What is the best time to do the excursion?
Peru is a very large country with many different climates, for that reason it would be very difficult to define a good time to visit different places. However, we consider that the best season is from April to December. From January to May is the rainy season in Cusco in the rest of the country it is sunny – summer.
Where will the information session take place?
Our representative will meet you at the airport in Lima – Peru, while we take you to your hotel we will give you an overview of what you can expect on this 13-day tour. Or if you prefer, in the hotel lobby once you have checked in and are comfortable.
What do I have to bring?
What to bring: original passport, well-charged cameras, sunglasses, comfortable clothes and shoes, hat, sunscreen, repellent, extra power battery, jacket, small backpack with enough clothes for daily changes. It is your choice.
Can I store my luggage when I travel to Machu Picchu? ?
Of course! During the trip to Machu Picchu, you can leave or store the things that you will not take to Machu Picchu in the hotel where you are staying. Most of these establishments have warehouses where they will store your things (at no extra cost). This day take a small backpack or suitcase with enough clothes to spend the night in Aguas Calientes.
PRICE: US$ 1900 per person
PRE-PAYMENT: US$ 1200 per person

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...
