In case of an emergency, our staff is trained to handle various situations. Our guides are certified in first aid, allowing them to properly assess and manage any incident that requires medical attention. Basic medical care, depending on the location of the evacuation, will be available in the cities of Ollantaytambo or Urubamba. For more complex treatments or depending on the severity, it may be necessary to transfer to Cusco for additional medical attention. We have an emergency plan, satellite communication, oxygen assistance, and evacuation points throughout the entire route to be prepared for any contingency.

For more scenic routes, such as the journey from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu Village, round trip, we will take the train, which offers stunning views of the Andean landscape.
