      The trek consists of 11KM and is roughly 4-5 hours of hiking. Hiking starts at 9am on this day. Your trek will take you to about 2700 M above sea level. Hiking will be on uneven ground with portions of incline and decline.

  • L

    Leanne

    Asked on January 29th, 2025

    I would like to understand better the difference between this tour Journeys: Explore Machu Picchu National Geographic Journeys and The Machu Picchu Adventure tour

    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      The main difference is the accommodation. National Geographic Journeys style tours have nicer hotels and a few more included activities as well as an included arrival transfer. Both are great trips but if you wanted a bit nicer accommodation then the Explore Machu Picchu would be the better option.

      It is mandatory for all travelers to have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance that covers medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and repatriation to their home country. The combined coverage should be at least USD 200,000. We recommend upgrading to an all-inclusive policy that includes cancellation and interruption to protect your investment.
