Frequently Asked Questions

I like your itinerary a lot. I would also like to go to the Ballestas Islands and Nazca Lines. Is it possible to combine the Trips?

I have not moved that much in the last years - So I am afraid not been able to do the Inca Trail. Is it really very difficult? Is there any other alternative?
