Machu Picchu is consistently the #1 travel destination in the world, why? The answer is simple: the experience is fascinating and unique.
You're not just driving up to the overlook, getting out of the car, and taking some pictures; you are traveling deep into South America, into the heart of the Andes. Stumbling upon the lost city of the Incas is only part of the journey.
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu is a dream for many people, but the planning can be a bit overwhelming. We've created some sample itineraries to give you a starting point for planning, and we're here to help with whatever you need. From booking hotels or airport transfers, let FLY CUSCO PERU TRAVEL AGENCY take care of all your logistics. They cover routes we've found to work particularly well and feature some of our favorite places to stay.
The former capital of the mighty Inca empire, the Peruvian city of Cusco, is a fabulous base from which to explore fascinating archaeological and historical sites, as well as enjoy time in nature. While the city has much to be proud of, much of the area's charm can be found beyond the city limits.
Here are some of the best day trips to do from Cusco for a fabulous Peruvian adventure.

Quality and safety service
Transportation
What to bring to the one day tour to Paracas and Huacachina?
Warm weather throughout the year. Light jacket/jersey for the motorboat trip to Ballestas. Closed shoes for sandboarding.
What to bring according to the weather?
The first impulse when knowing that the weather in Paracas is sunny is to wear the typical beach clothes: bathing suits, shorts and sandals, and that is fine, but you should know that, due to the winds, it is highly recommended that you bring a jacket light clothing and pants that protect you from the cold at night.
Your most important accessory in Paracas, apart from sunscreen, are sunglasses. You must protect your eyes against the sandy wind and against the sun, which can be inclement during the day: ideal for visiting some of the Reserve’s beaches.
If you are going to do the full day tour to Paracas to see the sea lions and Humboldt penguins, you should know that on the way in the boat you will surely feel a little cold. Especially since the tour is done very early in the morning to take advantage of the trip.
What is the weather like in Paracas?
Paracas is one of the favorite destinations in Peru, not only because of its spectacular coastline, but also because the climate in Paracas is one of the most delicious in the country: it is hot without being stifling, but the nights are cool thanks to the breeze that comes from the sea. .
Despite being very close to Lima, 254 km to be exact, the sky in Paracas is intense blue, almost cloudless, and this luminosity contrasts with the reddish earth of its cliffs. The sun burns strongly, but the sea is cold and it is precisely in these contrasts where its main attractions live. You can go for several days or do a full day tour to Paracas.

Very good service and attention. Impeccable and very comfortable logistics. The company's guide was very knowledgeable and allowed me to observe many things that I would have missed if I had not gone with him...
