I am 58 and very fit and young looking. I would like very much like to do this tour, is that cool?

Also how will flights be to cover this tour in March 27?

We are a couple age 36 & 39, fit & healthy but we have limited time to explore SA. We are wondering if we can start from Lima instead of Medellin & do the alternative non-trek for Macchu Picchu?

This trip doesn't visit Lima so you would need to meet us in Cusco for the first day in Peru.

Is it very physical with the hikes etc? Can I change things in it or is it all to be done as is? Is there much free time throughout? Is it all early starts? I would like to enjoy some of the nightlife.

I still want to do Machu Picchu but I was wondering if that could be done as a day trip

I'm going to be 65 in April. Will this tour not allow me to go?

This trip is very physically demanding as it involves a lot of trekking. If you have a good level of fitness, don't mind camping or hostels and can walk in high altitudes for 4 days, we might consider you for this trip. We also have the age range in place to set the overall group dynamic. The guests that join this trip will expect to be with a younger age demographic.

I am interested in visiting Bolivia, Peru and Colombia taking my time over 3 months if possible in July, August, September. I will be 63 years old in 2026 and will be pre-retired. I speak Spanish and am interested in sharing with locals, history, literature, painting and nature. I am more interested in homestay accommodation than hotels. I would like to know if you can adapt a specific circuit for me with the necessary time (3 months) and propose a quote.

All of our trips are guided in English. While it sounds like you've got an incredible trip planned, we wouldn't be able to help create a 3 month trip for you. This trip is set as a 21-day trip and can only be adjusted to a private tour for a minimum group size of 4 people. We could potentially accommodate you on the 21-day trip as a group trip if this is something you're interested in.

Do you have a similar tour that accepts an age range beyond 55+?

While we have the recommended age range in place, we can sometimes be flexible with this provided you complete our tour suitability form. The form is intended to help you understand the type of trip you'll be joining and to help us understand if we think you'll be a good fit for the trip. Could you confirm your date of birth for the 2 of you too?

Is the age restriction for this tour flexible? I am 69 yrs old, but still athletic, play badminton and hike mountains regularly. I did multiple day trekking in Nepal.

Do Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Chile require visa for US citizens? If yes, do I still have enough time to obtain them for the December trip?

Wondering about the Trekking Alternatives section mentioned in the itinerary. What about info non trekking variant to these days?

There is a non-trekking alternative to our 4-day Andean hike portion of the tour. You can either request this if you don't want to partake in the trek expedition, or we'll default to this variation of the trekking days in the event that permits for both the Inca Trail and the Salkantay Trek are unsecurable. In this iteration of our tour, you'll spend an additional 2 nights in Cusco, followed by a 2-day, 1-night Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. If you're not a fan of tents – this means no camping! On Day 10, we'll also swap the hostel for a hotel the night before you visit Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley.

Where can i found the "Trekking Alternatives" for important information about our route, an alternative route option, plus a non-trekking variant to these days. As i would not expect a four day hike

Our 4-day, 3-night Machu Picchu trek follows the Inca Trail. However, Inca Trail permits are incredibly limited and will typically sell out around 4-6 months in advance of the date. Our first option will always be to secure these permits – however, if these are unavailable, we will work to secure permits for the Salkantay Trek, which is an alternative route to Machu Picchu lasting the same length of time – just following a different route.

Are you able to customize this tour for a private group with my family? We want comfortable accommodation and would like to explore options for 4-6-8 people.

We can help plan a private tour for you! We'll need some details to create an accurate quote, including: daughters' ages, preferred dates, accommodation style, budget, Inca Trail preference, and transport type.

This trip was truly amazing! From beginning to end The Dragon Trip team really took care of us. Before I booked this trip, Morgan from the sales team patiently helped me out with all my questions and doubts. Thanks to his support, I felt confident to actually go through with the booking. Our guide Josh was also an amazing support during the whole trip. He took care of us like a papa bear, such a nice guy with a kind heart! This experience was for me a dream come true. The whole itinerary included so many things that I didn't think it would be possible to do everything in 21 days, but we did! Some days were long with a full program and other days were more relaxed with fewer activities. So it was nicely balanced. I'm happy I did it!Show more

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback and for sharing such great photos, it truly made our day to read! We’re so glad Morgan could support you through the booking process and that your Adventure Leader took such great care of you throughout the trip (the “papa bear” description is perfect!). It’s fantastic to hear that the experience became a dream come true, thank you for trusting us with such a special journey and we hope to see you on another Dragon Trip in the future.

- The Dragon TripOperator•Written February 2026
  A good level of fitness is required for the Inca Trail trek, but if trekking isn't for you, we do have a non-trekking alternative. The itinerary has a balance of activities and free time. Day 1 begins at 9am, so it would be best to arrive a day before the trip begins. You'll definitely have time to enjoy the nightlife! There is a non-trekking alternative to our 4-day Andean hike portion of the tour – you can either request this if you don't want to partake in the trek expedition, or we'll default to this variation of the trekking days in the event that permits for both the Inca Trail and the Salkantay Trek are unsecurable. In this iteration of our tour, you'll spend an additional 2 nights in Cusco, followed by a 2-day, 1-night Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. If you're not a fan of tents – this means no camping! On Day 10, we'll also swap the hostel for a hotel the night before you visit Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley. If you choose (or the tour you're booked onto is operating on) this itinerary, your time in Cusco will be unguided – however, you'll have options to take part in walking tours, a Peruvian cooking class, or a chocolate-making workshop! Cusco is a beautiful, safe place to explore on your own watch, which offers plenty of opportunity for you to get under the skin of this stunning city at a pace that suits you. In addition, our local support team will always be on hand remotely to provide recommendations and assistance.

  This trip is very physically demanding as it involves a lot of trekking. If you have a good level of fitness, don't mind camping or hostels and can walk in high altitudes for 4 days, we might consider you for this trip. We also have the age range in place to set the overall group dynamic. The guests that join this trip will expect to be with a younger age demographic.

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  Im physically fit, however, high altitudes do present challenges in terms of running out of breath quickly and needing to stop frequently. Last summer, I went to Quito, Ecuador and going up the Teleferico and walking on the top was challenging. You mentioned 4 days of trekking, how high is the elevation? Also, I've stayed in hostels before but will I be able to have suitcase with me?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written January 2026
  You'll be reaching heights from 2,400 to 4,000 meters on some days and the majority of towns and cities we visit during the trip are at altitude.

  Just to make you aware, this trip uses multi-bed shared dorms as the standard accommodation with the option to upgrade to a private room within the hostels. And during the Inca Trail you will be camping for 3 nights. For the Inca Trail and Rainbow Mount trek, you should have a good level of fitness. You'll also be at an altitude of over 4,000 meters on the Inca Trail.

  Visa Information for U.S. Citizens: No visa required for Colombia, Peru, Chile. Visa required for Bolivia (approx. US $160). Visas can often be obtained at a Bolivian consulate, at some land borders, or upon arrival at certain airports. Processing typically takes 5–10 business days.

  Just found out a real problem: mountain sickness. I had prior experiences of mountain sickness at altitude above 3500m. I checked the altitude of Machu Picchu, ~2500m, thought no issue. But I was alerted that the passes along the Inca Trail may be higher. Just asked AI, got the answer of >4000m. Even though I hiked a steep mountain climbing 1800m in one day a few months ago, that mountain is lower than 2000m. I doubt I can do the same at >3500m. I better choose to visit by train, unfortunately.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2025
  Machu Picchu is actually at a lower altitude than Cusco, which sits at approximately 3,400m. If you're comfortable with these elevations, you can join the tour with an alternative train option. One possibility is to take it easy in Cusco on a free day to acclimate to the altitude, and then join a shorter Machu Picchu tour separately.

You can either request this if you don't want to partake in the trek expedition, or we'll default to this variation of the trekking days in the event that permits for both the Inca Trail and the Salkantay Trek are unsecurable. In this iteration of our tour, you'll spend an additional 2 nights in Cusco, followed by a 2-day, 1-night Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. If you're not a fan of tents – this means no camping! On Day 10, we'll also swap the hostel for a hotel the night before you visit Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley.

  Our 4-day, 3-night Machu Picchu trek follows the Inca Trail. However, Inca Trail permits are incredibly limited and will typically sell out around 4-6 months in advance of the date. Our first option will always be to secure these permits – however, if these are unavailable, we will work to secure permits for the Salkantay Trek, which is an alternative route to Machu Picchu lasting the same length of time – just following a different route.

  My daughters will be 17 and 19. We prefer second half of June 2026, 3-star hotels with 2 bedrooms, and would like quotes for 4, 6, and 8 people. We prefer scenic train option and potentially a private minivan.
