CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY
What are the cancellation policies?
Our goal is to be fair and transparent. For cancellations made by the client, the following conditions apply: Cancellation with 30 or more days' notice: 50% of the deposit (initial payment) will be refunded. Cancellation with 29 or fewer days' notice: No refund is available for the deposit or full payment. Non-Refundable Services: Due to their nature, some services such as the Inca Trail, train tickets, and flight tickets are not eligible for a refund under any circumstances once issued.
Force Majeure: We will not issue refunds for interruptions or cancellations due to weather conditions, natural disasters, strikes, pandemics, or other events beyond our control. In these cases, we will work with you to reschedule services where possible.

We recommend bringing a medium or small backpack with essential items. At Machu Picchu, if you have larger luggage, you may leave it at the entrance and collect it at the end, or coordinate with your guide regarding where and how to store your belongings during the visit.
What happens if I miss the return train due to an unforeseen event?
We always recommend travel insurance. Train tickets cannot be reprogrammed within 24 hours of departure, so you would need to purchase a new ticket (either in Aguas Calientes or from Cusco). As your agency, we will provide all necessary assistance to manage the situation.
Can I choose the circuit or entry time for Machu Picchu?
No, the circuit cannot be chosen. However, depending on ticket availability at the time of your booking, we prioritize purchasing the most complete entry ticket.

We recommend checking official availability at: https://tuboleto.cultura.pe/

Yes, but you must communicate your dietary requirements at least 48 hours in advance so the restaurant can prepare a suitable alternative.
Is the tour suitable for people with reduced mobility?
It is not recommended. The tour involves walking on uneven stone paths and steps with steep slopes. If you have a medical condition, please inform us when booking to evaluate possible adaptations.
What should I do if I get separated from the group during the group tour?
On group tours, your guide will provide you with an emergency contact number at the start. If you get lost, call that number immediately or head to a main exit or the park ranger's post for assistance.

Amazing Trek with Sergio!
We had such a fantastic experience with Sergio on the Salkantay trek! His deep respect for Pachamama really shone through and helped us to connect with the land we walked. He led us in guided meditation and offerings to Pachamama at different points along the trek, allowing us to slow down and fully absorb the energy around us. Thank you Sergio for an amazing experience, you made it truly unforgettable.

A wonderful trek with Sergio!
Sergio is a wonderful guide! We went on the 5 day/4 night Sallantay trek with him and it was an amazing experience. We were on a group tour and right away he made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable with one other, and it made the journey all the better to be hiking with our “trail family”. He shared Inca history with us and showed us some local customs as well—we particularly enjoyed the stories about the coca leaves as well as his deep respect for the Pachamama (Mother Earth). It was apparent from day one that Sergio’s main goal for the entire trek was to make sure everyone enjoyed the experience and he definitely delivered. He made sure to point out items of interest along the trail and had answers ready for questions anyone had, and even organized an impromptu soccer game at one of the rest areas! Machu Picchu is incredible on its own, but once we arrived it was soon clear that the experience was made even better by having Sergio guide us through the ruins and explain the history and architecture to us. We had some varying fitness levels in our group, but Sergio was able to make the whole group feel included for the entire trek. His style of guiding allowed everyone to hike at their own pace while still feeling like they were safe and part of the guided group through his in-depth knowledge of the trail system and strategic waiting/meet-up points on the trail. In addition to his guiding skills, Sergio is really just a cool guy and we immensely enjoyed chatting with him on the trails and hanging out with him at the campsites each night. I absolutely recommend Sergio as a guide to anyone visiting Cusco or the surrounding area—you will not regret it!

Salkantay Trek with Sergio
I did the Salkantay Trek with Sergio, and my group and I had an amazing time with him. He was great company, knew so much about the wildlife, the culture and the history, and was a very experienced and fun guide! The Salkantay trek was the highlight of my trip to Peru! I would always do it again with Sergio as guide - it was an unforgettable experience.

My boyfriend and I joined the Salkantay Trek with Sergio who was an amazing, fun and experienced guide! The trek and Machu Picchu were absolutely breathtaking and Sergio’s knowledge and passion about the route and history of the area really added to the experience.We were fortunate to be with a great group of people, but Sergio made it so special and this trek was definitely a highlight of our trip to South America! We’d highly recommend going with Sergio for an unforgettable experience. We’d love to visit Peru again and when we do we’ll definitely be in touch with Sergio!! 🫶🏼

Amazing Backpacking Trip – Highly Recommend Sergi!
We did an overnight backpacking trip through the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu with our guide, Sergi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. My boyfriend and I went with four of our best friends, and Sergi made the entire journey seamless, comfortable, and so enjoyable.He was incredibly knowledgeable about the trail, the history, and the area, which made the trek even more meaningful. One of our friends experienced altitude sickness during the hike, and Sergi was so thoughtful and attentive. He not only made sure they were safe but also arranged horses so they could continue the journey and not miss out. That level of care really stood out to us.Throughout the trip, Sergi was kind, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable. Everything was well organized, and we always felt supported. This trek was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.I would highly recommend Sergi to anyone considering this trip—he truly went above and beyond to make it an incredible and memorable experience.
