    Frequently Asked Questions

    Any questions?

    Yes. Cusco is located at 11,152 feet, so we recommend resting upon your arrival on the first day, staying well hydrated, and avoiding heavy meals before the City Tour.

    The guided tour inside the sanctuary lasts approximately 2 hours. Then, depending on your circuit, you will have time to take photos.

    The hike is of moderate to demanding difficulty due to the altitude. It takes about 1.5 hours each way. If you wish, you can rent a horse along the way directly from the locals.

    Tours run year-round, even in moderate rain. During the rainy season (December to March), it is essential to bring a good waterproof poncho.

    Yes, absolutely. Entrance tickets to Machu Picchu have strictly limited availability, so we strongly recommend booking several weeks or months in advance.
