Is it difficult to do the Inca Trail Hike?
The Inca Trail difficulty starts with the distance. It’s 43 km (26.8 miles)
in total, covered over 4 days and 3 nights. Every tour operator is slightly
different, but the hike is generally broken down into:
Day 1: 11km (6.8 miles).
Day 2: 12km (7.5 miles).
Day 3: 16km (10 miles).
Day 4: 4km (2.5 miles).
The altitude is the most difficult aspect of the Inca Trail for many people.
If you have never hike at altitude before, then you know that the lack of
oxygen can cause even basic exercise to seem tricky at first.
Almost everyone who hikes the Inca Trail will be affected by the altitude
to some extent. If you have spent two to three days acclimatizing in Cusco
beforehand, the altitude on most of the hike will not cause you any issues.
The biggest challenge of the Inca Trail is the famous Dead Woman’s Pass.
At 4,215 m (13,828 ft) it is the highest point of the trail and by far the
most grueling.
For all You, healthy people with great cardiovascular fitness, the stairs
might just provide the biggest challenge. Whether it is the never-ending
staircase up to Dead Woman’s Pass or the uneven downhill challenge of
the famous ‘Gringo Killer’ steps, every day will feel like le-day on the Inca
Trail.

on a wide-open hill above the Urubamba Valley, a natural salt water stream runs
underground. In pre-Incan times, they have been evaporating the salty water from
this stream in order to obtain the salt that gets left behind.
After visiting the salt mines near Maras, we continue on a short distance to the
Moray ruins. The ruins are composed of three coliseums, which are thought to have
been used by the Incas as a sort of open air crop laboratory.
This place was used by the Incas to study the effects of different climatic conditions
on crops. The terraces are arranged in concentric circles and are reminiscent of an
ancient Greek theatre.

DOG SHELTER VOLUNTEER IN CUSCO
The location of the dog shelter it is outside of Cusco
city, around 25 minutes driving. It is a very small
shelter staffed completely by volunteers.Have in
mind that helping abandoned and abused dogs and
cats is easy and not expensive
This could be the easiest thing you do today, for
some people, their motivation main is compassion,
imagining oneself in the place of a living creature
that is trapped in a difficult life.For other people,
their motivation is a matter of ethics: how does one
justify treating animals this way?
Still others have personal reasons for offering kind-
ness and resources to care for abused and homeless
animals.Whatever your reason for becoming part of
the solution to this worldwide problem, we are gra-
teful that you share our goal to reduce the suffering
of Cusco’s street animals. How you can help us
If you are in Cusco and you have some friends Vo-
lunteer Your Time with us
Volunteers, a very important part of the Cusco Dog
shelter project team, are much appreciated by the
shelter’s dogs and unpaid staff. (Neither the shelter
nor the project has paid staff.) As a volunteer you
will:
• Prepare meals for and feed the dogs.
• Play with the dogs and walk them in the nearby
forest.
• Clean the animals’ playing and sleeping areas.
• Help with shelter maintenance and construction.
• Assist in animal care at a local veterinary clinic.
Wear old clothes and expect to get dirty—and to
be greeted with much enthusiasm by the shelter
animals. All volunteers are welcome, and we have
particular need for those with skills in the areas of
veterinary care, animal care, and light construction.
You can come for some hours to a full day, just let
us know in advance and we can manage to fit you
in our Daily schedule!

CHINCHERO COMMUNITY PROJECT
The cooperative project supported by CrossoverPeru
is located in the upper part of the Sacred Valley, in
the district of Chinchero, the has unique strengths in
terms of skills and products, and also offer different
pallays (designs in Quechua), according to how
their weaving tradition evolved.
We consider that our visit to this Project is going to
change the perspective of travel to the visitors and
also make an impact in the Life if the local people as
we are doing sustainable tourism as we are giving
back. As they are traveling.
Activities:
• Welcome to visitors with typical dances from the
área.
• Potatoe and Tuber Workshop.
• Activity of the day: Farming, cooking, harvesting,
Bull plowing.
• Complimentary activities: Walking to look outs
around the community(Especially for those
groups who will hike the Inca trail)
• Taste Typical food from the community as a
Included lunch for the visitor.
• Weaving Textile Demonstration, one of the most
important traditions in the Andes and we can
see what is the workshop production at the com-
munity.
56
The Kintu de Ocutuan Association
The Kintu de Coca Ocutuan weaving cooperative is
formed by 30 Quechua women and Men residing in
the high Andean community of Ocutuan in Chinche-
ro. Located at altitude of over 12 300 feet above sea
level. Close to Piuray Lake in the Andes of Peru.
Life is Hard but good there is a lot to do in the far-
ming lands around the community where the local
People farm potatoes, Corn Favabeans, wheat, oat,
and Barley.
The first view of the community is a moon-like,
windswept valley dotted with a few mud-brick hou-
ses. It is a harsh environment where temperatures
fall below zero in the afternoons, and little food
grows – largely only potatoes, sheep, and llamas.
Even today, people here live a subsistence lifestyle,
with little attention from the outside world. Whereas
the majority of the cooperative members did not
have the opportunity to study - the school closed in
the 1990’s due to terrorism, only reopening in 2006
and being officially recognized in 2008 - all school-
aged children are currently enrolled in school.
UMACHURCO INCA TRAIL PORTER TEAM
Our Inca trail expedition couldn’t get to Machu Pic-
chu without them.
Our Porter Team is integral for us to succeed on
these adventures. The only way to make it to Machu
Picchu is if we work as a team: guide, travelers and
PORTERS and it is our job to make sure that each
member of the team is treated properly and pro-
tected. Safety in the mountains is the top priority on
every hike we take.
Most of them come from the farming community
called “Umachurco” Located 04 hours from Cusco
City, the community is located in a good slope with
terraces build by the locals, during the Rainy season
they work in their lands they farm Quinoa and Po-
tatoes, during the dry the dry season they come and
with CrossoverPeru as a Porters
Every Porter at CrossoverPeru Tours receives:
• Good and livable working wages.
• Health insurance and full coverage of any medi-
cal cost incurred on the hike.
• Proper uniforms including waterproof jackets and
boots.
• Warm sleeping bags.
• Access to the same first aid our clients receive.
• A comfortable place to stay and sleep the night
before and after their hike (at our Porters House)
• Really good and nutritious food...the same meals
we prepare for our hikers.
• Support of their family with visits by medical pro-
fessionals, donations of supplies like boots and
health needs and a trip to Machu Picchu. Often
their first visit is with us as our guest.

QEROS, ANDEAN SHAMANS
The Qeros Nation are known as the keepers, who
inherited the ancient knowledge and at the same
time they are one of the most highly respected mys-
tics and spirituals in the southern and central Andes.
They are Andean priests, healers, shamans, and
simple farmers who are part of the very few Andean
people of Peru that are still preserving the knowle-
dge of the spiritual tradition of the Incas in a very
pure form.
These amazing people do not have the access to
a big hospital or a good education, have neither
electricity nor treated drinkable water, which makes
them see the world with different eyes appreciating
the nature, which the only access to what they have,
and nature provide them whatever they may need.
A man/woman from Qeros, inherited the great
spiritual knowledge coming the ancestors and divine
power from the heaven, which also make them spe-
cial people, and we know them like Maestros (Mas-
ters), who can guide our life to a good path.
As they are preserving all these ancient knowledge,
nowadays they are doing an amazing work with the
human beings in the areas where they can go and/
or travel, this work is based the incredible and ama-
zing spiritual healings that can help in the personal
life, improving and enhancing the appreciation for
the life, environment and the human mates.
Cusquenian people, we are starting to revalue and
retaking these sacred ceremonies, thanks because
these amazing people from Qeros, who come to the
city every August to perform the Offering to the Mo-
ther Earth, because we believe that August the Mo-
ther Earth is able to receive our gratitude. And this
going to be a great opportunity to be in contact with
the spiritual gods and ask all your desires, which is
balance that human beings we need to keep.
According what I can learn from the Masters, every-
body has the opportunity to be part of these cere-
monies in order to find yourself and live in harmony.

OUR TRAVELLERS
FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS
Reservations
We recommend booking 2-3 months prior to ensure availability. If your da-
tes are flexible we can take reservations on short notice, however our hi-
kes tend to book out as we keep our group sizes very small. In order to
book we send out an invoice for deposit via PayPal, and your final pay-
ment will be due in cash upon arrival to Cusco. (Other options available.)
Altitude
Our Hikes and Tours take place anywhere from 8,000 feet up to 17,000 feet. It is
essential to spend 2-3 days minimum in Cusco or similar elevation prior to taking
any hike with us. We recommend staying well hydrated while you are in elevation
and to get plenty of rest prior to your Hike. CrossoverPeru is not responsible if you
get altitude sickness. Please ask your doctor is you are concerned with the altitude.
Weather
Weather in the Peruvian Andes can be unpredictable ranging from hot and sunny
to rain, wind, cold and sometime snow. Hikers should be prepared with proper
gear and be ready for variable weather conditions throughout the day. Sma-
ll changes in the itinerary are a possibility as well as trip cancellations due to
bad weather. We reserve the right to cancel a trip prior to leaving Cusco if we
feel conditions are unsafe. If this happens you will be refunded your deposit in
full (see full Terms & Conditions), or have the opportunity to reschedule, however
trips still go out when there is rain, snow or fog. Temperatures can range from
35° F degrees in the morning to 50°F degrees in the afternoon. The sun does
get intense in the afternoon and we highly recommend bringing sun protection.
Tipping
Our guides and staff are paid on a per trip basis based on the number
of days they spend on the trail. While tipping is not required, it is a com-
mon practice in Latin America. If you feel your guide, and crew went abo-
ve and beyond to make your trip special gratuity is greatly appreciated.
Departures
Our hikes depart everyday upon request with a minimum of 2
guests (Solo travelers can be matched up with existing groups)
Food
We take pride in preparing a wonderful variety of food throughout your hike.
You will always be served local Peruvian style dishes in a family style manner
and you will never go hungry. We can cater to any dietary needs, but ask that
you notify us of your request at the time of booking. If we are not informed du-
ring your booking we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate.
First Aid
Hiking in the Andes and in high altitude can be dangerous and be-
cause of this our staff always carries a proper first aid kit along
with emergency oxygen for our guests to use if they are feeling ill.
Accomodation
All accomodation on multi-day hikes is tent camping. We bring qua-
lity 4 person tents but sleep a maximum of 2 persons to each tent.
Group Sizes
Our hikes depart every day with a minimum of 2 guests and a maxi-
mum of 7 guests for multi day hikes and 8 guests for our day trip (pri-
vate trips and large group trips available upon request at the time of
booking). Group pricing is available if your group is 4 or more people.
Insurance
Travel protection is essential for your peace of mind and safety throughout the trip.
Unexpected medical emergencies or illnesses prior to or during your trip could
make you lose pre-paid, non-refundable payments. Emergency medical transport
and air ambulances in remote locations can be extremely expensive and will pro-
bably not be covered by your medical health plan so it is compulsory that you
purchase personal adequate travel insurance which is appropriate for your trip.
This insurance must cover personal accident, medical expenses, air ambulance,
loss of effects, repatriation costs and all other expenses which may arise as a re-
sult of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience during your trip. We also sug-
gest you purchase cancellation and curtailment insurance. When obtaining travel
insurance, you must inform the insurer of the type of travel to be undertaken, es-
pecially when “adventure activities” are included in your trip. There are several in-
surance companies offering travel protection plans available for purchase online.

  • 15. INCA TRAIL HIKE TO MACHU PICCHU 15
  • 16. Is it difficult to do the Inca Trail Hike? The Inca Trail difficulty starts with the distance. It’s 43 km (26.8 miles) in total, covered over 4 days and 3 nights. Every tour operator is slightly different, but the hike is generally broken down into: Day 1: 11km (6.8 miles). Day 2: 12km (7.5 miles). Day 3: 16km (10 miles). Day 4: 4km (2.5 miles). The altitude is the most difficult aspect of the Inca Trail for many people. If you have never hike at altitude before, then you know that the lack of oxygen can cause even basic exercise to seem tricky at first. Almost everyone who hikes the Inca Trail will be affected by the altitude to some extent. If you have spent two to three days acclimatizing in Cusco beforehand, the altitude on most of the hike will not cause you any issues. The biggest challenge of the Inca Trail is the famous Dead Woman’s Pass. At 4,215 m (13,828 ft) it is the highest point of the trail and by far the most grueling. For all You, healthy people with great cardiovascular fitness, the stairs might just provide the biggest challenge. Whether it is the never-ending staircase up to Dead Woman’s Pass or the uneven downhill challenge of the famous ‘Gringo Killer’ steps, every day will feel like le-day on the Inca Trail. 16

Life is Hard but good there is a lot to do in the far- ming lands around the community where the local People farm potatoes, Corn Favabeans, wheat, oat, and Barley. The first view of the community is a moon-like, windswept valley dotted with a few mud-brick hou- ses. It is a harsh environment where temperatures fall below zero in the afternoons, and little food grows – largely only potatoes, sheep, and llamas. Even today, people here live a subsistence lifestyle, with little attention from the outside world. Whereas the majority of the cooperative members did not have the opportunity to study - the school closed in the 1990’s due to terrorism, only reopening in 2006 and being officially recognized in 2008 - all school- aged children are currently enrolled in school.

Most of them come from the farming community called “Umachurco” Located 04 hours from Cusco City, the community is located in a good slope with terraces build by the locals, during the Rainy season they work in their lands they farm Quinoa and Po- tatoes, during the dry the dry season they come and with CrossoverPeru as a Porters Every Porter at CrossoverPeru Tours receives: • Good and livable working wages. • Health insurance and full coverage of any medi- cal cost incurred on the hike. • Proper uniforms including waterproof jackets and boots. • Warm sleeping bags. • Access to the same first aid our clients receive. • A comfortable place to stay and sleep the night before and after their hike (at our Porters House) • Really good and nutritious food...the same meals we prepare for our hikers. • Support of their family with visits by medical pro- fessionals, donations of supplies like boots and health needs and a trip to Machu Picchu. Often their first visit is with us as our guest. 57

QEROS, ANDEAN SHAMANS The Qeros Nation are known as the keepers, who inherited the ancient knowledge and at the same time they are one of the most highly respected mys- tics and spirituals in the southern and central Andes. They are Andean priests, healers, shamans, and simple farmers who are part of the very few Andean people of Peru that are still preserving the knowle- dge of the spiritual tradition of the Incas in a very pure form. These amazing people do not have the access to a big hospital or a good education, have neither electricity nor treated drinkable water, which makes them see the world with different eyes appreciating the nature, which the only access to what they have, and nature provide them whatever they may need. A man/woman from Qeros, inherited the great spiritual knowledge coming the ancestors and divine power from the heaven, which also make them spe- cial people, and we know them like Maestros (Mas- ters), who can guide our life to a good path. As they are preserving all these ancient knowledge, nowadays they are doing an amazing work with the human beings in the areas where they can go and/ or travel, this work is based the incredible and ama- zing spiritual healings that can help in the personal life, improving and enhancing the appreciation for the life, environment and the human mates. Cusquenian people, we are starting to revalue and retaking these sacred ceremonies, thanks because these amazing people from Qeros, who come to the city every August to perform the Offering to the Mo- ther Earth, because we believe that August the Mo- ther Earth is able to receive our gratitude. And this going to be a great opportunity to be in contact with the spiritual gods and ask all your desires, which is balance that human beings we need to keep. According what I can learn from the Masters, every- body has the opportunity to be part of these cere- monies in order to find yourself and live in harmony. 57

If your da- tes are flexible we can take reservations on short notice, however our hi- kes tend to book out as we keep our group sizes very small. In order to book we send out an invoice for deposit via PayPal, and your final pay- ment will be due in cash upon arrival to Cusco. (Other options available.) Altitude Our Hikes and Tours take place anywhere from 8,000 feet up to 17,000 feet. It is essential to spend 2-3 days minimum in Cusco or similar elevation prior to taking any hike with us. We recommend staying well hydrated while you are in elevation and to get plenty of rest prior to your Hike. CrossoverPeru is not responsible if you get altitude sickness. Please ask your doctor is you are concerned with the altitude. Weather Weather in the Peruvian Andes can be unpredictable ranging from hot and sunny to rain, wind, cold and sometime snow. Hikers should be prepared with proper gear and be ready for variable weather conditions throughout the day. Sma- ll changes in the itinerary are a possibility as well as trip cancellations due to bad weather. We reserve the right to cancel a trip prior to leaving Cusco if we feel conditions are unsafe. If this happens you will be refunded your deposit in full (see full Terms & Conditions), or have the opportunity to reschedule, however trips still go out when there is rain, snow or fog. Temperatures can range from 35° F degrees in the morning to 50°F degrees in the afternoon. The sun does get intense in the afternoon and we highly recommend bringing sun protection. Tipping Our guides and staff are paid on a per trip basis based on the number of days they spend on the trail. While tipping is not required, it is a com- mon practice in Latin America. If you feel your guide, and crew went abo- ve and beyond to make your trip special gratuity is greatly appreciated. Departures Our hikes depart everyday upon request with a minimum of 2 guests (Solo travelers can be matched up with existing groups) Food We take pride in preparing a wonderful variety of food throughout your hike. You will always be served local Peruvian style dishes in a family style manner and you will never go hungry. We can cater to any dietary needs, but ask that you notify us of your request at the time of booking. If we are not informed du- ring your booking we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate. First Aid Hiking in the Andes and in high altitude can be dangerous and be- cause of this our staff always carries a proper first aid kit along with emergency oxygen for our guests to use if they are feeling ill. Accomodation All accomodation on multi-day hikes is tent camping. We bring qua- lity 4 person tents but sleep a maximum of 2 persons to each tent. Group Sizes Our hikes depart every day with a minimum of 2 guests and a maxi- mum of 7 guests for multi day hikes and 8 guests for our day trip (pri- vate trips and large group trips available upon request at the time of booking). Group pricing is available if your group is 4 or more people. Insurance Travel protection is essential for your peace of mind and safety throughout the trip. Unexpected medical emergencies or illnesses prior to or during your trip could make you lose pre-paid, non-refundable payments. Emergency medical transport and air ambulances in remote locations can be extremely expensive and will pro- bably not be covered by your medical health plan so it is compulsory that you purchase personal adequate travel insurance which is appropriate for your trip. This insurance must cover personal accident, medical expenses, air ambulance, loss of effects, repatriation costs and all other expenses which may arise as a re- sult of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience during your trip. We also sug- gest you purchase cancellation and curtailment insurance. When obtaining travel insurance, you must inform the insurer of the type of travel to be undertaken, es- pecially when “adventure activities” are included in your trip. There are several in- surance companies offering travel protection plans available for purchase online.
