FAQs

Preparing for your trip

How do I get there? Flights and logistics:

All international flights into Peru route through Lima, with connections to most destinations throughout the country. Some flights out of North America and Europe arrive late in the evening after the last flight to Cusco has departed. In these cases, an overnight stay in Lima will be required before proceeding to Cusco. Your Sun Tour Peru travel specialist will be happy to assist you with making any necessary hotel arrangements.

Traveling to Cusco: There are four airline carriers that fly round-trip between Lima and Cusco: LATAM Airlines, Avianca Airlines, Star Peru, and Peruvian Airlines. All offer similar schedules and in-flight service, but we usually recommend either LATAM Airlines or Avianca as they tend to be the most helpful when unexpected flight cancellations or delays occur. Your Sun Tour Peru travel specialist can also assist you in selecting the best flight options for your trip.

What if I need help booking hotels and adding trip extensions to my itinerary?

We always encourage our guests to extend their trips with, at minimum, a couple of pre-adventure days in Cusco to provide time for altitude acclimatization while they explore the remarkable beauty of the city. Depending on availability, we would be happy to book accommodations for you at one of our signature hotels, We also recommend that our guests plan an extra night at Machu Picchu for a more comprehensive exploration of the citadel.

Sun Tour Peru can also help you plan and book any additional accommodations or excursions that you might like to experience during your time in Peru. We offer a collection of trip extensions to some of Peru’s other notable destinations: Lima, Arequipa, Nazca, Lake Titicaca, the Amazon and of course, within Cusco and The Sacred Valley. Please

alert your SUN TOUR  PERU  specialist if you would like to build any additional experiences into your trip.

Do I need travel insurance?

All guests are required to provide valid proof of travel insurance, including specific coverage for adventure travel activities in Peru. Sun Tour Peru can arrange appropriate coverage for medical expenses and medical emergency evacuation at a rate of $10/day. In the event that you are planning to spend any additional time in Peru, we can also assist you in extending this coverage to include travel beyond the dates of your Sun Tour Peru adventure.
