Q: Is airfare included?

No, you are responsible for your own airfare to and from Peru. Most international travelers, especially those coming from the USA, will want to fly into Lima on a regular carrier such as American, Delta, United, or AeroMexico. Once in Lima, book air travel to Cusco on https://www.latamairlines.com/us/en. Please try to arrive in Cusco between 10am and 12pm, if possible. It is a two-hour ride to the hotel in the Sacred Valley. Some travelers choose to arrive in Cusco the night before (Nov 5th)  stay in a nearby hotel, then take a taxi to the airport on Saturday morning to meet the group. Our staff is happy to help with the additional night reservation and transportation if you choose this option.
