Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to take the Peru Vacation package?

Peru can be visited year-round, but the best time to enjoy this complete tour is between April and October, when the weather is dry and stable—especially in the Andes region. During these months you can enjoy clear skies at Machu Picchu, Arequipa, and Lake Titicaca. If you travel between November and March, you’ll find fewer crowds and greener landscapes, perfect for photography and nature lovers.

What type of accommodation is included during the trip?

The Peru Vacation package includes carefully selected tourist-class hotels in each destination. All accommodations offer breakfast, private bathrooms with hot water, Wi-Fi, and 24-hour reception. Depending on your preference and budget, you may choose from 3-, 4-, or 5-star categories. You can also request room upgrades or extra nights in advance for greater comfort.

Is the Machu Picchu tour included in this package?

Yes, admission and a guided visit to Machu Picchu are fully included. This is one of the highlights of the journey. The package covers the train ride from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, the bus transfer to the Inca citadel, and a guided tour with a professional, licensed guide. You can also request access to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain for an additional cost, depending on availability.

Is it necessary to acclimatize before visiting Cusco and Lake Titicaca?

Yes, it’s recommended to spend at least one or two days acclimatizing, especially if you’re coming from sea level. Cusco sits at over 10,800 feet (3,300 m) above sea level, and Lake Titicaca is even higher at 12,500 feet (3,800 m). During the first days, try to rest, stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and drink coca-leaf or muña tea—traditional herbal infusions that help prevent altitude sickness (locally known as “soroche”).

Are domestic flights included in the package?

Domestic flights may be included depending on the selected option. Usually, routes such as Lima–Arequipa and Cusco–Lima can be added as optional extras. If you prefer to purchase flights on your own, the agency’s team will assist you with the ideal schedules to ensure all transfers and excursions run smoothly without time conflicts.

Yes, the program is suitable for travelers of all ages—families, couples, groups, and solo adventurers. The walking distances are moderate, and all major transfers are done by tourist transport. However, senior travelers or those with medical conditions should consult their doctor before the trip, due to the altitude in Cusco and Puno. The agency can also adapt the itinerary pace to each traveler’s comfort level.

What travel documents do I need to enter Peru?

Most Latin American and European citizens can enter Peru with a valid passport only. Some South American countries allow entry with a national ID card.
