Should I be concerned about altitude?Most of this adventure takes place at altitudes ranging from 8,000 to 12,500 ft. (2,400 to 3,800 m.) above sea level. Because the adventure starts in
Lima (at sea level) and then continues to the lower Sacred Valley (9,200 ft. or 2,800 m.) and Machu Picchu (8,000 ft. or 2,400 m.), you have a chance
PERU | Machu Picchu, Lima, Sacred Valley Of The Incas, Cusco | 9 Days / 8 Nights | Central & South America
This printable itinerary is for informational purposes only and is subject to change at any time without notice. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply. Adventures by Disney Travel Services, Inc. CST#2082519-20, ©Disney
to get slightly acclimated before you reach the higher elevation of Cusco (11,200 ft. or 3,400 m.).
Altitude does affect some people. Individuals may initially experience some shortness of breath and heart pounding. Other symptoms include:
headaches, loss of appetite, nausea and feeling weak and dizzy. Generally, the effects of altitude sickness are mitigated by drinking lots of water,
resting periodically, avoiding alcohol and eating lightly. We strongly encourage you to consult with your physician to determine if this adventure is
appropriate for you and whether prescription medications to prevent altitude sickness might benefit you.
How strenuous are the activities?This adventure is physically strenuous. It is not recommended for anyone who has difficulties with high altitudes or a large amount of hiking. Activities
on this journey include challenging terrain like uneven surfaces, steep inclines and irregular stairs and cobblestone streets. Rafting on the Urubamba
River (Class 2) is considered gentle. Bear in mind that most of the trip is at altitudes between 8,000 – 11,000 feet above sea level. The itinerary has
been created purposely with the highest altitude (Cusco) towards the end of the adventure. The trip requires a high amount of stamina in order to
participate in the majority of the exciting activities offered on this vacation.
What ages are appropriate for this adventure?While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we recommend that children be at least 8
years old at the time of travel on our Peru trip. This is based on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences in the
destination, duration of the vacation, high altitude at the destination, extended hours of daily activity programming, number of internal transports
between experiences, potential for extreme temperatures in the summer months, and amount of physical activity (e.g., walking on uneven surfaces,
up and down stairs, and cobblestone sidewalks) involved. Because each child is different, call a Vacationista at (800) 543-0865† to discuss whether
this is the right trip for your kids.
What types of meals are served on this Adventures by Disney Trip?Typically, breakfast is served buffet style. Some lunches and dinners are also served buffet style, while others offer a limited-choice menu. Dinners
and lunches usually include fish, meat, and pasta or rice entrées, soup, vegetables, desserts and fruit, along with a chance to try Peruvian specialties.
While the menus have been planned to give you a taste of typical Peruvian cuisine, they are always balanced with limited American fare. Given the
nature of group travel, we regret that á la carte menu choices are not available. Children-friendly choices are available at all meals. Menu items are
subject to change due to the availability and seasonality of foods. In order to offer you and your family a bit of time to enjoy meals amongst
yourselves, there are a few meals that are not included in the itinerary. These meals have been planned in towns or cities where you will have plenty
of options available. If you have any questions or concerns about dining at any time during your vacation, your Adventure Guides will be happy to
assist you.

Is alcohol included with meals?Alcoholic beverages are typically not included with your scheduled meals. However, you may purchase them at your own expense.
Can you accommodate special dietary needs?Adventures by Disney will make a reasonable effort to accommodate some special dietary needs at no additional charge. Unfortunately, we may not
be able to accommodate all special dietary needs requested. Please contact a Vacationista at (800) 543-0865† in advance of your departure to advise
us of your needs.
Is this itinerary appropriate for travelers with special needs?Please note that this vacation includes activities that present certain challenges to Guests with special needs. It is strongly recommended that persons
requiring assistance be accompanied by a companion who is capable of and totally responsible for providing assistance. Neither Adventures by Disney
nor its suppliers may physically lift or assist Guests onto transportation vehicles. Contact a Vacationista at (800) 543-0865† to discuss your needs.
Peru has very limited accessibility.
What if Adventures by Disney cancels the adventure prior to departure?We will make every reasonable effort to operate the vacations as advertised; however, we reserve the right to curtail or modify the itinerary, or to
substitute activities, hotels, meals or transportation as we deem necessary. We further reserve the right to reduce the number of Adventure Guides to
one, and to modify other services to accommodate a smaller group, if a minimum number of Guests is not reached. Similarly, we may marginally
exceed the stated group maximum size if necessary to accommodate a family. Please also note that during certain holidays and peak periods, some
activities may be disrupted or unavailable. None of these modifications or changes shall affect the land package price. We reserve the right to cancel
a trip at any time prior to its commencement for any reason, such as if there are too few Guests, or if the quality of the trip or the safety of the Guests
would, in our opinion, be compromised, such as may result from unforeseen circumstances (acts of God) or other circumstances beyond our
reasonable control. If we cancel your trip prior to its commencement because there are too few Guests: (i) we will attempt to re-book you on another
departure of the same itinerary, subject to availability, and we will bear any reasonable airline re-booking charges; however, if we are unable to
rebook you, we will issue a full refund of your land package price and Plan (unless you have filed a claim); and (ii) if you booked airfare through us, we
will issue a full refund of your airfare; and (iii) if you did not book airfare through us, we will reimburse you for your reasonable out-of-pocket (subject
to proof) airline cancellation charges or, in the case of bookings using frequent flier miles, a reasonable cancellation service fee, provided you have
exercised best efforts to mitigate such charges/fees; and (iv) the aforesaid payments and/or rebooking by us shall constitute a full settlement.
Is travel insurance available?Yes, you can protect your vacation investment by adding the Adventures by Disney Vacation Protection Plan to your reservation.
