Essential Information – Machu Picchu Classic Tour 5 Days

Planning your journey with confidence is just as important as the journey itself. This essential guide for your Machu Picchu Classic Tour from Cusco provides everything you need to know before and during your trip—ensuring a smooth trip and unforgettable experience in Peru.

✈️ Arrival in Cusco – What You Need to Know

Your adventure begins in Cusco, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Currently, Cusco Airport operates only domestic flights, so all international flights will first arrive in Lima before connecting to Cusco. Even with same-day connections, you’ll need to collect your luggage in Lima, pass through customs, and re-check your bags.

Flying is the fastest and most convenient option, with several reputable airlines operating daily routes. However, due to Cusco’s high-altitude location, occasional delays can occur—so we recommend allowing some flexibility in your itinerary. Alternatively, bus travel is available from nearby regions such as Puno, offering scenic routes for those with extra time.

🏔️ Altitude & Acclimatization

Cusco sits at 3,400 meters (11,155 ft), and proper acclimatization is key to enjoying your Machu Picchu Classic Tour. We’ve designed this itinerary to give your body time to adjust before higher-altitude excursions like Rainbow Mountain.

Helpful tips:

• Take it easy on your first day
• Stay well hydrated
• Avoid heavy meals and alcohol initially

Recommended items:

• Passport (required for entry)
• Water, snacks, sunscreen, hat
• Camera and personal medications

This allows you to explore freely and comfortably without unnecessary weight.

• ATMs are available in Cusco and major towns
• Limited access in remote regions like Rainbow Mountain
