Your adventure in Peru

"Due to the altitude, having a guide is really important. Knowing there is someone with experience to guide you along makes you feel at ease. Bonus - the chef will make fun lunches like this!"

"I think this is somewhere on almost everyone's list. I loved seeing it in person and learning about the Incas and the history of Machu Picchu. The clouds gave it such a mysterious feel that I loved!"

"There is SO much to learn about this astonishing place. An experienced guide will explain to you why the Incas built this city in the mountains and answer all your questions about it!"

"Unless you're already on a tour, try to get the earliest ticket to visit here to get fewer crowds. Be patient with the crowds and take in the beauty around you. And remember, everyone is trying to get the perfect picture!"

"Explore one of the best sights in all of South America – Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the modern world."

"A lot of solo travellers just like me who showed up at the entrance without a guide. Don’t be shy and make friends and hire a guide together. Guided tour lasted about 3hrs depending which circuit. "

"The fascinating history, extraordinary architectural works of Incas and spectacular scenery. Machu Picchu on a clear day is breathtaking."

"- Beware of the really challenging hikes down and up the Canyon! As you are moving at an altitude between 2000 and 3000m above sea level, that is not to be underestimated. "

"What fascinated me most about Colca Canyon is its authenticity - the original and intact cultural experience within a breathtaking landscape is something that visitors will never forget. "

"You can not tour the Colca Canyon without a tour guide! It is also very beneficial as they can explain a lot about the local Peruvian culture and the secrets behind terrace agriculture."

"The magic of the place. It is wonderful to be in a place with so much history and in such an enclave."

"Book at least 2 months in advance. Sleep in Aguas Calientes the night before to enjoy its magic. Always carry a mackintosh in case of rain."

"Visit Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu before, even Lake Titicaca and Colca Valley, if you are going to visit that area, to acclimatize to the altitude (5.000 mt. approx)."

"Don't waste too much time if there is a queue at the base of the mountain. The best photos are with the animals and on the mountain in front of you."

"If you can, talk to your guide about going to the Red Valley. It is not very physically demanding and the experience is incredible."

"The experience is unique, there are no tourists and the hike and views are incredible."

"A visit to Machu Picchu is a must. It's probably the most famous destination in Peru and without a doubt one of my favourites to explore. If you're a fan of hiking, this one's for you. "

"Visit during the dry and quiet season, between April and May. It's less crowded during this time, but you may bump into the odd llama! "
