Insider tips

- ★In Sacred Valley, visit local markets on the day they occur in your chosen village (typically Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday) to see authentic trading and meet artisans
- ★Arrive in Cusco at least 1–2 days before Machu Picchu to acclimatize to 3,400m elevation and reduce altitude discomfort
- ★The panoramic train journey to Machu Picchu is spectacular at sunrise; confirm which departure time your package includes

- •The itinerary includes private guided tours; confirm group size and language of guides when booking
- •Standard Peru tourist visa requirements apply; check your nationality's entry conditions in advance
Who it's for
Best time to visit
May to September (dry season) offers the clearest skies for Nazca Lines flights and the most stable weather for Machu Picchu trekking. October to April brings rain to the highlands, though fewer crowds and lush landscapes appeal to some travellers.
