Visiting Wonder of the World

MACHU PICCHU

Hidden high in the Peruvian Andes, the Machu Picchu citadel is an extraordinary 15th-century Incan royal sanctuary. In its heyday, this mountaintop estate featured fine temples, royal palaces, agricultural terraces, and residential quarters built with interlocking stone architecture.

Thanks to the sheer cloud forest valleys surrounding the site, Machu Picchu remained untouched by Spanish conquistadors, leaving its mystical spiritual essence preserved for eternity.

"If you are seeking an alternate trek without the strict permit limits of the Classic Inca Trail, consider the Salkantay Trek or the Lares Cultural Route for breathtaking glaciers and authentic Andean communities."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about planning, booking, and trekking in Peru with our native local specialists.

Official permits for the Classic Inca Trail (4 or 2 days) and Machu Picchu circuits are strictly limited by the Peruvian government to protect cultural heritage. We recommend booking 4 to 6 months in advance for peak season (May to October). For alternate treks like Salkantay, Lares, or Choquequirao, reserving 3 to 6 weeks in advance is generally sufficient.

Cusco sits at 3,400 meters (11,150 feet) above sea level. We recommend arriving in Cusco at least 48 to 72 hours before starting any multi-day trek. During your first days, drink plenty of water, sip traditional coca or muña leaf tea, eat light meals, and avoid alcohol. All our expedition guides carry emergency medical oxygen tanks and digital pulse oximeters.

All our expeditions include door-to-door private hotel transfers in Cusco, all official archaeological permits and entrance tickets, scenic train tickets (Expedition or Vistadome), licensed bilingual Quechua guides, professional mountain chefs preparing fresh hot meals, premium 4-season Eureka/Doite tents, and comprehensive first-aid safety kits.

You can reserve your preferred departure date with an initial deposit (typically 30%) using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or PayPal through our encrypted checkout. The remaining balance can be settled in Cusco during your pre-trek briefing in cash (USD or Peruvian Soles) or with a credit card.

Yes, absolutely! Our professional backcountry mountain chefs take pride in preparing fresh, delicious gourmet meals on the trail. We easily cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergen-safe requirements at no additional cost. Just notify us when completing your booking form.

No! During your pre-trek briefing in Cusco, we provide a sturdy duffel bag. Our mountain crew (porters on the Inca Trail or horsemen on Salkantay and Ausangate) carries up to 7 kg (15 lbs) of your gear, including your sleeping bag and clothing. You only need to carry a small daypack with water, camera, sun protection, and a rain jacket.

The dry Andean season runs from May to October, featuring blue skies, crisp sunny days, and cold mountain nights. The green season (November to April) brings emerald landscapes, warmer evenings, and fewer visitors, with rain typically occurring as afternoon showers.

Per Peruvian governmental regulations, Inca Trail and Machu Picchu permits are non-refundable and non-transferable. However, for all other services (trains, transport, private guides), we offer flexible date rescheduling up to 30 days prior to departure. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance with trip interruption coverage.
