Cancellation Policy: Your money is safe with TourRadar, as we only pay the tour operator after your tour has departed. Please familiarize yourself with the Inkayni Peru Tours payment, cancellation and refund conditions.

Is it safe for a person aged 59 who smokes to do the trek? What happens if someone cannot continue or starts having breathing difficulties at high altitude?

We can provide oxygen, first aid kit, emergency horses, and a highly trained team for the tour. We recommend a shorter Inca Trail option that averages 2400m altitude, which might be more suitable.

Do you still have availability on this tour for 1 person on May 20th? If so, I see there's a room option is for twin room needed another traveller? I'm ok with sharing the room so can I still book the twin room if I'm only booking and traveling by myself?

The entrance to Machu Picchu is sold out for the date mentioned in its entirety, we can offer this tour in mid-July.

Can you enter Machu Picchu with a different kind of ticket?

We can offer you to enter Machu Picchu with a Machu Picchu Mountain ticket, which costs a bit more than the regular included, the extra cost would be USD $35.00 per person.

How do I confirm my booking?

Once you have the details of your booking updated, we need your approval at the top of the page to confirm the update.

Is it possible to confirm the rental of gear such as walking sticks?

Yes, please confirm if you need walking sticks as part of your rental gear, we offer them at different rates depending on the type.

What are the rental costs for trekking poles?

Trekking Poles - highly recommended: $15 USD.

Is a 4 seasons sleeping bag good for -10C?

If your sleeping bag is perfect, the average cost per day is 60 to 80 USD per day between meals and any extra expenses you may have.

I am interested in signing up for the 8 day Cusco & Salkantay Tour. I like that it's fairly strenuous and that the hikers spend much of the time outdoors. Is there a 10 - 12 day tour which would be similar to this one without the Lima stay?

This trip was amazing scenery. The guide Saul was really great and went above and beyond! The cooks and food were excellent. The horsemen were also professional and helpful. Things I have for improving this tour are: there should be a better system for getting clean water. The cooks had to boil water and store in plastic jugs. At times, the water was still warm in the jugs and it’s not healthy to have warm water in plastic. It would help them and hikers if there was a water filter to get clean water. Also, the itinerary should be updated to be more accurate. The last day is listed as a mild 10.5 mile hike. We hiked 16 miles. As there is a bit of a language barrier, it is important for the correct information to be available for planning. Overall, the trip was good due to the guide and workers, but could be really great with better information.Show more
