Departure information

This trip can be arranged at a time to suit you, and adapted to your requirements. We also check the Inca Trail permit availability for you

Accessible Tourism overview:

For us it is important to assist and help where we can with travelers that need special assistance. All our trips can be tailor made, allowing us to adjust the trips specifically to the individual. This is also dependant on the budget available.

Limited mobility:

We have already worked with several clients with limited mobility - we have organised for clients to travel via rental cars with private drivers for example. Before the trip we will contact the individual and find out what part of our trip needs to be adapted, this will also allow us to brief the local guides so they can focus on the particular needs of the traveler. Different day excursions can be provided when the activities do not suit the travelers' particular needs.

Wheelchair:

We have worked with several clients that have been wheelchair bound, this has previously involved sorting out suitable travel, such as private taxi transfers, drivers and guides. We can discuss with the traveler beforehand exactly how the trip needs to be adapted. Extra activities can be provided instead if a suggested one isn't suitable for example. Travelers with a wheelchair will need to be accompanied on the trip.

Blind or Limited vision:

Information in braille is not available in Latin American destinations which means all the information will be delivered verbally. We can provide a host to take care of the travelers depending of budget. We have already guided a person with limited vision, so we know how to deal with the challenges. Local guides are trained and can be briefed on the specific needs of each traveler. Programmes can also be adapted for ease of travel. Travelers with severe vision impairments should be accompanied.

Deaf or limited hearing:

All information before the trip starts will be provided in a written format. Lip reading will be essential for understanding the local guides explanations. The traveler will also have to be accompanied by someone who will be able to sign the translations. A special host can be provided, but this can in dependent on budget. While not all our guides are trained in sign language, they have access to computer tablets for communication if necessary. We have guided a deaf person before, so we know the challenges involved.

'Free from' food:

Diet requests are communicated to all local operators involved that are included in the program and it should not be a problem to accommodate most.

LGBT:

We have not encountered any issues directed towards the LGBT community on our trips and believe that the countries that we travel in are welcoming and open to all travelers.

Many great memories. Machu Pichu and the Amazon jungle would have to top the list. Viewing the Nazca lines and the sand dunes of Huacachina were also really special. Read full review

Walking in Chivay region independently was one of the highlights, and a great starting point for the vacation. We also spent some time with a charity in Ollantaytambo and got to know some fantastic people working for the charity as well as local families. Read full review

Machu Picchu & the Lares Trail were the most memorable parts... Great experience, amazing sites - but very full on - little time to rest so don’t come for a relaxing break. Read full review
