Well collect you from your hotel on the morning of trek departure and drop you off either in the Plaza de Armas (main square) or Plaza San Francisco (2 blocks from the main square) upon your return to Cusco. You wont be dropped off directly at your hotel. You have to be acclimatized to the altitude before starting the trek. This is why we require you to come to our offices to pay the trek balance at least two days before the trek departure date. Spending two nights in Cusco before the trek should ensure that you are suitably acclimatized. On the morning of trek departure we will collect you from inside your hotel in Cusco (dont wait outside in the street). It helps us if you try to stay in a hotel that is within a few blocks of the Plaza de Armas (Main Square). If your hotel is far away from the main square we will ask you to come to our offices at a set time (usually 6am). When you come to our office we will make a note of the name of your hotel on your trek receipt and well give you an approximate time that we will collect you (usually between 5:30 & 06:00). The guide will come into you hotel and ask for you at reception. Because the centre of Cusco is full of small cobblestone streets our larger bus is not permitted to enter certain zones in the city centre so you will then have to walk a short distance to where the bus will be waiting for you. Upon return to Cusco the bus will drop the group back off either in the Plaza de Armas (main square) or in the Plaza San Francisco. Traffic regulations prohibit large buses from entering the main square but usually after 10pm we dont have a problem and will be able to drop you off in the main square. You can then take a taxi back to your hotel (between US$1.5 & US$3 for a taxi). If we have to drop you off in Plaza San Francisco you may be a bit disorientated (some people may need to be woken up!!) but we recommend that you check to see in which direction the Plaza de Armas is (main square), the guide or our driver will be happy to help. Its only 2 blocks away but usually itll be quite late at night so best to walk together as a group back to the main square before taking a taxi or walking back to your hotel. Usually the guide will accompany you back to the main square and help you find a taxi. Unfortunately it is not practical for us to take you back directly to the door of your hotel. Most companies request their clients to meet up at a particular location in Cusco at the start of the trek (i.e. everyone meets in Plaza San Francisco at 05:30). This does help to save time and allow for an earlier start. Peru Treks reserves the right to introduce this system if felt necessary and the hotel collection by the guide does not form any kind of contractual obligation on behalf of Peru Treks. Dont worry it will be made very clear when and where we collect you on your trek voucher.
