IMPORTANT INFORMATION |
CAN
I CHARTER THIS TOUR? Yes! This tour can be chartered with a minimum
of 8 people. Call us for information and availability, 800-648-8488.
WHO COMES ON A NICHOLS EXPEDITIONS BIKE TOUR? You can expect a spirited mix of singles and couples in their 20's to 70's from all corners of the US and a few international locations as well. Many have accompanied us on numerous tours in the past. Most folks are recreational riders and all seem to share the common bond of an active lifestyle, an appreciation for the outdoors and a love for fun. We will gladly supply references and the make-up of any trip that you are interested in joining.
THE
GUIDES: Our exceptional Peruvian staff includes a bilingual Peruvian
guide, camp cooks and drivers for our support vehicles. The owners, Chuck
and Judy Nichols, accompany most trips and supply a fun style that brings
folks together like a group of friends having a great time on an unforgettable
vacation.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: This tour is perfect for riders and hikers of all abilities who are reasonably fit and in good general health. The 6 days of riding is moderately strenuous and daily cycling distances will vary from 15 to 48 miles. We will be riding at 8,000-14,000 feet, and most of the rides are actually downhill, yea! We will be on scenic paved and packed dirt roads with little traffic. A support van follows to assist riders when ever they want a lift and to avoid congested areas. The hiking is moderately strenuous on well maintained trails, with most hikes being 1-2 mile tours of Inca ruins. The longest hike is 10 miles to Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate. All hikes and rides are optional.
THE
FOOD: We will be staying in hotels and inns that serve great
food. On the 3 day camping portion, our menu features tasty, nutritious
meals perfect for outdoor activities. Our cooks are well trained in sanitary
procedures, and vegetarian and other dietary restrictions can easily be
accommodated with advanced notice. All meals are included except meals
in Cuzco
WEATHER: The skies are generally sunny and clear, and temperatures during the day may go into the 70's and at night drop below freezing. We have scheduled the tour at this time because it is the beginning of the dry season, but there is always a chance of rain.
RENTAL
BIKES: We rent good quality mountain bikes with a water bottle
cage and flat pedals without toe clips and straps. You are welcomed to
bring your own
pedals
and seat. We will supply all mechanical support during the tour. NOTE:
You will need to provide your own water bottle and helmet.
CAMERA
GEAR: Whether you shoot a digital or film camera, bring more
media storage cards or film than you think you need! A portable hard drive
may be the answer for digital storage. Other useful items are plenty of
extra batteries, lens cleaner, lens tissue, lens brush, a mini tabletop
tripod and a clean toothbrush to remove grit from your camera.
FILM
WARNING FROM TSA: Equipment used for screening checked and carry-on baggage WILL DAMAGE
UNDEVELOPED film. Make sure to REMOVE IT AND HAVE IT HAND INSPECTED. To
expedite the screening process, carry all film in clear canisters or take
the film out of solid colored canisters and put it in a clear plastic
ziploc bag. DIGITAL CAMERAS AND DIGITAL MEDIA ARE NOT AFFECTED. See the
TSA website for complete details - http://www.tsa.gov
LANGUAGE: It is not necessary to speak Spanish to travel in Peru, but i
t can be
lots of fun and our Peruvian crew can always help you with the finer points
of the language. A small dictionary and some creative sign language should
get you to the start of the trip without too much trouble. Many people
in the hotels and airports speak English.
MONEY: The currency of Peru is the Nuevo Sole (or simply Soles). You will need money for meals in Cuzco, beverages, shopping, snacks, airport taxes and tips for the Peruvian staff. We suggest exchanging a minimum of $250US (more if you like to shop).
CASH & CREDIT CARDS: US Cash: bring only NEW bills with NO tears. You can exchange money at the airport in Lima or Cuzco when you arrive. Credit Cards: bring 2 or more Visa or MasterCards in case you have trouble with one. There are ATMs in a few of the towns on the tour. To use your Credit Card to get Peruvian Soles at an ATM, each Credit Card will need a PIN#. Be sure to activate the PIN# and check that it works BEFORE you begin your travels. We also suggest contacting your credit card company PRIOR to your trip to inform them of the countries where you will be traveling and the dates. We do not recommend bringing Travelers Checks because some places do not accept them, exchange rates vary widely and they require a bank to exchange them.
TIPPING: We suggest 10% for good service in restaurants and a small amount for
baggage and taxi workers. Keep $1 US bills handy and you will produce
a smile every time! During the tour, we suggest $150US per guest to cover
our Peruvian guides, the staff and the various service people on the tour
and at the lodges.
PASSPORT: You must have a current Passport to enter Peru. Be sure does it does not expire within 3 months of completion of your trip. You do not need to have a VISA. You will receive a Tourist Card during your flight or upon arrival in Peru. They are free and good for up to 90 days. KEEP YOUR COPY OF THE TOURIST CARD FOR PRESENTATION UPON DEPARTURE FROM PERU.
MAKE COPIES OF PASSPORT: We recommend making 2 photocopies of your passport’s photo page and any other valuable documents you might carry with you on the tour. Travel with one copy stored separately from your passport . Leave the other copy at home with a relative or friend (ideally the same person you gave as your emergency contact). In the event that any of your documents are lost or stolen, this will greatly assist the process of replacement.
IMMUNIZATIONS: For all travelers, we suggest keeping your tetanus immunization up to date (every 10 years), and we suggest a Hepatitis A immunization, too. You can check your state health department, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or the online traveler’s data base http://www.mdtravelhealth.com for the most current information.
COLD & FLU SEASON: Check with your doctor to see if any of your current medications lower your immunity. Airplane flights, different cities or your neighbor’s kids could all be a source of germs, and no one wants to be sick on vacation! To keep yourself healthy WASH YOUR HANDS. We also recommend carrying a small hand sanitizer in your pack and using it.
THE SECRET TO STRESS FREE TRAVEL: Simply put, pack light and arrive early. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND arriving in Cuzco a day or two before your tour to be rested, acclimatized and more acquainted with the customs and pace of life in your new surroundings. Many people have told us this was the most important thing they did to get ready for this tour.
ADDITIONAL
HOTEL LODGING: Let us know if you would like us to make additional
hotel
reservations
for you in Lima or Cuzco either before or after the tour.
TRAVEL INFORMATION: THIS TOUR BEGINS AND ENDS IN CUZCO. There are no direct flights from the US to Cuzco, as all flights go through Lima. Continental, American, Delta and Lan Peru Airlines all service Lima. Lan Peru and Taca Airlines fly into Cuzco. We suggest checking Orbitz.com.
TRAVEL DELAYS: Nichols Expeditions is not responsible for any costs you may incur due to travel delays or other contingencies we are unable to control. For international flights, arrive at least 2-3 hours prior to departure (check with your air carrier for their requirements) and allow ample time between connecting flights. If you miss your flight and you need a special shuttle to meet up with the group, you will be responsible for the cost.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: To protect you against life's uncertainties, we have a Travel Insurance Policy that protects you against tour cancellation, trip interruption and medical emergencies along with baggage benefits. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRAVEL INSURANCE!
HIGH ALTITUDE: High altitude begins at 8,000 ft. This tour starts at 11,000 and we will ascend to 14,000 during a brief portion of one afternoon. From our experience leading many high altitude tours and from information gathered from leading medical experts, we can help you understand more about the effects of traveling at high altitude and how to lessen or prevent altitude sickness. You can also find altitude information online at MD Travel Health.
RECOGNIZING, PREVENTING & TREATING AMS (ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS): Nearly everyone who recreates above 8,000 ft. experiences some type of mild, short-lived reaction to the altitude. The most common are shortness of breath, a mild headache, fatigue, dizziness, a change in breathing, loss of appetite, nausea and insomnia. These symptoms usually go away within a day or two, and when they do, this is what "being acclimatized" means. However, if after a few days you are still bothered by these symptoms, OR if the symptoms become worse (vomiting, a headache that will not go away with Ibuprofen or aspirin, or decreased coordination) you have AMS.
Altitude acclimatization is best done by ascending 1,000-1,500 ft. per day. Unfortunately, at the beginning of this tour you fly directly from Lima at sea level to Cuzco at 11,000 feet, so we HIGHLY RECOMMEND arriving in Cuzco a day or two before your tour. To aid in your acclimatization, drink plenty of fluids, eat mostly carbohydrates, limit strenuous exercise, do not smoke, do not use depressant-type prescription sleeping pills (Melatonin is OK) and initially avoid alcoholic beverages. In addition to these precautions, and especially if you are prone to AMS, we suggest using, or at least bringing from home Acetazolamide and Dexamethasone. Both are prescription medications used to prevent and treat AMS, and if you need them, you will have them. These medications may not be available in Peru.
Treating AMS starts with recognizing and personally acknowledging the symptoms, and then assessing the severity of the symptoms and acting to reduce the affects. Treatment may require rest, prescription medications, oxygen and/or descent to a lower altitude.
MEDICATIONS
FOR PREVENTING & TREATING AMS (ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS):
ACETAZOLAMIDE (DIAMOX) - is the most widely used preventative,
and it has been shown to shorten the acclimatization process by increasing
the rate and depth of breathing. Acetazolamide is a mild diuretic and
common side effects are increased urination and tingling in the fingers
(that can be lessened by taking a potassium supplement). NOTE:
PEOPLE WITH A SULFA ALLERGY SHOULD NOT USE ACETAZOLAMIDE. If
there is any question about your tolerance for this medication, consider
trying it at home before the tour. Suggested dose is 125 mg (cut a 250
mg dose in half) twice per day for persons below 220 lbs., and 250 mg
twice per day for persons over 220 lbs. Begin the medication 24 hours
before arriving in Cuzco, and continue using it twice per day until reaching
the tour's maximum altitude on Day 6. Keep a few days extra in case you
have trouble breathing later in the tour.
GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACT - has recently been studied and has been shown to be effective in preventing or lessening the symptoms of AMS. It has yet to be determined exactly how Ginkgo Biloba works at altitude, but it may act as an antioxidant, reducing stress on tissues that have been injured by low oxygen levels. The recommended dose of Ginkgo Biloba extract (24% flavonoid glycosides, 6% terpenoids) is 80 - 120 mg twice a day, starting 5 days before arriving at high altitude and continuing while at altitude.
DEXAMETHASONE (DECADRON) - is a steroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat AMS. DEXAMETHASONE SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO DIABETICS OR ANYONE FOR WHOM STEROIDS ARE CONTRAINDICATED. The medical community is split on its use as a prophylactic to aid acclimatization, but it may be a reasonable alternative for those with a sulfa allergy who cannot tolerate Acetazolamide. They do agree that Dexamethasone is effective for treating AMS. As a prophylactic, dosage is 4 mg twice per day starting with your arrival in Cuzco, and continuing for a few days until no symptoms occur, then taper off gradually. As a treatment for AMS, take two 4 mg doses 6 hours apart. Do not ascend until at least 12 hours after the last dose, and then only if there are no symptoms of AMS.
For those who are allergic to Sulfa drugs, here are two other prescription medications to discuss with your doctor: oral NIFEDIPINE and SALMETEROL (SEREVENT)

PACKING & TRAVEL INFORMATION |
TRAVEL
SUGGESTIONS:
See TSA Security Regulations for
procedures and suggestions for expediting your experience in security.
If you change carriers on route to Peru, make sure you allow plenty of
time for any additional security and for your checked baggage to be transferred
to the new carrier. Also, arriving a day or two before the tour will allow
any lost bags time to reappear.
YOU MUST CLAIM YOUR BAGS IN LIMA. There are no direct flights to Cuzco. So, even if the ticketing agent said they will ticket you all the way to Cuzco, you still have to claim your bags in Lima and go through customs before proceeding to Cuzco.
PACKING
SUGGESTIONS:
Travel light and bring only the items on the equipment list. Limit yourself
to carrying only 3 bags - 1 daypack for carryon, 1 duffel or wheeled suitcase
for clothing and 1 duffel for sleeping bag if you bring one. Have an Identification
Tag on each bag. Any additional duffels can be packed inside your bags
until needed.
Packing Hint #1: Freezer-weight Ziploc plastic bags are lightweight, inexpensive, and see-through. They are indispensable for packing items like books, toilet kits and cameras, and to prevent spilled liquids & creams in your baggage.
Packing Hint #2: Travel-size samples save space and weight! Visit the "samples section" of your drugstore or supermarket and see if your favorite shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion, toothpaste and deodorant are available in travel-size samples. If not, transfer some to smaller plastic bottles that can be purchased in the size you need. Remember to plastic bag all lotions.
Packing Hint #3: Think multiple use items like zip-off leg convertible pants for hiking shorts, quick dry shorts double as a swimsuit, and a large bandana can be used for a towel. Be creative and keep your luggage light!
Packing Hint #4: Do your own laundry. If you bring synthetic clothing, you can easily wash what you wore in a hotel sink and hang it in your room to dry.
