    • Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written June 2025

      The itinerary involves activities such as walking and climbing, particularly around Machu Picchu, so a reasonable level of fitness will be beneficial. If these activities don't align with your preferences, we'd be happy to help you consider alternative options. A relaxing river cruise across the Rhine or Danube might be an excellent choice for a more leisurely experience.
