Families and groups

The challenge here is the range: in the same group, someone wants to hike for four hours and someone else needs to sit down every twenty minutes. We plan each day so both have a place.

With kids, we shorten the distances, add breaks and choose sites where they can move around. With older adults, altitude matters most: arriving in Cusco at 11,000 feet hits hard, so a calm first day with oxygen on hand is a good idea.

And if someone has limited mobility, we tell you honestly which sites are accessible and which aren't. Ollantaytambo has long stone staircases, and good intentions won't change that.
