- ContikiOperator•Written November 2024

Asked on August 4th, 2024Are Contiki tours possible for travelers aged 36 and 38? We are very adventurous and feel young!
- ContikiOperator•Written August 2024
Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. However, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions, including Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, and Luxury Gold.

Asked on March 28th, 2022Id like to ask if the Tour starts on June 12 or do we fly in Lima June 12
- ContikiOperator•Written April 2022
The Contiki trip would start on the 12th of June. Depending where you are traveling from you might need to depart on the 11th in order to ensure you don't miss any part of the Contiki trip.

Dave
Asked on March 21st, 2022Which version should I choose for the trips Der Abenteurer and Der Abenteurer-Zug nach Machu Picchu?
- ContikiOperator•Written March 2022
The main difference is the Machu Picchu route. One version offers a 1-day trek covering 6-kilometers, while the other version uses a train journey. The itinerary is the same until day 9. Trekkers will start at KM104 and hike for 3.5 hours, while train travelers will have a free morning and join the group in Aguas Calientes later.
