What is included in the 10-day package?

The package covers guided tours in Lima, Cusco, and Puno; Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain excursions; and Lake Titicaca navigation. Accommodation, meals, and specific inclusions (flights, trains) vary by package tier—confirm details at booking.

Is this suitable for first-time Peru visitors?

Yes. This itinerary covers Peru's most essential destinations and cultural highlights in one trip, eliminating the need to prioritise. It's designed for travellers with limited time who want a comprehensive overview.

How do I prepare for high altitude?

Arrive in Cusco early to acclimatise for 1–2 days before hiking. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and consider consulting your doctor about altitude sickness prevention. Rainbow Mountain reaches 5,100m, so adequate preparation is essential.

What fitness level is required?

Moderate fitness is necessary. Rainbow Mountain involves a challenging hike at extreme altitude; Machu Picchu includes stairs and varied terrain. Training beforehand and acclimatisation reduce strain.

When is the best time to visit?

May to September (dry season) guarantees clearest skies, minimal rain, and optimal hiking conditions. Expect higher prices and more tourists; book accommodation and Machu Picchu permits in advance.

Bring sturdy hiking boots, layered clothing (temperatures vary 20°C+ daily), high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, a headlamp, and a warm jacket. At high altitude, sun intensity is severe despite cool air temperatures.

our guide Diego 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, 6 stops in about 3 hours.
