What's included in the 6-day itinerary?

The tour typically covers accommodation, guided walking tours in Lima and Cusco, entry to Machu Picchu, domestic flights, and ground transport. Confirm meal coverage and optional activities (e.g., Sacred Valley side trips) when booking.

How do I prepare for altitude in Cusco?

Cusco sits at 3,400m. Arrive a day early if possible, drink water constantly, avoid alcohol initially, and consider coca tea (a traditional remedy). The itinerary's gradual progression from Lima helps your body acclimate.

Will I have time to explore Lima beyond guided tours?

Most 6-day itineraries allocate 1–2 days in Lima with mix of guided exploration and free time. Ask your operator about unguided afternoon options in neighbourhoods like Miraflores or Barranco.

What's the physical difficulty level?

Moderate. Machu Picchu involves uphill walks on stone steps and uneven terrain; walking tours in cities are leisurely-paced. Good fitness helps, but regular walkers manage comfortably with proper footwear.

Is this a spiritual or mystical experience?

The tour emphasises cultural immersion and historical significance. 'Connecting your energies' reflects Peru's spiritual heritage and the transformative nature of these landscapes—not esoteric practices. Expect archaeology, history, and cultural storytelling.

How many people travel in the group?

Typically small groups (8–15 people) for personalised attention and easier logistics at archaeological sites. Confirm exact group size when booking.

Insider tips

★Arrive in Lima 1–2 days early to acclimatise before heading to high-altitude Cusco (3,400m); the gradual itinerary helps minimise altitude sickness
★Book the Machu Picchu segment early—daily visitor numbers are capped; morning entry offers clearer views and fewer crowds
★Learn basic Spanish phrases; guides often share stories that resonate more when you engage conversationally

Good to know

•Includes domestic flights (Lima–Cusco–Lima) and most ground transport; confirm what meals are covered
•Machu Picchu requires moderate fitness for uphill walking and uneven Incan stone paths
•Bring sun protection, sturdy walking shoes, layers for temperature changes (Cusco mornings are cool; midday warm), and a water bottle
•Altitude acclimatisation advised; stay hydrated and pace activities on arrival in Cusco

Who it's for
