The tour is family-friendly but involves high altitude and vehicle travel; it’s not recommended for those with serious heart or spinal conditions and children should be monitored for altitude effects.
The tour includes one night in a 3-star hotel in Chivay and breakfasts plus specified buffet lunches; check the operator for any additional meal details.
