Contact UsPlan at least 4-5 days: 1-2 days to acclimatize to the high altitude (3,400m/11,150ft), plus time for a Cusco city tour + ruins, a full-day Sacred Valley excursion, and the highlight — Machu Picchu. Add extra days for Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, or multi-day adventures. Rushing it means missing the magic and risking altitude sickness. We recommend slow travel for the real Cusco vibe!
The dry season (May to October) is ideal — sunny days, clear skies for Machu Picchu sunrise, and perfect conditions for hiking Rainbow Mountain or exploring the Sacred Valley. Peak months (June-August) are busier and pricier, while shoulder months (April-May, September-October) offer fewer crowds and great weather. Avoid the rainy season (November-March) if you prefer dry trails, though the landscapes are lush then!
Yes, absolutely — especially in 2026! Machu Picchu has timed entry slots and daily limits, so book your ticket + train + guided tour at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season (or 1 month for shoulder). Popular sunrise slots sell out fast. Our packages include everything (train, entry, guide) to skip the hassle and guarantee your spot. Last-minute? Possible in low season, but risky!
Cusco sits at 3,400m, so altitude sickness (soroche) is common at first. Tips: Arrive early and rest 1-2 days, drink coca tea/mate de coca, stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals/alcohol initially, and consider acetazolamide (Diamox) if prone. Tours to Machu Picchu (lower at 2,430m) and Sacred Valley feel easier after acclimatizing. Our guides carry oxygen and monitor everyone — most people feel great by day 2-3!
Cusco is generally very safe for tourists, especially in central areas with high police presence. Stick to licensed operators (like us!), use official taxis/apps at night, avoid flashing valuables, and book reputable tours to dodge scams (fake guides or overpriced “deals”). Petty theft happens in crowds, so keep bags close. With common sense and good planning, you’ll have an amazing, worry-free adventure!
