Options:
(1)
An extra night in Aguas Calientes
can easily be arranged for you if required. Hotels costs and costs associated with returning
to Machu Picchu the following day are additional to trek costs. It is best to make your hotel
reservation directly.
(2)
Vegetarian Meals.
We can provide vegetarian meals or cater for special
diets with no extra cost. Just let us know at least 2 days prior to trek
departure.
(3)
Sleeping bag hire
.
If you haven't got a sleeping bag or you don't want
the hassle of bringing one all the way to Peru with you then we have sleeping
bags in our office for rent. The price is US$3 per person per day.
Payment details: We will require a non-refundable trek deposit of US$150 per person payable within four days of
Andean Enjoy Peru
confirming your trek booking. Payment’s
Forms: Method 1. Payment by Western Union – see below the instructions of this way
Method 2. Payment on line ( 8 % Commission service on line) when you confirm me that you will use this method I will send you and e-mail for this option with all the details and instructions of how to do it.
Further details of how to send the deposit are included with our trek booking confirmation
email. The remaining balance is to be paid in our office at least two days prior
to your trek departure date. Payment can be made in cash US$, local currency
(Peruvian Soles), American Express Travel Checks (3%) or by VISA (6% surcharge
- VISA's cost not ours).
Other information:
(1)
Luggage storage.
When you go on the trek it is best to leave any luggage that you
are not going to need behind in Cusco. Nearly all the hotels in Cusco provide a
secure luggage deposit. Put any valuables in their safe. Very rarely do hotels
charge for this service especially if you are returning to the same hotel after
the trek. If there are any problems with your hotel we can arrange to store your
luggage at our office.
(2)
Time of arrival in Cusco after returning from the trek.
Unless you plan to stay an extra night in Aguas Calientes, you will return to
your hotel in Cusco for approximately 8:30pm on the 7th day of the trek.
|
|
|
All reservations must be made well in advance (2 and 3 month is recommended especially during the months June, July and August).
Earlier is better due to restrictions on the numbers of trekkers permitted on the Salkantay and Inca Trail.

Notes:
1. Your arrival date in Cusco must be at least 2 days prior to trek departure since you have
to pay the trek balance before 8pm 2 days before you start the trek. Arriving 2 days prior
to the trek also ensures that you are better acclimatized to the high altitude. However 3 days is recommended.
2. A free airport to hotel transfer is provided for groups of 2 persons or more. A single
supplement of US$5 will be charged for single travelers. Obviously if you want an airport
to hotel transfer we will require your flight arrival details: Airline, flight number,
expected arrival time and date. (to be confirmed at least 5 days in advance).
3. In order to qualify for a student discount you must be under the age of 26 and be in
possession of a valid international student identity card ISIC. You must bring the ISIC
card to the office when you pay the trek balance and take it with you on the Salkantay and Inca Trail
trek as it will be checked several times by government officials. Unfortunately no other
forms of student identity are acceptable (university cards, international youth cards etc).
If you forget your ISIC card or lose it then you will have to pay an additional US$5 for a
standard trek permit. The government has recently become more fastidious with respect to lost
ISIC cards and on several occasions has not given permission to the person to enter the
Salkantay and Inca Trail
4. If you have a hotel reservation in Cusco please include the name of your hotel on the
reservation form. This allows us to locate you if there are any problems with your arrival.
You will also be asked to confirm your hotel in Cusco when you come to the office to pay the trek balance.
We will confirm your trek reservation by email within a couple of days.
We will require a trek deposit of US$150 per person paid in advance. The date by which the trek deposit
has to be paid and details of how to pay the trek deposit will be included in the trek confirmation email.
