Your Packing Guide

We suggest keeping your luggage as light as possible, ensuring you can easily carry and manage it through short walks, staircases, or bustling stations. While assistance is typically accessible, there might be occasions—such as navigating airports or train stations—where you’ll handle your luggage independently. A sturdy, lockable wheel suitcase is perfect for this journey. Aim to keep your main luggage around 15 kg, certainly not exceeding 20 kg, for ease of travel. Alternatively, a small to medium-sized backpack (45-50 liters) can be a versatile choice. A separate, compact backpack (30 liters) will be handy for daily explorations, carrying essentials like water, a camera, and a jacket.

Essential Tour Info About the 12-Day Images Peru Tour

Please review the following essential tour information carefully, as it will answer many of your questions about our services and the 12-Day Images Peru Tour.

Arrival in Cusco:

Upon your arrival in Cusco, our dedicated team will warmly greet you and provide complimentary transportation from the airport to your hotel, ensuring a seamless start to your adventure. Cusco, the historic heart of the Inca Empire, stands at an elevation of approximately 3,400 meters (11,200 feet). To acclimatize to the high altitude, it is essential to take a couple of days to adjust. We recommend relaxing, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding strenuous activities during this period.

While in Cusco, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the city’s rich cultural heritage, exploring its stunning colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and ancient Inca sites. Our expert guides are available for city tours to deepen your understanding and appreciation of this remarkable destination. Your adventure truly begins the moment you land in Cusco, so embrace the chance to immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty and history that surrounds you.

A briefing for the 12-Day Images Peru Tour will take place the night before the trek at 6 pm, either in our office or at your hotel. During this meeting, you will meet your trekking guide and have the opportunity to ask any questions or address any concerns you might have. Additionally, you will settle the remaining balance of the tour. This meeting is essential to ensure you are well-prepared and informed about the upcoming adventure.

Can I Store My Luggage in Your Office?

Certainly, travelers embarking on the 12-Day Images Peru Tour can securely store their luggage with us. As seasoned adventurers, we recognize the importance of traveling light when trekking through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Peru. That’s why we provide handy duffel bags for essentials, allowing your primary luggage to be safekept in our office until your triumphant return.

This thoughtful arrangement ensures your trek is unhindered and you can fully immerse yourself in the unique cultural and scenic wonders that await on this unforgettable journey.

Can I Change the Date After I Purchase the Ticket?

Regrettably, no changes can be made after purchasing tickets, as per Peruvian regulations. Neither the date nor the ticket holder can be altered. Permits are non-transferable and non-refundable; thus, canceling your 12-Day Images Peru Tour package will forfeit your deposit. Ensure your plans are final before purchase to prevent any financial loss, as amendments are impossible. We appreciate your understanding.

Do I Need My Original Passport?

Yes, your original passport is necessary for the 12-Day Images Peru Tour. This is because the exact passport provided during your booking is required for entering Machu Picchu. Your passport will be verified at entry points for Machu Picchu, on the Inca Trail, and while boarding the train. If you are renewing your passport, please send us a copy of your old passport to secure the permit beforehand. Once you acquire your new passport, kindly send us a copy as soon as possible. It’s important to be aware of all restrictions enforced by Peruvian authorities regarding the documentation required for accessing these sites, including mandatory passport checks. Therefore, having an extra original copy available is advisable, just in case.

Health Recommendations

Considering your health and how altitude may affect you during the 12-Day Images Peru Tour is essential. Cusco is at a high altitude, and some travelers may experience altitude sickness. We advise acclimatizing for at least two days before starting the trek. Drink plenty of water, and avoid heavy or greasy meals. It’s also recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking during the acclimatization period. If you have a medical condition or are on prescription medication, consult your doctor before departure and carry any necessary medication in your carry-on luggage. Remember, your health is paramount to enjoying the wonders of this journey.

The Duffel Bag

As you prepare for your thrilling journey along the Inca Trail, we will equip you with a duffel bag for your five-day adventure. This bag can hold up to 7 kg (15 lbs) by Peruvian regulations, to ensure the well-being of our amazing porters. Each bag will be weighed, so if yours is over the limit, you’ll have to carry the extra load in your backpack, adding a dash of personal challenge to your trek. Allocate about 2 kilos for your sleeping bag and 1 kilo for your mattress, leaving you with a cozy 4 kilos for your essentials.

Our reliable porters will handle your duffel, along with food and camping gear, but remember, you’ll only see it at the end of each exhilarating day. For the hike, pack your day bag with essentials like a snug jacket, raincoat, camera for those breathtaking views, sunscreen, snacks, and water. A 30 to 40-liter backpack is perfect for keeping you prepared and comfortable throughout this awe-inspiring adventure.

Is the Trek Difficult? Do I Need to Be in Good Shape?

The Inca Trail trek is undeniably challenging, and maintaining good physical condition is crucial. Spanning 45 kilometers (26 miles) through the majestic Andes, this adventure ascends to a peak altitude of 13,779 feet (4,200 meters). On the second day, you will undertake the exhilarating task of climbing two mountains. Preparing with a moderate fitness level is essential, involving regular exercise for several months beforehand. Incorporating walks of around 9 miles or 15 kilometers daily into your routine can be especially beneficial.

Additionally, acclimatizing to high altitude is vital; spend 2-3 days in Cusco (3,350 meters / 11,047 feet) before starting the trek. This acclimatization period helps minimize the risk of altitude sickness, ensuring a more enjoyable experience. Ultimately, thorough preparation and a solid fitness foundation are key elements for a successful and unforgettable journey!

Completing the 12-Day Images Peru Tour package is highly likely, but it’s smart to be prepared.

You’ll be transported to the nearest city and assisted with travel to Cusco or “Aguas Calientes” as needed. If you recover quickly, you may still visit Machu Picchu by train from Ollantaytambo (additional cost).

If the trek can’t continue, enjoy other cultural sites in Peru! Your safety is our priority, so feel free to contact our team with any concerns during the trek. Remember, we’re here to support you. Don’t let this possibility deter you—proper preparation ensures a rewarding trek. Happy exploring!
