Yes, but they are not the standard offering. Out of the 6 tour options we compare, only one (17%) is listed as a private tour. The vast majority of experiences are guided group flights. If a private flight is essential for your trip, you will need to filter specifically for that format, as it represents a small fraction of the total inventory.

Inclusions vary by provider, but roughly a third of the options we compare bundle additional services to make the day easier. Common inclusions include:

• Hotel pickup and drop-off
• Professional photos
• Video recording of the flight

Most tours are guided, but basic tickets may not cover transport or media, so check the specific listing details before booking.

The duration varies significantly depending on whether the package includes ground transport and briefing time. Most tours last between 30 minutes and 3 hours, with a median duration of 2 hours. Shorter flights may be just the airtime, while longer durations likely account for the drive to the launch site and safety checks.

Language support is limited but available. All tours we compare are offered in English and Spanish. You should not face a language barrier if you speak either of these languages, as both are widely supported across the different booking platforms.

Booking ahead is highly recommended for this activity. Weather conditions in the Andes can change rapidly, and slots often fill up quickly during peak tourist seasons. Additionally, about a third of the options offer free cancellation, giving you flexibility to secure your spot early without risking your budget if plans change.

Drink coca tea, stay hydrated, and rest for the first day. Acclimatize gradually before hiking.

Exercise caution as petty theft is common. Stay in well-lit areas and use registered taxis only.

Use US dollars. Carry small bills for markets and tips. ATMs dispense USD cash widely.
