1. Choose the Right Time to Visit

  • Consider the weather: The best time to visit is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. The weather is mild, with clear skies and less chance of rain.
  • Avoid crowded periods: If you prefer fewer tourists, plan your trip outside of peak seasons like June and July.

  • Explore different accommodation options: Cusco offers a wide range of hotels, hostels, and guesthouses to suit every budget.
  • Look for central locations: Choose a place to stay in the heart of the city, allowing easy access to attractions, restaurants, and transportation.

3. Acclimatize to the High Altitude

  • Take it slow: Cusco sits at around 3,400 meters (11,150 feet) above sea level, so it’s essential to allow time for acclimatization. Rest and hydrate during your first few days to avoid altitude sickness.
  • Drink coca tea: Local remedies like coca tea can help with mild altitude symptoms. It’s widely available and known for its benefits.

4. Explore the Sacred Valley

  • Book a guided tour: Discover the beauty of the Sacred Valley with a knowledgeable guide who will share fascinating tales of Inca history and culture.
  • Visit Pisac and Ollantaytambo: These archaeological sites offer a glimpse into the ancient Inca civilization and boast stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.

5. Conquer Waynapicchu

  • Get your adrenaline pumping: Embark on an unforgettable hike up Waynapicchu, the towering peak overlooking the iconic Machu Picchu. Be prepared for steep staircases and breathtaking views.
  • Secure your permits: Due to its popularity, a limited number of permits are available each day. Make sure to secure yours in advance to guarantee your spot.

6. Immerse Yourself in Cusco’s Culture

  • Explore the city’s historic center: Wander through the enchanting streets of Cusco, marveling at the colonial architecture and visiting the impressive Plaza de Armas.
  • Indulge in local cuisine: Don’t miss the opportunity to try traditional Peruvian dishes like ceviche, lomo saltado, and cuy (guinea pig) in the local restaurants.
