Transfers In Cusco

The best time to visit Cusco is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During these months, you`ll find clear skies and less chance of rain, which is ideal for exploring archaeological sites like Machu Picchu and hiking. However, it`s important to book accommodation and tours in advance, as this is also peak tourist season.
Yes, Cusco is located at an altitude of approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, so it is common to experience altitude sickness or `soroche`. It is recommended to spend the first few days in the city to acclimatize, hydrate well, and avoid intense physical activities. It is also helpful to consume coca tea or coca candies to help with adaptation.
Cusco is generally safe for tourists, but as with any tourist destination, it`s important to take basic precautions. Always keep your belongings in sight, avoid uncrowded areas at night, and use official taxis. Tourist police are available and often very helpful for any questions or problems you may have during your visit.
In addition to Machu Picchu, there are several must-see sites in and around Cusco. These include the Plaza de Armas, the Cusco Cathedral, the Temple of the Sun (Qorikancha), the Sacred Valley, the Sacsayhuamán Ruins, and the citadel of Ollantaytambo. Each of these sites offers rich history and stunning views that complement your experience in Cusco.
To get to Machu Picchu from Cusco you have several options. The most popular is to take a train from Ollantaytambo or Poroy to Aguas Calientes, the closest town to Machu Picchu, and then take a bus up. Another option is to take the famous Inca Trail, a multi-day hike that culminates at the citadel. It is important to book any type of travel in advance, especially during the high season.
