Overview

A Few Words About the Trip Structure

This itinerary begins in Peru and ends in La Paz, Bolivia. For convenience, it is possible to add a return flight from La Paz to Lima, depending on scheduling needs.

The current price is based on the upper end of estimates. It may be adjusted once hotels and services are fully confirmed, but it should not exceed the quoted amount.

Hotels

Expect hotel rates of around €70 per room per night. There are many charming options within this range.

During the Ausangate trek, accommodations will be simple (camping), and the journey toward the Salar de Uyuni will include basic but clean guesthouses.

Transportation

All domestic flights and ground transportation are included, using comfortable private vehicles. The only exceptions are the train to Machu Picchu and the short bus ride to the site.

If you prefer to reduce costs, certain legs—especially between Lake Titicaca and La Paz—could be done by bus instead.

Local Guides

Licensed local guides will accompany you during all major activities, including:

Cusco city tour
Sacred Valley
Machu Picchu
Ausangate Trek (mountain guide)
Death Road
La Paz city tour
Valley of the Moon
3-day Salar de Uyuni expedition

Meals

All meals are included at a rate of €6 for lunch and €16 for dinner, except on arrival days and the free day in Cusco. Lunch will be in small local eateries, while dinners will be in quality restaurants.

This also includes one drink with each meal, often an aperitif before dinner, one bottle of water per day, tastings of local fruits and products, and small snacks during transfers. The goal is to remove the hassle of managing shared bills and extras.

My Support

The price includes my full support for the entire 18-day journey (starting in Cusco). I will arrive in Peru at least two weeks beforehand to ensure everything is perfectly prepared.

Ausangate Trek

This trek has been booked privately, which raises the cost. A shared group option could reduce prices by approximately €500 per person, but flexibility regarding dates and pace would be limited.

Expect cold temperatures and spectacular scenery—snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and colorful high-altitude lakes. Encounters with local communities are part of the experience. Because the trek reaches altitudes above 5,000 m, solid physical preparation is strongly recommended.

Please note that the itinerary is a general outline. Distances, elevation gains, and departure times may vary based on the operator selected.

Uyuni Salt Flats

The current quote is for a private tour. Switching to a shared option could lower the overall cost by about €250 per person.

September is the dry season, so you will not see the mirror effect. However, the iconic hexagonal salt formations are stunning in their own right.

Practical Information

Yellow Fever Vaccination

The most important vaccine to consider for Colombia is Yellow Fever. While it is not always required for entry into the country if you are arriving directly from North America or Europe, it is highly recommended—and often mandatory—if your itinerary includes coastal national parks (such as Tayrona), the Amazon, or other low-altitude regions under 2,300 meters. If this applies to your tour, you must receive the vaccine at least 10 days prior to arrival and carry your physical International Certificate of Vaccination (the yellow card) with you.

Routine and Recommended Immunizations

To ensure a safe and comfortable trip, health authorities generally recommend being up-to-date on standard childhood vaccines, along with a few travel-specific boosters:

Hepatitis A and Typhoid: Highly recommended for all travelers to Colombia to protect against food and water-borne illnesses.
Tetanus: Ensure your booster is up to date (within the last 10 years) before departure.
Malaria: Depending on the specific destinations on your tour (especially low-lying rural or jungle areas), malaria preventative medication may be advised.

When to Consult a Professional

Because vaccine requirements can change and depend heavily on your personal medical history, we recommend scheduling an appointment with a travel clinic or your doctor at least 4 to 6 weeks before your departure. This ensures you have plenty of time to get any required doses and that they are fully effective by the time you land.

Recommendations

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellations, medical expenses, personal injury, and other unforeseen events. It is your responsibility to ensure that your insurance is adequate for your needs.

Although this itinerary does not require advanced hiking experience, it may include walking on uneven terrain, moderate elevation changes, and varying weather conditions depending on the destination.

To make the most of your trip, we recommend arriving in good physical condition. If possible, start preparing a few weeks or months in advance with regular activities such as walking, hiking, cycling, or other forms of light cardio to build endurance. Even 30–45 minutes of exercise a few times a week can make a noticeable difference.

A little preparation goes a long way toward making your journey more comfortable, enjoyable, and rewarding.

Detailed Trip Notes, including practical tips, cultural insights, and a complete packing list will be sent to you 60 days before departure.

Our Promise

Investment Protection: Flexible cancellation options (please check our Terms and conditions).
Personalized Attention: Small group size ensures dedicated guidance.
Authentic Experience: Focus on genuine connection and off-the-beaten-path moments.

Testimonials

Uncovering Colombia’s Magic with Tristan

I’ve been slowly reviewing all my shots from the Viva Colombia tour. It makes me relive all the incredible experiences Tristan put together for us! His love and enthusiasm for Colombia and its people was obvious. He had a good bond with all his drivers and guides, and he shines when he’s around children with his magic tricks. His people skills were excellent.

Tristan was responsive and went out of his way to make everyone happy. He took feedback to heart. I wanted to highlight how diligent he was. I have never been on a tour where the leader had prepared such a thorough talk with slides and examples of some of the creative concepts he was trying to teach.

I am so happy I managed to pull it together last minute to get onto this tour. It was SO worth it! There are a few Luminous Journey tours that I have an interest in so I’m not out of your hair yet.

You are in good hands with Tristan!

Tristan does an amazing job at putting together a culturally rich experience. He also does a great job at adapting to his clients needs and interests. He responds well to feedback. He is both professional and personable. I feel as though I had the opportunity not only to photograph many different elements of Colombia, but that I truly experienced the country and its culture. Our adventure took us from birding in the mountains outside of Cali, to visiting remote indigenous tribes, to visiting active fishing villages, to learning about local and historical musicians and customs, to beautiful settings in the mountains and along the seashore.

I give Tristan the highest recommendation as a guide for Colombia.

Un séjour de 4 semaines en Colombie magique sur tous les plans

Un séjour de 4 semaines en Colombie qui a été magique sur tous les plans : organisation, déroulé, rencontres avec les locaux, découverte de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, la synergie du groupe, l'accompagnement personnalisé de Tristan !
