We will pick you up at 4:00 – 4:30 am from any hotel, Airbnb, or hostel in Cusco. It will be a 2½ hour drive to the trailhead – we will arrive at around 7 am. Here at the trailhead, our chef will make a delicious breakfast, including coffee, hot chocolate, teas, bread, fruit salad, eggs, and hot drinks. Cusco’s elevation is 3300m / 11,300ft, and the trailhead called Phulawasipata is at 4200m/ 14,300ft. Cusco’s weather is usually quite cold, and the trailhead is even colder, so early in the morning. Be sure to bring a warm jacket, scarf, hat, and gloves. After breakfast, we’ll hike about 2 hours uphill to the Rainbow Mountain range. At a slower pace, it could be 2¾ hours, or if you are really fit quick and acclimatized well, some people can do in 1½ hours. The hike up includes some short breaks where the guide will explain some important information about the mountains and the geography of the area. Perhaps you’ll have a chance to catch sight of some of the locals, including llamas and alpacas that frequent this area. The trail itself is quite wide and helpful for those with vertigo or fear of heights. The trek is best during the dry season as the trails are not paved. The trail can be a bit dusty, and in the rainy season, it can be slippery since it may be wet. However, with good waterproof hiking shoes and trekking poles, it will be just fine.
Upon your arrival to the top of Rainbow Mountain, around 9-10:00am, you will have about 1 hour to explore the spectacular views of the surrounding areas – valleys, mountains and to view the highest glacial mountain in Cusco – Ausangate, whose summit is at an elevation of 6,384m / 20,944ft, making it one of the tallest mountains in Peru. After giving you a bit of time to take some treasured photos, your guide will tell you some intriguing facts about this fascinating place – like why the colors?! – and he will also share some detail about the Inkan history. A few last photos of this spectacular mountain and we will begin our descent. We do this a little differently than other groups. Instead of hiking the same route as they do, we hike to a lookout point to see the Red Valley and continue with our hike. This valley is the icing on the cake, and many of our hikers say that it is even nicer than Rainbow Mountain! It is about 2½ hours mostly downhill from Rainbow Mountain, to the end of the trail, which is near where we started the hike. Here you will enjoy a fresh meal prepared by your chef, which includes cold drinks, appetizers, soup, and the main course. After lunch, it will be another 2½ hour drive to Cusco, where we will drop you off at your hotel at around 5:30 – 6:00 pm.

I hope this travel guide helps you plan your visit to Machu Picchu. This ancient site is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and is sure to be a highlight of your trip to Peru.
Machu Picchu is an ancient Incan city that is located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. It was built in the 15th century and is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites in South America.
The most common way to get to Machu Picchu is to take a train from the city of Cusco to the town of Aguas Calientes, followed by a bus up to the site. Alternatively, you can also hike to Machu Picchu along the famous Inca Trail, but this requires advance planning and permits.
There is an entrance fee to visit Machu Picchu, which varies depending on the type of ticket you purchase. You can choose between a standard ticket, which allows you to visit the site for a day, or a more expensive ticket that allows for a longer visit, as well as access to some of the other nearby ruins.
The best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season, from May to September. During the rainy season, from October to April, the site can be quite damp and foggy.
Yes, you can hike to Machu Picchu along the famous Inca Trail, but this requires advance planning and permits. There are also several other trekking routes that allow you to reach the site, including the Salkantay Trek and the Lares Trek.
Machu Picchu is generally considered to be a safe site to visit, but it’s always important to take basic safety precautions. Stay on the designated paths, be mindful of the steep drop-offs, and watch your step on the uneven ground.
Most people spend at least half a day to a full day at Machu Picchu, exploring the site and taking in the views. However, if you have a longer visit ticket, you may choose to spend more time at the site.
