High peaks, Deep roots, Pure wonder

Machu Picchu is open year-round. The dry season (April to November) offers sunny days and stunning sunrises. The wet season (December to March) brings lush green landscapes and fewer crowds. Every month has its own magic, and we operate tours 365 days a year.

Altitude sickness can affect visitors above 2,500 meters (8,000 feet). We recommend eating lightly, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding alcohol upon arrival. Most of our itineraries are designed to help you acclimatize by visiting the Sacred Valley first. Oxygen is available upon request.

The Classic Inca Trail is a moderate-to-challenging hike on ancient stone paths. The Salkantay Trek is considered slightly more challenging due to the distance and altitude but offers more diverse scenery and fewer crowds. Both require a reasonable level of fitness.

Most of our packages include breakfast at your hotel and selected lunches, especially during full-day tours (often "farm-to-table" experiences). Trekking packages (Inca Trail/Salkantay) include all meals prepared by our chefs. Check your specific itinerary for details.

The most common and comfortable way is by train (Vistadome or Expedition) from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, followed by a short bus ride. All our tours include private transfers and train tickets, ensuring a seamless journey from your hotel to the citadel.

Most travelers from North America and Europe do not need a visa for tourism. You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Your passport is required to enter Machu Picchu and board trains.
