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.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Testimonials

The Magical Mystery Tour!

In March 2026, I ventured out of my comfort zone and booked an 11 day photography tour with Tristan, through Remote Expeditions.
It was amazing. Truly remote, we visited several indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada, first to meet them and find out a little about their way of life and second lay to photograph them. Additionally there were several opportunities for photographing birds, landscape and City Scenes in Cartagena.
We were fortunate enough to to be a small group, of two , which I was more that happy to pay a premium for. This gave us an intimate experience with the people we met along the way, additionally the 1:1 attention to our personal interests in photography was incredible.
Tristan was a real treat! He has spent the last 10 years living in and exploring this region of Colombia. He has cultivated relationships with the indigenous peoples of the area, and loves to share his understanding of their culture with you.

He structured the tour perfectly. He was organized, knowledgeable (about the land, its people and photography), compassionate, passionate and eager to share his vast internal encyclopedic information with you. When he didn’t know, he would quickly get you the information.
The remote places you get to, by 4x4, hiking and boating are exceptional. You could never find these places on your own.
Knowing little about Colombia, I was initially a little hesitant to take this tour. Having just returned, I wouldn’t hesitate for a nanosecond.
What ever type of tour you take with Tristan, you won’t be disappointed. He delivered everything he he promised, and a few amazing surprises more.

Voyage Patagonie Mars 2025

We spent three wonderful weeks in Patagonia with Tristan. An unforgettable trip for the three of us, in a warm and relaxed atmosphere that Tristan carefully crafted down to the finest details. He organized an itinerary perfectly tailored to our requests. Always smiling, incredibly kind, and very patient. He made us experience this exceptional journey with unique moments that went beyond our expectations. Tristan is an excellent guide. He plans his trips with great professionalism on all levels, yet manages to make you forget it by sharing the experience with you, marveling at the landscapes like a friend showing you around the country… A big thank you to you. Lots of love!

Fantastic trip off the beaten path

Tristan is a very knowledgeable guide and photographer, and he is also very personable. Traveling with him was a very nice experience and we had lots of laughs too!

The trip was flawlessly organized and Tristan understood our needs very well, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we discovered Colombia off the beaten path.

Last but not least, I have done a number of photography trips and Tristan is probably the most dedicated teacher I have traveled with. He is really passionate about passing on his knowledge and passion about photography.

I will certainly book another trip with Remote Expeditions in the near future.
