• Choosing Day 4: Choose Palccoyo if you are worried about altitude sickness or hate hiking uphill. It’s just as beautiful as Vinicunca but much easier.Choose Humantay if you prefer water and snow over red mountains.

Clearing Your Doubts

Can I change my hike choice after booking?

We need to know your choice in advance to arrange the correct logistics (route, guide specialization, driving times). However, if you feel unwell on Day 3, we can switch you to a lighter option (like Palccoyo) if given 24-hour notice.

Do I need to book hotels myself?

You have the freedom to book your own, or we can include them. If you book with us, we ensure seamless coordination between the hotel lobby and your driver.

Is oxygen provided on the hikes?

Yes, absolutely. For Day 4 (and Day 1/2), your private vehicle and guide are equipped with an oxygen tank (Oxishot or tank) and a first aid kit. Safety is our priority at 16,000 feet.

What happens on Day 3 if I want to hike Wayna Picchu?

You must request this 3-4 months in advance. If permits are available, we will adjust the Machu Picchu guided tour timing to accommodate the extra hike.
