Planning a trip to Machu Picchu and the Andes raises many questions. From Inca Trail permits and the best time to go to altitude sickness and what to pack, here are the answers to the questions our travelers ask most, so you can prepare for a hassle-free trip to Peru.
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.
Yes, absolutely. Daily tickets are limited and sell out months in advance. Booking your tour with Qosqo Expeditions ensures that we secure your permits and entrance tickets for your preferred dates, so you don't have to worry about availability.
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.
Yes, Peru is a safe destination for tourists. At Qosqo Expeditions, your safety is our priority. We provide 24/7 assistance, private transportation, and experienced local guides to ensure a secure and worry-free experience throughout your journey.
Weather in the Andes is unpredictable. We recommend dressing in layers (t-shirts, fleece, and a down jacket). Essentials include comfortable hiking boots, a rain poncho, sunblock, sunglasses, insect repellent, and a daypack. For treks, we provide a detailed packing list.
Absolutely. We specialize in tailor-made experiences. Whether you want to add a day in the Amazon, upgrade to a luxury hotel, or hike Rainbow Mountain, our Destination Specialists can modify any itinerary to suit your interests and pace.
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.
