Peru 360° Collection: Lima, Cusco & Andean Condors over the Colca Canyon

This journey begins at Lima. On the first day, we meet at 18:00.

Your Group Leader will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
 It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have. If you expect to arrive later, let the Group Leader know through the group: we’ll make the necessary arrangements so you can join without any issues.

This journey ends at Lima. On the last day, you are free to leave at any time, so whether you need to book a flight, a train, or wish to continue the journey on your own, you can organize your return as you prefer.

For this itinerary, soft luggage is required for logistical reasons and the convenience of the whole group - including yourself! Soft luggage includes backpacks, duffel bags, or sports bags, but not trolleys or bulky suitcases. The Travel Group Leader will provide guidance on the ideal baggage before departure via the WhatsApp group.

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

Yes, you can change your trip directly from your MyWeRoad personal area, up to 31 days before departure. If you purchased Flexible Cancellation, to give you maximum flexibility, you may cancel your trip up to 8 days before departure and receive a refund, whatever the reason.

How to change your trip from MyWeRoad

• Enter your booking
• Scroll to the “Change your trip” section at the bottom right
• Select a different date for the same trip or a completely different trip

Things to know

You can change your trip up to 3 times from your MyWeRoad personal area. Further changes must be requested by contacting our team at hello@weroad.com.
The new trip must depart within 12 months from the original departure date.
If your original booking included a private room, Flexible Cancellation, discount codes, gift cards, or vouchers, we will notify you before confirmation if they cannot be applied to the new trip.

You cannot switch to sold-out trips. For “On request” departures, we will check availability. For “Last spots” departures, availability in rooms of your same gender may not be guaranteed.
If there is a price adjustment: if the new trip costs less, we will refund the difference; if it costs more, you will need to pay the difference.

PLEASE NOTE: before cancelling, keep in mind that you can move your booking to another trip or a different date. Find out how!

In some cases – for example when a departure is not yet confirmed and it is your first unconfirmed booking – you can book without paying the €/£/$100 deposit upfront.

This means that you can secure your spot at zero cost: nothing will be charged until the departure is confirmed. Once the departure is confirmed, the €/£/$100 deposit will be automatically charged within 48 hours according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.

Yes, but first consider changing your trip: from MyWeRoad you can move your booking to another date or another trip up to 31 days before departure, without losing what you've paid. Find out how!

If you still want to cancel

• Confirmed trip: you cancel directly from MyWeRoad, in the trip management section. Amounts paid are non-refundable, unless you bought Flexible Cancellation.
• Trip not confirmed yet: cancellation goes through our team. Write to hello@weroad.com with your booking code.

Please note: if it's your first unconfirmed booking, you will only be asked to provide a credit card, PayPal, or Revolut as a guarantee, but nothing will be charged. From the second unconfirmed booking onwards, a mandatory £/$100 deposit will be required.

You'll find all the details in Can I cancel my booking directly from MyWeRoad? and Can I get a refund if I cancel?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Klarna (you’ll pay for the trip in three equal amounts);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account.

Yes, in two ways:

1. From your personal area
Once you've booked, every WeRoader can add their flight details in their personal area, and the rest of the group can see them anonymously. Just log in, open your booking, and you'll find the section there. The more people fill it in, the easier it is for everyone to match up.

2. From the trip messages
Every departure has its own message space on the WeRoad website: the best place to ask your future travel mates directly, or to read what they've already written.

You don't need to have booked to join in. If you're still deciding, you can already ask who's going, when, and on which flight. You can get there from the departures list, from the trip page, or from your personal area once you're logged in.

Your Travel Coordinator is in the conversation too, so if you have a question about that specific departure, that's where you'll get an answer.

And if you can't find what you're looking for, just write to us and we'll share whatever information we have.

If a departure is “Open to book”, it means that the trip is not yet confirmed and we are waiting for a few more bookings… maybe yours!

The good news? If it’s your first booking on an unconfirmed departure, you can book without paying anything! Just. leave your credit card details as a guarantee: no immediate charge, €/£/$0 deposit.
In the meantime, wait for the departure to be confirmed before purchasing your round-trip flights!

It depends on when you cancel, the status of your departure, and how much you have already paid. Here are all the cases.

If the trip is not confirmed
Cancellation goes through our team: write to hello@weroad.com with your booking code.
If it was your first unconfirmed booking, nothing has been charged: no refund is needed. If you paid the €/£/$100 deposit, it is fully refunded. If you bought Flexible Cancellation, the cost of the option is not refunded.
If your booking was moved to this trip from a trip that was already confirmed, the conditions of your original booking still apply: the amount paid is non-refundable.
If WeRoad does not confirm the trip, we'll let you know by email and you can choose between a full refund and using the amount for another trip.

Tour confirmed – you paid only the €/£/$100 deposit
In case of cancellation, the deposit paid is not refunded. However, you can change your trip from your MyWeRoad Account and use the amount for another departure.

Tour confirmed – you paid the full amount
In case of cancellation, the amount paid is not refunded. However, you can change your trip from your MyWeRoad Area and use the amount for another departure.

If you cancel within 31 days of departure – Tour confirmed
You can cancel your booking at any time. However, in case of cancellation within 31 days of departure, no refund of the amount paid is provided, nor is it possible to change your trip, unless you have purchased Flexible Cancellation.
The private room fee, included in the price of your trip, is not refunded under any circumstances within this time frame, unless you have purchased Flexible Cancellation.

If you have Flexible Cancellation
With Flexible Cancellation, you may cancel your trip up to 8 days before departure and receive a refund, whatever the reason. The only amount not refunded is the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option itself.

PLEASE NOTE: before cancelling, keep in mind that you can move your booking to another trip or a different date. Find out how!

Generally, our groups have an average of 11 people. Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the US, UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to travelers between 18 and 53 years old. The indicated age is meant to give you an idea of the type of group, but it's not a strict limit: it's possible to participate even with a few years more or less, as long as you can keep up with the pace and energy of the group you're traveling with.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Group Leaders, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700. 

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

The WeRoad Travel Group Leader is an experienced and skilled traveler who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Group Leader will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Group Leader assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here. 

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travelers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to stay in a mixed-gender room. If needed, only travelers who have opted in to this option may share a room with travel companions of a different gender.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travelers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email hello@weroad.com if you have a preference on this. 

Find out the entry requirements for Peru, and, if needed, apply for your visa through our partner Sherpa.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Peru – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

• UK residents: review the FCDO Travel Advice.
• US residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
• Other residents: refer to your government or local consulate's travel advice.

Peru is in the Peru Time Zone, which is GMT-5. Peru does not observe daylight saving time. If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 7am in Peru. Perfect for coordinating those calls or planning your day!

Peru uses the Peruvian Sol (PEN) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but typically it's around:

• 1 GBP to 5 PEN
• 1 USD to 3.8 PEN
• 1 EUR to 4 PEN

You can exchange currency at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels. For the best rates, we suggest you use official exchange bureaus or ATMs.

In Peru, you can pay using cash, credit cards, and debit cards. Credit cards like Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger stores, but it's a good idea to carry some cash for smaller vendors and markets. ATMs are readily available in cities and towns for withdrawing Peruvian Soles. Always notify your bank before traveling to avoid any issues with your cards.

Tipping in Peru is appreciated but not always expected. In restaurants, a tip of around 10 percent is common if a service charge isn't included in the bill. For hotel staff, a small tip for good service is nice, like a couple of soles. If you're on a tour, consider tipping your guide and driver, with the amount depending on the length of the tour and the quality of service. For taxis, rounding up the fare is a friendly gesture, but it's not mandatory.

In Peru, internet access is generally good in urban areas, with Wi-Fi widely available in hotels, cafes, and restaurants. However, in rural and remote regions, connectivity can be limited. If you’re planning to travel outside the main cities or need constant internet access, buying a local SIM card is a smart move. You can get a SIM card from major providers like Claro, Movistar, or Bitel. Buying a prepaid SIM card or an e-SIM data plan can give you reliable access to data during your stay, ensuring you're connected wherever you go.

In Peru, the official language is Spanish, but you'll also hear Quechua and Aymara, especially in the Andean regions. Here are some useful Spanish expressions you might hear or use:

• Hello: Hola
• Please: Por favor
• Thank you: Gracias
• How much is it?: ¿Cuánto cuesta?
• Goodbye: Adiós

Knowing a few words can really enhance your travel experience. 

In Peru, you'll find two types of plugs: Type A and Type C. The electricity supply is 220 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz. 

If your devices have different plug types or are not dual voltage, we suggest you bring a universal adapter. This will help ensure your electronics stay charged and ready to use while you're exploring.

The main religion in Peru is Roman Catholicism, which plays a significant role in the country's culture and traditions. Important religious holidays include Easter and Christmas, which are widely celebrated with various local customs and festivities. If you're visiting during these times, you'll experience vibrant processions and traditional events. Peru is a country with religious diversity, so you'll also find communities practicing other religions, such as Protestantism, which is the second largest faith group.

Packing for Peru can be a bit tricky due to its diverse climate and geography. 
Here's a helpful list to prepare your backpack for a great trip:

• Clothing:
  - Lightweight t-shirts and long-sleeved shirts
  - Warm fleece or sweater for cooler evenings
  - Waterproof jacket for rain
  - Comfortable pants and shorts
• Shoes:
  - Sturdy hiking boots for treks
  - Comfortable walking shoes
  - Sandals for casual days
• Accessories and Technology:
  - Sunhat and sunglasses
  - Travel adapter (Type A, B, or C plugs)
  - Camera or smartphone with a charger
  - Portable power bank
• Toiletries and Medication:
  - Sunscreen and insect repellent
  - Personal hygiene items
  - Basic first aid kit
  - Altitude sickness medication, like acetazolamide

Peru's diverse regions mean you'll experience different climates, so it's best to be prepared for a range of conditions.

The weather in Peru varies greatly depending on the region due to its diverse geography. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Coastal Region (Lima): Generally mild with little rain year-round. Winter (June to September) can be foggy and humid, while summer (December to March) is warm and sunny.
• Highlands (Cusco, Machu Picchu): Dry season from May to September is sunny and cool, ideal for trekking. The wet season from November to March can bring heavy rain.
• Amazon Basin (Iquitos): Hot and humid throughout the year with a wet season from November to May and a slightly drier season from June to October.

The best time to visit depends on what you want to do, but generally, May to September offers favorable weather conditions for most regions.
