FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When to visit Peru and Bolivia?

May-October — dry season, best overall. December-March — wet season at Uyuni (mirror effect!), but harder roads. November and April — transitional, good compromise.

How much does the Peru + Bolivia tour cost?

The 16–27 October combined trip spans 12 calendar days. Confirm the current price of your selected format and its inclusions with the organiser before booking.

Visa?

Peru and Bolivia — visa-free for most EU/US/UK passports up to 90 days. Check yours separately. Passport must have at least 6 months validity.

Is the altitude dangerous?

Cusco 3,400 m, Uyuni 3,656 m, lagoons up to 4,800 m. We schedule 2 days of Cusco acclimatisation before serious climbs. See altitude guide.

Is it physically hard?

Machu Picchu is an easy walk (no hike for the classic route). Salar is by jeep. The hardest part is altitude. Regular fitness + 2 days acclimatising = fine.

Is it safe?

Tourist zones in Peru and Bolivia are safe. Main risks — pickpockets in Lima/Cusco and rural roads. Guide + minivan removes most of those.

What to pack?

Layered clothing: nights sub-zero, days 20°C. Strong UV (SPF 50). Oxygen bottles (optional). Detailed packing checklist provided on tour.

Group size?

6-8 people. Sometimes two minivans.
