- ★Book Machu Picchu entry and train tickets in advance—slots fill quickly, especially June–August
- ★Bring layers: Andean temperatures swing 20°C+ between sun and shade, and nights are cold year-round in the highlands
- ★Negotiate transport with local guides in Puno and Cusco for better rates on private excursions
Good to know

- •Boat tours (Ballestas Islands, Lake Titicaca) operate year-round but rougher seas June–September
