    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.

    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.

  Asked on December 26th, 2025

  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.

    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?

    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.

    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?
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2025

    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.

  Asked on November 13th, 2025

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

  Tour Details
  • 

    The Dragon TripOperator•Written November 2025

    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.

    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.
