The best time to visit Machu Picchu is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During these months, rains are less frequent, making it easier to access and enjoy the archaeological site. The months of June and July are particularly popular due to the pleasant weather, although they are also the busiest months. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, consider visiting in May or September.
To get to Machu Picchu from Cusco, most tourists take a train from either Poroy Station or Ollantaytambo Station to Aguas Calientes. From Aguas Calientes, it is a short bus ride or a hike of about 1.5 hours to the entrance of Machu Picchu. There is also the option of taking the Inca Trail, a multi-day hike that culminates at the Inca citadel.
Yes, it is highly recommended to purchase tickets to Machu Picchu in advance due to the limited number of daily visitors. Tickets can be purchased online through the official Peruvian government website or through authorized travel agencies. Tickets often sell out quickly, especially during peak season, so it is advisable to book several months in advance, especially if you plan to visit Huayna Picchu.
When visiting Machu Picchu, it is important to bring appropriate clothing for hiking and changes in weather. I recommend wearing light, breathable clothing, but also bringing a waterproof jacket due to the possibility of rain. Comfortable, grippy hiking shoes are essential due to the uneven and steep surfaces. Don`t forget sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a small backpack to carry water, snacks, and other essentials.
Machu Picchu is located at an altitude of approximately 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level. Although it is lower than the city of Cusco, some tourists may experience mild symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, nausea, or shortness of breath. To mitigate these effects, it is advisable to acclimatize beforehand in Cusco, stay well hydrated, and avoid alcohol. Coca leaves or coca tea are also popular natural remedies to prevent altitude sickness.
