From Medellín’s vibrant neighborhoods to the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu, this South America group tour is packed with once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Trek scenic Andean mountain trails, salsa dance your way through Cali, kayak across the turquoise waters of Guatapé, and explore the iconic Lake Titicaca by boat. Whether you’re craving high-energy adventure, rich cultural immersion, or a bit of both – this itinerary delivers the ultimate bucket-list travel experience.

Absolutely! Most of our travellers join solo, and this tour is a fantastic way to meet new friends from around the world.

Accommodation is clean, social, and budget-friendly — perfect for young adventurers. You’ll stay in shared hostels and guesthouses with dorm or twin rooms in cities, enjoy basic hotels in smaller towns, camp during treks like the Inca Trail, and may experience a traditional homestay at Lake Titicaca. Private room upgrades are often available on request.

Inca Trail vs Salkantay Trek
The 4-day trek to Machu Picchu typically follows the iconic Inca Trail. However, permits are very limited and sell out 4–6 months in advance. If these are unavailable, the Salkantay Trek is offered as an equally rewarding alternative. Both routes are 4 days long, but Salkantay includes one hotel night in Aguas Calientes instead of camping all nights.

Permit Requirements & Group Logistics
Permits for all treks and Machu Picchu entry are non-refundable, non-transferable, and require valid passport details at the time of booking. Entry times and circuits within Machu Picchu are assigned by the local authorities, meaning group members may visit at different times or be split into different viewing routes. All routes offer spectacular experiences and equal access to the site’s main highlights.

Local Support & Guides
Treks are operated in partnership with local providers and may include travelers from other groups. Local guides will be present throughout the trek, though for logistical reasons, they may not accompany every traveler inside the site itself. A full briefing will always be provided before entry.

If trekking isn’t your thing or permits aren’t available, a non-trekking option is offered. Instead of hiking, you’ll stay two extra nights in Cusco, followed by a comfortable 2-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour (with hotel accommodation). The Cusco portion is unguided, but optional activities like walking tours, cooking classes, or chocolate-making can be added.

Good to know: Cusco is a welcoming city, ideal for self-guided exploration. You’ll have remote support available and suggestions for local experiences to enjoy at your own pace.

This tour involves active days including walking tours, light hikes, kayaking, and optional high-altitude trekking. No extreme training is needed, but being comfortable with walking long distances, climbing stairs, and being on your feet most of the day will make the experience much more enjoyable.
