We understand that life happens, even when planning a high-end trip. While the government strictly prohibits refunds or transfers on the initial permit purchase, we offer flexible solutions for the remainder of your package. Contact your travel designer immediately, and we will work to reallocate your costs, allowing you to postpone your journey without losing the substantial investment made in your exclusive services (e.g., luxury glamping setup, private chef, and therapist services). Our goal is to secure your experience, not penalize necessary changes.

A: For the Luxury Inca Trail, our focus is on maximum comfort right after the trek. The Vistadome Observatory (or 360° Train) provides large panoramic windows and a dedicated observation car, offering the best visual experience of the Sacred Valley after your hike. Upgrading beyond this level like to the Hiram Bingham often involves schedules that don’t align efficiently with the end of the Inca Trail, forcing unnecessary waiting time. We prioritize seamless transit and comfort, ensuring your luxury experience concludes immediately and effortlessly.

This is a valid concern, and the answer lies in our team. We utilize a private, dedicated culinary staff not standard trail cooks who are accustomed to preparing gourmet, multi course meals in remote settings. Our service includes fresh ingredients transported daily, high quality tableware and tailored menus (with wine/champagne options) that rival urban restaurant quality. This is fine dining under the stars, guaranteeing a culinary experience commensurate with the investment in your Luxury Inca Trail tour.
