Departure
1
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. At the appropriate time, you will be transferred from your hotel to the Cusco airport for your departure, concluding your memorable Peruvian adventure.
A valid passport is required for all travelers. Please bring it with you daily, especially for the Machu Picchu visit.
Due to train regulations, passengers are typically allowed one small day pack or carry-on bag (maximum 5 kg or 11 lbs) per person on the train to Machu Picchu. Your main luggage will be stored at your Cusco hotel and reunited with you upon your return.
While not strictly mandatory, we highly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers unforeseen circumstances such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and personal accidents. It provides peace of mind throughout your journey.
Children are generally welcome on this tour. There are no strict age restrictions for the main activities, but parents should consider the walking involved during the city tour and at Machu Picchu. Please inform us if you are traveling with young children so we can provide any necessary assistance or recommendations.
The dry season, from April to October, is generally considered the best time to visit due to clearer skies and less rain, making it ideal for sightseeing and exploring. However, this is also peak tourist season. The shoulder months (April, May, September, October) often offer good weather with fewer crowds.
Cusco is at a high altitude (3,400 m.a.s.l. / 11,155 ft). We recommend taking it easy on your first day, staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and consuming light meals. Consult your doctor about preventative medication if you are concerned. Symptoms usually subside within 24-48 hours as your body acclimatizes.
