Recommendations for 4-Day Machu Picchu Tour

Recommendations to Visit  Machu Picchu:

  1. Secure your Machu Picchu entrance tickets and any additional permits (like Huayna Picchu) well ahead of your travel dates, especially during peak season.
  2. Spend at least a couple of days in Cusco (3,400 meters / 11,200 feet) to acclimatize to the altitude before visiting Machu Picchu (2,430 meters / 7,970 feet).
  3. Book your train tickets from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) in advance, as they can sell out, especially during peak times.
  4. Respect the rules and regulations to visit Machu Picchu, including restrictions on bringing certain items and following designated paths.

Weather on Machu Picchu:

  • Dry Season (May to October): Generally sunny days with colder nights. Rainfall is less frequent during this period.
  • Wet Season (November to April): Expect occasional heavy rain showers, especially in the afternoons. Weather can be unpredictable, so waterproof clothing is advisable.

Tips to Visit Machu Picchu:

  • Use sunscreen, wear a hat, and bring sunglasses to protect against strong sun at high altitude.
  • Carry a refillable water bottle. Staying hydrated helps mitigate the effects of altitude.
  • Dress in layers for temperature changes throughout the day. Comfortable walking shoes with good traction are essential for exploring the site.
  • Bring snacks for energy, as food options are limited inside Machu Picchu.

How to Dress to visit Machu Picchu:

  • Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a fleece or jacket for warmth, and have a waterproof outer layer in case of rain.
  • Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots with good grip for navigating uneven terrain and climbing stairs.

  • Drones are not allowed within the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary without special permission.
  • Respect the site’s cultural and historical significance by not touching or climbing on structures unless permitted by guides.

Physical Preparation:

  • Machu Picchu involves walking and climbing stairs, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. Prepare by doing regular walking or hiking to build endurance.
  • Take it easy upon arrival in Cusco to adjust to the altitude. Avoid strenuous activities until fully acclimatized.
