Is Machu Picchu included in this package?

Yes. Machu Picchu is a core component of this 7-day tour and represents the highlight—the Lost City of the Incas.

How much walking and physical fitness is required?

The tour involves moderate walking at multiple high-altitude sites (11,000+ ft). Sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness help, though most visits are self-paced. Sacsayhuamán and Ollantaytambo require uphill walking.

The package includes 7 days of guided cultural and archaeological exploration with coach/minivan transport. Some meals, entrance fees, or optional activities may be additional—confirm details at booking.

How do I manage altitude sickness in Cusco?

Cusco sits at 11,150 ft (3,400 m). Arrive one day early to acclimatize, drink plenty of water, eat light meals, and consider coca tea or medication prescribed by your doctor. Most visitors adjust within 24–48 hours.

What food experiences are featured?

The package weaves local Peruvian cuisine throughout the week, highlighting regional dishes and traditional preparation methods. Specific meals vary, but expect exposure to local markets, family restaurants, and cultural dining contexts.

When is the best time to book this tour?

Book 2–3 months in advance, especially if traveling May–September (dry season). This ensures availability at Machu Picchu and preferred accommodation, as these dates are peak for Cusco tourism.

our guide Samir was nice enough, but a little local spot off the usual route felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, came away with 200+ photos.

our guide Aiko was brilliant and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and on a rainy sunday. Would book again no question.
