    Asked on March 11th, 2025

    I'm checking to see if you have anything available for 1 person this April, my dates are April 20th through the 24th?

    Price / Availability
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      We do have availability during your April time frame, the nice thing about our short break adventures is we offer them everyday. However, these departures are 'On Request' meaning; we will need payment in full to request your space with our local team since we are inside 56 days prior to travel.

    Do you arrange airport transfers?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2017

      An arrival airport transfer is not included in the tour price but can be added to the booking at any stage up until 1 week before you depart for an additional cost. Please contact us to arrange this.

    Heather

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    What do we do with our luggage in Machu Picchu?

    Other
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2016

      Intrepid recommends packing as light as possible so that you can actually take your small bag with you while touring Machu Picchu. Most of the hotels in Cusco have luggage storage that you can leave your bag in given that this tour begins and ends there.

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2016
