No vaccinations are required for Peru, including the Amazon and Machu Picchu. Some travellers choose optional precautions like yellow fever for personal peace of mind, but this is not mandatory. We recommend consulting your doctor for personalised advice based on your medical history.

Yes, every element can be personalised to your style and pace. Being based in Cusco allows us to adjust activities, timings, and experiences effortlessly. Whether you prefer additional downtime, cultural depth, or enhanced comfort, we tailor the itinerary so the journey feels entirely made for you.

Aqua Nera delivers a safe, hotel-level experience deep in the Amazon. Expert naturalist guides accompany all excursions, and the vessel follows strict safety standards. Suites are spacious and air-conditioned, exposure to insects is surprisingly low on the river, and most guests find the journey unexpectedly comfortable.

Machu Picchu is far more manageable than many expect. Your private guide chooses the gentlest circuit, sets a relaxed pace, and includes frequent breaks. While there are steps and uneven surfaces, most mature travellers explore the site confidently and describe the experience as enjoyable rather than strenuous.

Your journey is designed for gradual acclimatisation, beginning in the lower-altitude Sacred Valley before reaching Cusco. Private guides adjust pacing, monitor your comfort, and schedule rest stops. Most travellers—especially those 50+—experience only mild, short-lived symptoms and adapt comfortably within a day or two.
