Machu Picchu Overnight Tour - Standard (2 days, 1 night)

Machu Picchu Overnight Tour - Standard (2 days, 1 night)
Machu Picchu is a must-see for those volunteering in Peru. IVHQ's standard 2-day & 1-night tour is an affordable and safe way to explore this unique Wonder of the World.

Transportation is on a backpacker train which leaves from either the Poroy station outside of Cusco or from the Ollantaytambo station in the Sacred Valley depending on availability. The train ride from Poroy is approximately 3 hours, while the train ride from Ollantaytambo is 75 minutes. Participants spend the night in the pueblo of Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu Mountain. Early on Day 2, participants take the bus up to Machu Picchu for a 2.5-hour guided tour of the Inca citadel. After the tour, there is free time to explore Machu Picchu and to make the optional climbs up Waynapicchu or Machu Picchu Mountain. Note, these extra hikes must be pre-booked. Later in the afternoon, participants take the train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo or Poroy, where they are met and transferred back to Cusco by a large van or bus. 

Please note, this is not a private tour. On this trip you will be accommodated in a shared dorm-style hostel and will experience this tour with a group of volunteers and tourists.

If you’re seeking a more private tour option, please check out the Machu Picchu Overnight Tour - Upgrade (2 days, 1 night) option where you can experience the tour as part of a smaller group, in a standard private hotel room, with private transportation to and from the train station, and an upgraded train car.

*The local team also required a copy of your passport, as per Peruvian tourism requirements. You can send this to the local team directly once you have registered for the program.

Please note, this tour is non-refundable and not able to be credited for future use, in the event you need to cancel after booking. If you need to make a change to the tour date you have booked once payment is completed (provided there is availability on the revised date), there will be an administration fee associated with the change, as per the policy of the tour company.

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

Secure your PADI Open Water Diver certification and unlock a world of thrilling underwater adventures!

$995

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
Seize the opportunity to earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification either prior to joining or upon completing the IVHQ Peru - Cusco Program.

The PADI certification program takes place over 5 days and 4 nights (Monday to Friday). This program immerses you in the vibrant coastal settings of Lima and Pucusana, offering a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on diving experiences under the guidance of a certified instructor.   

You can expect to spend 4 - 5 hours each day on the water and/or boat alongside your instructor. With all diving equipment provided, this journey promises an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1: Travel to Lima
Travel Lima is at your own expense - the team will provide a pickup and transfer to the accommodation upon arrival.  

Day 2: Theory and Abilities
Begin your introduction to Scuba with the first few chapters of your manual and multimedia. Learn about how pressure affects the body, choosing the right gear, dive planning, and safety.

Day 3: Pool Session
Once the materials are covered, you have your first confined session in a swimming pool for 3 - 4 hours, building comfort with your equipment and practicing hand signals and safety exercises.

Day 4: Ocean Dives
This first ocean session gets you comfortable with the gear in an open water environment. Journey to the depths twice this day, depending on the tides.

Day 5: Final Dives and Exam
Put your new skills into practice! Today you complete your final two required dives alongside your instructor. You then write your final exam back in the classroom, and once you have passed you are officially a Certified PADI Open Water Diver!

If you would like to spend Friday night in Lima before departing (which we recommend if you've been diving that day), the local team can help you to arrange an extra night of accommodation as Friday night is not included in this tour fee.

*Please note, this activity is based in Lima so you must arrange your own flights from Cusco to Lima. You will also need to provide your own bathing suit and towel for this activity.

Airport Drop-off
Want your airport drop off organized for you at the end of your IVHQ Peru - Cusco trip? We can book an airport transfer for you from your volunteer accommodation back to the airport at an affordable price. 

Without knowing what the right price is to pay in Cusco for an airport transfer, you can easily get overcharged, or spend a long time trying to find a decent price and reliable transport. IVHQ’s local team knows the most reliable airport transfer companies and can get them booked for you at an affordable local rate. 

You’ll be picked up from your volunteer accommodation in Cusco at your chosen time, and driven directly to the airport with plenty of time for your flight. Transfers to other destinations can also be arranged if you are heading somewhere else.

Secure your PADI Open Water Diver certification and unlock a world of thrilling underwater adventures!

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
Seize the opportunity to earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification either prior to joining or upon completing the IVHQ Peru - Cusco Program.

The PADI certification program takes place over 5 days and 4 nights (Monday to Friday). This program immerses you in the vibrant coastal settings of Lima and Pucusana, offering a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on diving experiences under the guidance of a certified instructor.   

You can expect to spend 4 - 5 hours each day on the water and/or boat alongside your instructor. With all diving equipment provided, this journey promises an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1: Travel to Lima
Travel Lima is at your own expense - the team will provide a pickup and transfer to the accommodation upon arrival.  

Day 2: Theory and Abilities
Begin your introduction to Scuba with the first few chapters of your manual and multimedia. Learn about how pressure affects the body, choosing the right gear, dive planning, and safety.

Day 3: Pool Session
Once the materials are covered, you have your first confined session in a swimming pool for 3 - 4 hours, building comfort with your equipment and practicing hand signals and safety exercises.

Day 4: Ocean Dives
This first ocean session gets you comfortable with the gear in an open water environment. Journey to the depths twice this day, depending on the tides.

Day 5: Final Dives and Exam
Put your new skills into practice! Today you complete your final two required dives alongside your instructor. You then write your final exam back in the classroom, and once you have passed you are officially a Certified PADI Open Water Diver!

If you would like to spend Friday night in Lima before departing (which we recommend if you've been diving that day), the local team can help you to arrange an extra night of accommodation as Friday night is not included in this tour fee.

*Please note, this activity is based in Lima so you must arrange your own flights from Cusco to Lima. You will also need to provide your own bathing suit and towel for this activity.

Airport Drop-off
Want your airport drop off organized for you at the end of your IVHQ Peru - Cusco trip? We can book an airport transfer for you from your volunteer accommodation back to the airport at an affordable price. 

Without knowing what the right price is to pay in Cusco for an airport transfer, you can easily get overcharged, or spend a long time trying to find a decent price and reliable transport. IVHQ’s local team knows the most reliable airport transfer companies and can get them booked for you at an affordable local rate. 

You’ll be picked up from your volunteer accommodation in Cusco at your chosen time, and driven directly to the airport with plenty of time for your flight. Transfers to other destinations can also be arranged if you are heading somewhere else.
