We go in 3 wks! 😒

Hi Rosalie, yeah I believe Travel Guard also provide adequate high altitude trekking insurance. Good luck on your hike!

I spoke w AIG Travel Guard Insurance & was told they have NO exclusions for high altitude. Are you aware of this?

Hi Shalabh, we now recommend Rise & Shield. When you checkout you’ll have the option to add their Adventure Extreme pack, which includes cover for hiking up to 4,600m.

I read the ‘View full description of coverage’, but could not find section 17: Work, Sports and Activities. Can you please clarify if we need to go with Standard or Explorer plan for 4D Inca Trail hike?

Thanks,
Shalabh

Which plan do I need to get with World Nomads to have this covered?

Hi Whitney, you only need to provide your passport details if you are planning to do the Inca Trail. Permits are not required on the alternative trails. You will need your passport to access Machu Picchu. All the best!
