Is acclimatisation included before heading to high altitude?

The tour begins in Cusco (3,400m). Most operators recommend arriving in Cusco 1–2 days early to acclimatise. On day one, you'll explore Sacred Valley sites at slightly lower elevations (2,430–3,100m), which helps. Drink coca tea and avoid alcohol to ease adjustment.

What time does sunrise happen at Machu Picchu?

Sunrise occurs between 5:30–6:30am depending on season. Early entry (around 6am) allows you to photograph the site before 9am when most day visitors arrive. You'll typically enter Machu Picchu in the pre-dawn hours.

Does the tour include the Vistadome train back, or is it optional?

The itinerary specifies the Panoramic Vistadome train is included in the return journey from Aguas Calientes to Cusco on day two. Confirm with your operator whether this is standard or a premium add-on.

How much walking is involved each day?

Day one involves moderate walking (3–5 hours total) across Moray terraces, Salineras, and Ollantaytambo fortress—mostly on established paths with some uneven terrain. Day two at Machu Picchu is typically 2–3 hours of guided exploration. Fitness level: moderate with good stamina for altitude.

Are meals and accommodation included?

The listing does not specify meal or accommodation inclusions. Confirm whether your booking covers hotel, breakfasts, lunches, or dinners. Most operators include at least one overnight stay in Aguas Calientes near Machu Picchu.

What's included in the EUR 436 price?

This is the starting price; exact inclusions vary by operator. Typically covered: local guide, transport, Moray/Salineras/Ollantaytambo entry, Vistadome train, and Machu Picchu entrance ticket. Meals, accommodation, and tips are usually separate—verify when booking.

our guide Samir couldnt do enough for us and a cheetah on the hunt was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Blew our bali one out of the water, and spotted maybe 30 species. Would book again no question.
