All informational meetings are held at your hotel at 6:00 PM on the evening before your tour begins. If you are unable to attend, you will need to arrange an alternative meeting time at the Peru Trek office.
The meeting lasts approximately 30–45 minutes. During the meeting, you will also receive a small canvas bag for storing any belongings that you will not need to carry in your daypack during the trek.
The trekking balance must be paid in full by 6:30 PM two days prior to departure. For example, if your tour departs on a Wednesday, you must be at our office by 6:30 PM on Monday.
We appreciate cash payments, either in US dollars or local currency. You can withdraw cash from various ATMs on Avenida El Sol (in US dollars or Peruvian soles). Note: We recommend using ATMs (Banco de la Nación, withdrawals in soles are commission-free). You can also pay by credit card or PayPal online, but a 5% service fee will apply, charged by Visa and PayPal. We do not accept bank checks or traveler’s checks.
Of course! During your trip, you can store your main luggage at our office or your hotel free of charge.
You can safely store any equipment you won’t need during the tour at your hotel. Almost all hotels offer this service. Please don’t leave valuables with your suitcases; store them in the hotel safe and request a detailed receipt (in the unlikely event of theft, many insurance companies require a copy of the receipt listing all items). For added peace of mind, store items like credit cards in a sealed and signed envelope.
Note: If you plan to leave your luggage at our office, please do so at least one day in advance. We will not be able to receive it on the day the tour begins, as our office closes at 8:00 a.m.
The Trek Ausangate company can pick you up at your hotel, as long as it is located in the Historic Center of Cusco. The pick-up time will be coordinated with your guide during the briefing. Pick-up time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes due to traffic. Cusco is a very old city, so it has many narrow, cobblestone streets. Some hotels and Airbnb accommodations may be located on streets without vehicle access or on long, steep inclines, making it difficult to transport luggage. We strongly recommend booking accommodation with good access.
Group tours are made up of people with diverse backgrounds. Physical abilities and ages may vary. By agreeing to participate in a group tour, you also accept that some people may walk faster or slower than you. Therefore, everyone can follow the tour at their own pace. A group may wish to modify the tour; however, the guide will decide, after consulting with all participants, whether such modifications are feasible.
Strikes and demonstrations are usually frequent in Peru and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your excursion as planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date. Under these circumstances, tours may also be cancelled. In case of changes or cancellations, all situations will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority and our decisions will be made to protect it.
You’re responsible for your objects during the tour. Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our trucks, tents, or restaurants.
