Lastly, know that pickpockets may create a sudden distraction. In any sort of puzzling street
situation, try to keep one hand on your valuables. If an encounter with a local turns out to be
long and complicated and involves money or your valuables, it might be a scam.

Photography in Machu Picchu

The use of professional cameras in Machu Picchu requires special permission by Peru’s
Ministry of Culture, so you will not be able to use a professional-grade camera or camcorder
during our visit there. Your average camera - point-and-shoot or DSLR - is not considered
professional-grade. However, lenses over 200 mm, tripods, and monopods are not allowed in
Machu Picchu.

Shopping

There may be scheduled visits to local shops during your adventure. There is no requirement
to make a purchase during these stops, and any purchase made is a direct transaction with
the shop in question, subject to the vendor’s terms of purchase. O.A.T. is not responsible for
purchases you make on your trip or for the shipment of your purchases.

Returns

If you discover an issue with an item, you should contact the vendor directly and expect that
any resolution will take longer than it would in the U.S. We recommend that you keep a copy
of all your receipts, invoices, or contracts, along with the shop’s contact information. Keep in
mind, local practice may vary from U.S. standards, so don’t assume that you have a certain
number of days after the purchase to speak up or that you are guaranteed a refund.
