    Asked on February 4th, 2024

    Is there an age limit? (Our group is in age group of 22-60 years old) and are training for the trek. Do you provide duffel bag or do we have to bring our own duffle bags? What is the weight limit for the duffel bag(including sleeping bags)? What kind of tent accommodations do you provide? Does it have any mattresses? How many people in a tent? What kind of toilets are available? Am assuming that we can rent sleeping bags and hiking poles from you. What is the cost? Do you provide any rain jacket/poncho for traveler? Do you offer an upgrade to vista-dome train ride back?

Sleeping bag price is US$ 25.00 and Walking poles is US$ 25.00 (We can organize them at least one day before your departing). For the moment we don't provide ponchos for rain. In case of vistadome you can add US$ 20.00 per person, in your briefing time too.

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      If we rent sleeping bag from you, what will be weight of it? 5 KG for all personal stuff including sleeping bag seem too little and so wanted to check if most people are able to manage it.

    • CondeTravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      You can rent the sleeping bag with us, the weight is 1kg and half, but you can put the sleeping bag plus 5 kilos of personal stuff!

      About Salkantay 5 days, for the person that can't go hiking we can assist him with an additional horse (US$ 85.00); but consider that this service is only until the day 3rd of the trek then he can hike or we can organize transportation Approx (US$ 45.00) as an additional too.

      When do you have departure dates for the above tour? I really want to do a hike/trek to Machu Picchu.

    • CondeTravelOperatorWritten April 2023

      For the moment we just have departures on 11th April and 09th May to Salkantay trek 5 days, the price that you see on the website is incorrect we had been changing prices, correct price is US $499.00

    • CondeTravelOperatorWritten April 2023

      We can depart to this trek at least with two people, in case you'll like to have it you have to consider it as a private trek adding 60% more of the price.
