Rafting is a scheduled activity on day one and part of the package; contact the operator ahead if you have concerns or mobility limits.
Hikes include several hours on uneven Inca trail sections with some steep pitches; good ankles, steady pace, and trekking poles help.
Yes—entry to Machu Picchu and train tickets back to Cusco are included in this itinerary as listed in the inclusions.
