Questions & Answers

  • Will locals speak English? or any language I speak?

    As with many counties, English tends to be taught in schools in Peru. All of our guides will be for the most part multi-lingual. Now, this does not mean that all locals will speak your native language but you will be surprised at how easily the language barriers can be broken in a place like Peru.

  • Can you provide me with a list of places we are staying at?

    We are only able to provide information on your joining and finish point accommodation. Journey Machu Picchu is a local business that likes to support many local businesses, we often have a few places in each city that we can alternate our groups between. For this reason, we can’t give you a full list before you travel.

  • Will I need a sleeping bag/mat/tent?

    We provide camping equipment such as tents and mats, however, sleeping bags are not included in the trip. You are welcome to bring your own or you can rent one with us at a cost of $20/person for the entirety of your trek.

  • Are there western toilets available?

    Some trips have regular access to western toilets while others don't – it just depends on the areas you’re travelling in. As a general rule, the more remote the place the less likely you are to find western bathroom facilities.

  • Can I hike to Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes?

    You certainly can. We have two options to get to Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes; we can either take the shuttle which has a time of 20 minutes or we can hike up to Machu Picchu which takes about 2 hours. The shuttle may have an additional cost depending on your trip style.

  • What about altitude sickness?

    We have a protocol to help you adjust to the high altitude in places like Cusco. We advice all our travellers to spend 48 hours in Cusco before starting any type of hiking experience. During those first 2 days you will need to follow a light diet with plenty of fluids and have short regular walks during the day. There are also remedies which we can recommend along with the protocol to help you get over altitude sickness.

  • Are airport transfers included in the trip price?

    On some of our packages transfers from the airport are included. Normally if you are only booking a trek transfers to and from the hotel will not be included, however please check our program or in any case ask one of our advisors.

  • What time can I check in at my arrival hotel?

    Check-in times depend on the hotel and region of the country. Generally, they are between midday and 2pm. If you do arrive earlier, you’ll be able to store your luggage with the hotel and head out to explore for a couple of hours. There is a possibility for early check in so please check with us.

  • What is the best way to carry money?

    We recommend having access to money from a variety of sources. We recommend exchanging money to the local currency at certified currency exchange houses. The airport in Lima (Jorge Chavez airport) is a great place to do this, very secure and trustworthy.

  • How do I find out about the visa requirements for the trip I am interested in?

    We always recommend that passengers check with their local embassy as visa rules can change without warning. Embassy websites in your home country will always have information about requirements. Having said that, all of our travel specialists will be decently versed in visa requirements for most incoming nationalities.

  • Do I need travel insurance?

    Travel insurance is not mandatory however we do recommend having it. There can always be events in which insurance can come in handy

  • Is it ok to be a solo traveler?

    Of course! Travel is something to be enjoyed with friends or on your own. We get many solo travelers every month that either want to have a private solo tour or are looking forward to meeting the other travelers in their group.

  • Can I add an extra night on the beginning or end of my group trip, either before or during the trip?

    We pride ourselves in being a very flexible tour operator. Changes such as extra nights can be done on the fly.

  • Can I make any changes to the itinerary of my group trip, either before or during the trip?

    Please make sure you are happy with your group trip itinerary before booking because we are unable to change them for individual travellers. However, if you let us know with enough time we can change details including hotels, tours, etc. There will be some situations that can be changed while you are taking the trip.

  • How many people will be on my trip?

    Large groups aren’t exactly what we prefer for travelers. This means we work with group sizes ranging from 6-16 travelers. There are also groups smaller than 10 travelers and of course if there is a need for private groups that can be accomplished as well.
