BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

About Pumice & Pine

Every itinerary is built around where you sleep rather than where you go, because in the Andes that is the only decision that matters.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Good value for what's included.

Well paced over 12 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Worth every rupee.

Andes done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would book with them again.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Worth every rupee.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Questions people ask

Very. Cusco is 3,399 m, Puno 3,812 m, La Paz 3,640 m and the lagoon circuit reaches 4,900 m. The itinerary flies to Cusco and then goes DOWN to the Sacred Valley to sleep, which is deliberate. Anyone who skips that is asking for trouble.
