed?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      same price as this page lists not including flights and you will have to pay the guide I think US$20 each there to get a better circuit at Machu Picchu

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      and we'll upgrade you to the 5* Crowne Plaza in Lima for your 2 nights there

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      If I want to confirm would I use this payment link? Or since we have built a more custom trip we'd do it different?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      Once you make a downpayment here that will release your email to us and we will send you a detailed itinerary of either of the below. If you want to make any other changes no problem. We will need copies of your passports to secure tickets.

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Can I make a down payment direct through the ILE tours page? Or do I need to use this link through tour radar?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      no sorry you would have to pay on here

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Is the down payment the full amount upfront? When I use the book now button it shows full amount? Just wanting to check

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Also for organising my own flights to and from Cusco / Lima does the time I book the flights matter?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      CUZ-LIM only matters if you have a connection departing LIM, you want a comfortable amount of time to layover. But if you'll be working Lima it doesn't matter. LIM-CUZ just look for the best price

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      I thought you could just make a downpayment. This is the screen after you put in your cc?

    • V

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      Thanks for confirming re the flights. No the payment when I go book - it only shows the full amount $4,150 and says you will be charged this amount

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      ok if you selected June 26 start date then yes 100% is due. If your are booking a few months out then it will give you the option to make a downpayment

      What is the cost of upgrading to airfare to Nazca (Piaco Airport) and the cost for upgrading to all private tours, except for Lima?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      The Pisco-Nazca-Pisco Aerial tour is US$290 per person and saves many hours in the bus. To upgrade to private Cusco City Tour and Private Sacred Valley Tour w/lunch it is only US$180 per person more. A private car from Lima-Paracas-Lima is US$475 more total.

      TravelerWritten April 2022

      If I'm understanding correctly, you are coordinating the trip and booking us on other tours with groups. So for instance, when we travel to the islands, we will with a different group? Do you know how many people may be in that trip?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten April 2022

      Cusco City Tour & Sacred Valley group tours, run daily in English and Spanish and have under 15 people in them or group not too large for 1 guide. The Nazca Aerial Tour planes are small Cessna type aircraft. 4-8 people per plane. Ballestas Island boat tour vessels accommodate 40 passengers.

    Ahmed

    Asked on February 24th, 2022

    I'm interested in the Lima, Paracas, Nazca, Cusco, Machu Picchu tour. I understand it's a group tour, correct? Quick question; on day 5, there's a flight Cusco - Lima in the morning. I assume it's NOT included in the package so any suggestion on where to purchase the ticket? And also, for what approximate time - leaving from Cusco, should I purchase it?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten February 2022

      The tour package does not include flights, and the flights to Cusco we have practically all day, you can book in the morning. You need to buy your tickets in advance with previous reservation, I do not recommend buying at the airport, you might not find spaces and miss the tours.

    • A

      Ahmed

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      Can I go to the airport in the morning and buy the ticket to Cusco without any previous reservation? What happens if the flights are all booked up? I don't want to miss a day of my tour. How big is the group?

    • ILE ToursOperatorWritten March 2022

      You shouldn't buy tickets in the airport but should reserve like you would for any flight. We can help with airfares. No need for you to be searching for flights. Our itinerary simply says flights are not included. We can help with flights. Latam.com is the place to get LIM-CUZ-LIM flights. Yes, very nice group tours are included.
