To hike from KM 104 on March 4, how do we go about doing that??? Do all the vistadome trains from Ollanta stop there? Do you have to have a guide? Will someone recommend a guide?


We're 46 and 52. We're staying two nights in AC.

Thanks all.

You have to have a guide. There's a guard shack where they check your ID.

I used Lima Tours and they were good.

The trains make an on-call stop at Km. 104. If there's a group making the hike, the train will stop. If not, it goes on by.

You must go with a guide, but have alternatives in mind. It might be too late to make reservations for early March, especially if you are looking for a specific date. Space fills up quickly.

Fodor's or nny guidebook to Peru lists outfitters that can take you.

Thanks Jeff ---

By the way, I loved Costa Rica last year. Hope to go back one day...

Jeff is correct, you need all the same paperwork as those who are doing the 4 day hike. So, not only a guide, but also the elusive permits. If this is something you really want to do and have a specific date in mind, start calling outfitters ASAP to try to lock in the permits.

Hope you can swing it. We did it in September and had a great time.
