  • F

    Frank

    Asked on July 21st, 2026

    I'm interested in trekking in Peru and aware that the Inca Trail permits are sold out. Could you please provide more details about the alternative trek available on this tour, including the duration and the necessary equipment for the trek?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      Please see below details of our alternative trails as the Inca permits are sold out:

      1. Lares Trek Itinerary: Hike through the Sacred Valley, a fascinating and challenging 3-day, 2-night trip ending in Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. This more "off the beaten path" trek takes in much of the Inca's most sacred and important countryside and many monuments, which chances to encounter locals and local wildlife. All transportation, accommodation, guide services etc. will be included.

      2. Machu Picchu By Train: Spend 2 days in Cusco with included activities, then travel by train to Aguas Calientes, where we overnight. Next morning take the bus to the Machu Picchu entrance and rendezvous with the hikers at the ancient ruins.

    Jerry

    Asked on August 2nd, 2025

    I'm interested in this itinerary. We are a group of four seniors, all around 60 years old, and we are not able to do a 3-day trek. Is there any alternative option available?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      You are able to select the 'Machu Picchu by Train' option and opt out of the hike on this tour. You will have more time in Cusco and will take the train and a bus up to Machu Picchu and will rejoin anyone in your group who hiked there.

    • J

      Jerry

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      I would like to ask if this trip includes the entrance ticket to Machu Picchu — is it guaranteed that we will be able to go inside and visit it?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      It depends what departure date you are interested in, as there are limited Machu Picchu tickets available each day. Currently the first available date with Machu Picchu tickets is 23AUG25. However this tour date would be on request as we are so close to departure. This means it is not an instant confirmation - it would take 3-4 business days to hear back once payment has been made to start the request process.

    • J

      Jerry

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      Then I can arrive around the end of August, but I'd like to ask if there are any tours that include a visit to the Amazon—mainly covering Machu Picchu and the Amazon.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      We have this tour that includes Machu Picchu & The Amazon.

      Rainbow Mountain will be factored in and takes place mid tour, so there is no need to book another night.

    What is the physical difficulty level of the hiking on this tour?

    Tour Details

    Jade

    Asked on February 20th, 2025

    What is the climate in the month of July? What is the camping accommodations like?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025

      MAY-SEPT is considered the high season in Peru where the weather is ideal for trekking and camping (Peru has a wet and dry season for weather and JULY will be their dry season). The days will be pleasant but mornings/evenings will be very cold in the Andes. About Accommodation: Please note that hot water shortages and power outages can be fairly common in Peru (even in upgraded hotels and private homes). We appreciate your patience and understanding that these occurrences are outside of our control. 3 Nights Camping: If your trip includes the Inca Trail or Lares Trek, we use three-person tents to accommodate two travellers, leaving room for your sleeping mats and sleeping bags (not provided, but available for rent). There are a few places along the trail with permanent (very basic) toilet facilities and we also set up private toilet tents for the use of G travellers.

  • L

    Laurent

    Asked on February 1st, 2025

    Will I be escorted by a guide during the trek?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025

      Yes, the trek is guided, and the guides will adjust the pace based on the slowest member of the group to ensure everyone's comfort.

    Asked on January 24th, 2025

    Does this tour include international flights?

    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      Our tours do not include international airfare, allowing travelers to join us from any location worldwide.

  • M

    Marina

    Asked on November 26th, 2024

    Are there programs where I can visit Peru and Machu Picchu with limited physical condition (2 hours walking, some climbing but not much)? I am 68 years old.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024

      We have tours that visit Machu Picchu via train and spend ~2 hours walking around Machu Picchu, instead of hiking the Inca Trail to get there. This tour, Inca Discovery, can be done with the "Cusco Stay" option instead of the Inca Trail or Lares Trek, which would hike.

    • M

      Marina

      Traveler•Written November 2024

      I would like to do that. Can you tell me about arrangements for flying into Peru and back from BRU airport? I do not want to share a room.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024

      We do not provide airfare just the tour. We do offer the My Own Room option for an additional charge to have a room to yourself.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      The tour includes acclimatization time in higher altitudes. However, individual responses to altitude vary, so consult your doctor if you are concerned.
