Insider tips
- ★Arrive in Cusco 2–3 days early to acclimatize to high altitude (3,400 m); the extra time in 4-star lodging makes this easier than rushed 4-day versions
- ★Pack layers for Rainbow Mountain; it sits at 5,100 m with sudden weather swaps; the supplied equipment is modern but bring your own insulated jacket
- ★Request the sunrise gate slot for Machu Picchu (usually 6:00 AM); private groups often secure better time windows than large operators

- •Price includes 4-star hotel stays, all meals, guides, porters, and camping equipment; confirm what's excluded (flights, travel insurance, gratuities)
- •Departure points vary by date; confirm exact start location and group size before booking

Early morning starts (before 8:00 AM) on each trekking day maximize light and minimize afternoon rainfall.
