As a fully local Cusco travel agency, we streamline the booking process, secure all necessary permits, and organize every detail in advance so you can travel with confidence.

Whether you book months in advance or at the last minute, our transparent, traveler-focused process ensures every detail is covered.

1. Choose Your Perfect Peru Adventure

We offer a curated selection of authentic Peru tours and treks, designed for comfort, safety, and cultural immersion.

Popular Experiences Include:

  • Classic Inca Trail Tours to Machu Picchu
  • Short Inca Trail
  • Salkantay Trek and Lares Trek
  • Sacred Valley cultural tours

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu has limited daily permits regulated by the Peruvian government and often sells out 6 to 8 months in advance. Booking early secures your preferred dates.

2. Submit Accurate Traveler Information

To secure permits and entrance tickets, all traveler information must match your passport exactly, as required by government regulations.

Required Details:

  • Full name (no nicknames)
  • Passport number
  • Nationality
  • Gender
  • Date of birth

Providing accurate details from the outset helps prevent delays, denied entry, or permit issues.

Your information is handled securely and used exclusively for official reservations.

3. Secure Your Reservation with a Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of $200 per person is required to confirm your tour or trek. This enables us to promptly secure:

  • Inca Trail permits (if applicable)
  • Machu Picchu entrance tickets
  • Train tickets to/from Aguas Calientes
  • Campsites, hotels, and logistics

✔️ This guarantees your place
✔️ Protects you from availability changes
✔️ Confirms official government-issued tickets

Once permits are issued, they are non-changeable and non-refundable.
