I have been wanting to do Peru with Amazon add on, and have done lots of searching on the different solos websites, but still come back to JY and Travelsphere because it seems more friendly.
I fancy the Travelsphere 18 day equivalent to the JY 14 days, because this gives more time to acclimatise to altitudes.
Comparing the Costs: 14 d, JY from £3528.00 but no 2015 dates as yet!
18 d. Travelsphere cost £3448.00 for May 2015 but the cost of the singles supplement is £475.00.
My concerns are the Travelsphere wordings:
This holiday includes walking in areas of rough ground, gradients and steps.
Altitude
During this tour you will travel to altitudes of over 12,000ft where altitude sickness can occur. This should not be a problem, although everyone should take it easy at first. Our tour has been designed to allow a more gradual increase in altitude, giving you more time to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. Other simple measures, such as eating light meals and drinking lots of fluids can also help to alleviate the symptoms. If you suffer from heart or respiratory conditions or have any other concerns please consult your doctor.
There are no such warnings on the JY Tour Itinerary, but there has been in the past.
Does any one know if the Travelsphere Tour is more strenuous than that of JY and how much walking (rough ground, gradients and steps) is involved on either Tour?
I am ready to book a trip for May 2015 and I am not sure what to do for the best. Travelsphere does have some singles on their holidays, but JY does not yet have Tours available for 2015.
Can anyone offer advice and suggestions? Anything would be appreciated.
Take care and thank you.
