Before You Travel

Arrival in Cusco

Your adventure begins in Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. Since international flights arrive through Lima, travelers connecting to Cusco must collect and recheck their luggage before their domestic flight.

Pre-Tour Briefing

Before departure, you’ll receive a personalized briefing with your guide. During this meeting, we’ll review the itinerary, answer your questions, and provide useful recommendations to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Travel Light and Comfortably

To maximize comfort during your Machu Picchu Luxury Tour, we recommend bringing only a small backpack with daily essentials.

Most hotels in Cusco offer complimentary luggage storage, allowing you to leave larger suitcases safely behind while traveling to Machu Picchu.

To help your body adjust naturally, we recommend:
