2. Frequently Asked Questions about the Booking Process (Authority)

  • How can I verify Inca Trail permit availability?
    • Inca Trail permit availability is controlled by the Peruvian Government (DDC Cusco). As spaces are limited, we highly recommend you contact us directly via email or WhatsApp before making a deposit. Our team will verify real-time availability with the official platform.
  • What documents do I need to confirm my reservation?
    • For tours requiring permits (e.g., Machu Picchu, Inca Trail), it is essential to send a clear copy of your valid passport (or DNI/Foreigner’s Card for Peruvian residents). The information must exactly match the passport you will use for travel, as subsequent modifications to official tickets are not permitted.
  • Is it safe to make the reservation payment online?
    • Yes. We use certified payment gateways with SSL encryption, complying with international security standards (PCI DSS). Andean Pathways never stores your sensitive credit card information. We only collect data through secure tokens managed by the banking platforms.

3. Post-Booking Assistance and Documentation

  • When will I receive the final confirmation of my tour?
    • Once the deposit or full payment has been received and verified, and the permits have been issued (which can take up to 72 hours for special routes), we will send you an official confirmation voucher with the detailed itinerary, guide contact information, and meeting points.
  • What should I do if there is an error in my personal data?
    • If you detect an error in your passport or personal data after booking, you must notify our support team immediately. Correction may be possible if tickets have not yet been issued. If tickets have already been issued (e.g., Inca Trail), any change may incur additional costs or the need to purchase new tickets, according to government policy.
