Travel News from Peru, Cusco and Machu Picchu

If you are planning to come to Peru, Cusco and Machu Picchu are the most popular places to visit. They are known for their Inca Legacy, culture, and stunning scenery. Consider these recommendations during your trip:

  • Machu Picchu: It is an ancient Inca citadel located in Peru's highland forests. Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can reach it by taking a train from Cusco, and once you get to the town of Aguas Calientes, you can hike uphill or take a bus to the site entrance. The tour takes from 2 to 4 hours.
     
  • Entry Requirements: Most visitors require a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity. Depending on your nationality, you may also require a visa before your trip. For up-to-date information, contact the Peruvian embassy or consulate in your home country for advice.
     
  • Trekking and Hiking: The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous trekking routes in the world. You will need to obtain your permits in advance because they sell out quickly. Therefore, it's recommended to make arrangements through an authorized tour operator. Some alternative trails, like the Salkantay Trek or Lares Trek, are more accessible and might suit your interests better.
     
  • Altitude Considerations: Appropriate acclimatization is recommended because Cusco and Machu Picchu are at high altitudes. To avoid altitude sickness, take your time adjusting, drink plenty of water, and consult your healthcare professional if you have any previous medical issues before arriving.

We recommend verifying the current travel situation, restrictions, and any pertinent facts from official sources or travel agencies when planning to travel to Peru. It's also good to check the Peruvian government's and relevant authorities' travel advice and health protocols beforehand.
