Stay organized with a suitcase featuring integrated dividers and compartments. Compression straps are your allies, maximizing space and minimizing wrinkles.

Pack wisely, and you’ll be ready to experience the breathtaking wonders of Cusco and Machu Picchu comfortably!

Arriving in Cusco

Your adventure begins upon landing in Cusco! Note that Cusco airport only handles national flights. International travelers will need to land in Lima first, go through customs, and take a connecting flight to Cusco. Even if you’re on the same aircraft connecting the same day, ensure you collect your luggage in Lima and recheck it for Cusco.

Flying to Cusco is the most efficient option. Many airlines are available, with LAN being a known, though pricier, choice. However, keep some flexibility in mind, as the high-altitude climate of Cusco can sometimes cause delays or cancellations. For those traveling by road or from Puno, buses provide a comfortable alternative, though be prepared for a 20-hour journey from Lima.

Upon arrival, take a day or two to relax and acclimatize to the altitude (about 3,400 meters or 11,155 feet) to avoid altitude sickness. Stay hydrated, take it easy, and consider drinking some coca tea, a local remedy to help with altitude adjustment. Once acclimatized, you’re ready for your amazing exploration of Machu Picchu and beyond.

Arrival & Departure Transfers

As soon as you land in Cusco, our friendly team will meet you at the airport with a sign bearing the MaE Company logo. They’ll escort you to your hotel for a hassle-free experience. For your return, we will pick you up from your hotel 2 hours before your flight departure. The trip duration may vary, taking between 20 to 30 minutes.

Leaving Your Main Luggage Behind

Travel light during your Cusco Comfort Tour! Your main luggage will be securely stored at your hotel while you travel with just a small backpack containing the essentials: water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, camera, and any personal medications. This allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty and culture of Cusco and Machu Picchu without worrying about your baggage.

Bringing Cash

Cash is essential in Cusco and at the famous Machu Picchu. While larger shops accept credit cards, small purchases or incidental expenses along the way may require cash. It’s recommended to carry some Peruvian soles and small denominations of US dollars. ATMs are readily available in major cities, but fewer options exist in more remote areas. Don’t worry about exchanging currency beforehand—currency exchange facilities are available at the airports and cities.

Transportation

The 6-Day Cusco Comfort Tour ensures comfort and breathtaking views. You’ll travel in a luxury coach and panoramic train, both designed to relax in style while enjoying the surrounding scenic beauty. The buses are air-conditioned, with spacious seats, and the train rides offer expansive windows for immersive views of Peru’s countryside.

Comfortable Footwear

Prepare for intensive exploration! Walking through historical sites means varied terrain, from cobblestones to staircases. Be sure your shoes provide adequate support and cushioning to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. This preparation will ensure you enjoy every moment of your adventure without unwanted discomfort.

The Tour Guide

Your guide for the 6-Day Cusco Comfort Tour will be an expert with deep knowledge of the history, culture, and natural beauty of the region.

Group Composition

You’ll be joining a lively group of travelers from all over the world, offering you an intercultural exchange of ideas and stories. English is the main language used, ensuring smooth communication and mutual understanding. This will simplify your travel experience and encourage friendships as you all immerse yourselves in the majestic history and views of Machu Picchu.

Food

While breakfast at the hotel is included in your 6-Day Cusco Comfort Tour, lunch and dinner are left for you to discover. Explore Peru’s renowned cuisine at your own pace—whether in a cozy café or a top-tier restaurant. This flexibility allows you to plan a culinary experience that’s as memorable as the sights you’ll visit.

Altitude

Altitude sickness is something to consider during your adventure in Peru. With higher altitudes comes less oxygen, so it’s important to take a couple of days in Cusco to acclimatize before starting your trek into the Andes. Cusco, filled with vibrant attractions, is an ideal place to explore while your body adjusts. If you experience symptoms, contact us immediately. Our team and guides are equipped to assist you in managing any discomfort.

Weather

The weather in Cusco keeps you on your toes, adding an element of surprise to your journey. The dry season, from April to October, offers clear skies, though occasional showers can still occur. Be ready for sudden weather changes by packing waterproof gear, such as jackets and gloves, as the Andean microclimates can shift quickly. Bring layers, including a compact warm jacket for the cooler nights, to ensure comfort throughout your trip.

Travel Insurance

Protect your adventurous spirit with travel insurance. This essential item covers unexpected events, medical needs, or lost luggage, ensuring your finances stay secure. The registration process is simple and can be done from home, providing peace of mind for explorers like you as you dive into new experiences.
