  • Bring a small lock for your luggage or daypack for extra security.

The ideal time to travel is during the shoulder seasons: April–May and September–October. These months offer good weather across regions, fewer crowds at Machu Picchu, and pleasant conditions in the Andes

Travelers from the U.S., Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and many others do not require a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. A valid passport with at least six months of validity is required.

Altitude sickness can occur in high-altitude destinations like Cusco (3,400 m), Puno (3,800 m), and Rainbow Mountain (5,100 m). We’ve designed this itinerary for gradual acclimatization. Staying hydrated, drinking coca tea, and taking it easy can help. If needed, over-the-counter remedies are also helpful .

Most travelers adapt well. If you have a medical condition (e.g., asthma, heart issues), consult your doctor beforehand. Paced activities, rest, and hydration are key, and most days rise gradually in altitude.

We recommend one checked bag and a small daypack (max 5 kg) for tours and hikes. The train to Machu Picchu enforces a strict carry-on limit—checked luggage is stored securely at your hotel.

Absolutely! You can:

Add optional hikes like Huayna Picchu or Rainbow Mountain Red Valley (advance booking required, extra cost)

Upgrade train services (e.g., Vistadome, Hiram Bingham)

Extend your stay in places like Lima, Cusco, or the Amazon
Just let us know your preferences when booking.

The itinerary is suitable for moderately. You’ll be walking city tours, hiking Rainbow Mountain (up to 5,100 m), and some high-altitude trekking. Most days have 4–5 hours of easy to moderate activity. Always go at your own pace and listen to your guide.

No, only drink bottled or purified water. Avoid random street food if you have a sensitive stomach. Stick to peeled fruits or hot meals to prevent digestive issues
