No worries! We love introducing women to their first adventure. We'll make sure you feel comfortable and prepared every step of the way. The only problem is…you might find yourself hooked on adventure travel!

Our trips are designed for women of all kinds—single, married, moms, professionals, artists, athletes, you name it! We attract adventurous spirits who love the outdoors and enjoy meeting new people. We come from all walks of life, making every trip a rich tapestry of experiences and stories.

Age is just a number! If you feel young at heart and love adventure, you're perfect for our trips. Our groups typically range from 20 to 50 years old, but everyone's welcome.

Absolutely! Many of our travelers come solo and leave with lifelong friends. We actually encourage you come on your own! (You will find it very hard to be alone, trust me 😝)

We don’t charge single supplement fees; so we’ll pair you with another solo traveler. If you prefer some alone time, single room upgrades are usually available.

You don't need to be a super athlete, but a good fitness level helps you enjoy the trip more

This adventure in particular is considered as a moderate - high level of fitness required, given that we will be hiking in altitude (3000 - 4000 metres above sea level).

Many women use our trips as motivation to get back in shape! So here you have a few recommendations for high altitude training:

• Cardio Training: Run, cycle, or swim 3-5 times a week to build stamina.

• Strength Training: Focus on legs (squats, lunges) and core (planks) to support hiking.

• Endurance: Do long hikes with a loaded backpack, gradually increasing intensity.

• Yoga & Pilates: Incorporate these for flexibility, balance, and core strength.

• Acclimatization: Spend time at high altitudes before the hike, if possible.

• Breathing Exercises: Practice deep breathing to improve lung capacity.

• Hydration: Stay well-hydrated during training and hikes.

• Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet, including iron-rich foods.

• Mental Prep: Visualize challenges and practice staying calm.

• Gear Practice: Train with your hiking gear to break it in.

• Rest: Ensure proper rest and recovery between workouts.

And remember, our trips are about balance — plenty of challenge & adventure mixed with relaxation and fun!

Not at all! Our yoga sessions are for all levels. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a newbie, our instructors cater to everyone. Yoga with Locas Only is about connecting mind, body, and spirit—no need to be a pro!

We keep our groups small and intimate, usually between 10-14 women, including guides. This way, you get a personalized experience and build deeper connections with your fellow travelers. Benefits of Small Group Travel:

• Personalized experiences

• Easier logistics

• Stronger connections with fellow travelers

• Greater flexibility and adaptability

We aim to accommodate dietary needs, though some limitations may apply. Detail your requirements on the registration form and we'll do our best to cater to your needs.

We can usually handle vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets. 😊

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season from May to October, especially if you want to visit Cusco & Machu Picchu (which of course this is what we are doing!). But remember that weather can vary by region. In Lima, the capital, it’s best to travel between December - March when it’s summer as the water gets warmer and you can watch THE best sunsets from the ocean. ☀️

You don’t need a visa to travel to Peru if you are traveling on an Australian, NZ or US passport, unless you are staying for more than 90 days (yay!).

However, depending on the route you are taking to arrive in Peru you will probably transit through one of these countries which do require a visa:

1. Chile: Australian & NZ passport holders visiting Chile for tourism purposes or transit between 8 to 72 hours must apply for a single or multiple tourist visas. Visas must be lodged through the SAC CIUDADANOS portal only https://tramites.minrel.gov.cl/. All other nationalities: please check with your nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.

2. USA: An ESTA (visa waiver) for the USA is a strict requirement when travelling to or flying through the USA. Once a USA ESTA visa waiver is issued it is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires (whichever is sooner) and will allow multiple entries into the USA. For information on ESTA eligibility or to apply, please visit: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

Peru operates on Peru Standard Time (PET), which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). ⏰ Time difference with Australia (Sydney Time) is 16 hours during summer and 15 hours during winter with daylight savings. We literally live in different days! So, make sure to tell all your friends and relatives that it will be hard to communicate with you due to this reason (hello excuse to disconnect!)
