Planning details & sources
A thoughtfully arranged journey
- This is a starting point. Your advisor will tailor the pace, dates and arrangements.
- Coordinate Cusco airport–valley road transfers, Ollantaytambo train, citadel bus and Cusco return. Avoid oversized combined citadel-and-city days.
- Altitude, steps, rail baggage, exact hotel access and program eligibility need review. An Inca Trail hike is a separate permit and fitness-dependent route.
