Reality Check
This tour goes to high altitude quite early on, and if you feel that you are particularly susceptible to altitude sickness, you are recommended to take the Cuzco pre-tour extension to aid acclimatisation. 10 days walking with full porterage; altitude maximum about 5000m, average 3500m. Grade C.
You should be aware that the size of Peru means that this trip involves some long drives, particularly Lima to Huaraz, Huaraz to Huanacopampa and also back to Lima, and you should be prepared for this. The buses used are comfortable and the scenery is outstanding. There will be several stops along the way to help break up the journey.
This trip spends considerable time at altitude - please see the warning under the Health section in the Trip Notes.

Misc
CUZCO EXTENSION.

Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
Fitness is important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most treks at this grade compare to extended walking in mountainous terrain such as the Lakes of Snowdonia, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness can also play a part. Previous trekking experience is desirable, but not vital if you are confident of your physical condition.
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
