Economic Service

The Economic Service is designed for travelers who want to enjoy the experience at a lower cost. In this service, groups are usually larger, which helps reduce the price per person. While it includes basic elements such as meals, a professional guide, and transportation, some expenses are not included, meaning travelers will need to cover certain extras during the trip. These may include entrance fees to tourist circuits, access to hot springs or other attractions that require payment, and the rental of personal equipment such as sleeping bags or trekking poles. This ensures a complete adventure experience, but participants should be prepared for occasional additional costs along the way

Premium Service

The Premium Service is designed for those seeking a more exclusive and worry-free journey. Groups are smaller, ensuring personalized attention, and everything necessary for the adventure is included in the price. This covers entrance tickets to all circuits and attractions, access to hot springs and other paid sites, as well as high-quality camping equipment, including tents, mattresses, and cooking gear. Travelers enjoy greater comfort, organization, and peace of mind, without having to worry about extra expenses along the route, offering a fully inclusive and stress-free experience.

In summary:

  • The Economic Service is an affordable shared option with larger groups and some extra expenses.
  • The Premium Service is a more comfortable, all-inclusive, and exclusive experience where everything is taken care of for you.

At Peru Hike, each tour is carefully categorized by its service level: Economic, Premium, or Luxury, allowing travelers to quickly understand the comfort, group size, and quality of service they can expect.

Tours that include Machu Picchu or the Inca Trail are clearly indicated in the title. Tours that do not include these sites do not mention them. To ensure complete transparency, we recommend reviewing the itinerary and inclusions section at the bottom of each package, where all details about what is provided are clearly outlined.

The chosen service level defines the type of accommodations, group size, equipment quality, and overall level of attention, giving travelers the confidence to select the experience that perfectly matches their expectations, comfort preferences, and adventure goals.

At Peru Hike, our goal is to provide a fully organized and professional experience, so each traveler can focus on enjoying the journey with peace of mind, knowing exactly what is included and what to expect.

What makes these trips different?

We believe that a vacation should be more than a hotel room, a flight and a rental car. It should be more than the sum of its parts. We also believe a challenge can help you grow and a trip can stir the soul. We create journeys worth taking - for the traveler, for the host and for the world.
