What months work best for this 4-day setup?
Dry times from May to September give clear days and less wet, easing paths in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Visitor numbers peak then, so plan ahead. Wet months from November to March show greener landscapes but more rain; proper rain gear helps. Daytime temperatures average around 15°C, and any period works with proper altitude preparation.
How to deal with height effects on the trip?
Cusco at 3,400 meters can bring headaches or nausea. Drink plenty of water, eat light meals at first, and rest on the first day as the itinerary allows. Local coca tea helps with mild symptoms. Guides carry oxygen if issues continue; consult a doctor before travel if you are prone to altitude effects, as over 30% of visitors feel some symptoms.
Does this fit families with kids?
Families do this tour, but note the walking at places like Ollantaytambo. Children under 12 receive ticket discounts, and guides slow the pace for younger travelers. Hotels offer family spaces, and meals include kid-friendly options with fruits. Keep children well hydrated at altitude; free time in Aguas Calientes allows easy activities like market visits.
Fitness needed for activities?
Moderate fitness is sufficient, with daily walks of 1 to 3 hours on slopes and uneven paths. Machu Picchu has steps, but breaks are taken regularly. Travelers with mobility difficulties can request slower groups. No strenuous climbs are included unless Huaynapicchu is added; good shoes and following guide-recommended rests are important.
Can I change the plan?
BIO ANDEAN EXPEDITIONS allows adjustments such as extra nights or different hotels. Contact them before booking to add activities like classes in Cusco. Costs may change, but the main visits to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu remain. This helps tailor the trip to personal interests.
Currency to carry?
US dollars are widely accepted, but Peruvian soles are better for small market purchases. ATMs in Cusco provide both, and airport exchange offers reasonable rates. Cards are accepted at hotels and on trains, but cash is needed for tips and rural areas. Around $80 USD per person usually covers extras over four days.
Vegetarian foods offered?
Restaurants offer vegetarian meals using local products like potatoes and quinoa. Inform BIO ANDEAN EXPEDITIONS in advance to arrange meals. The focus is on organic ingredients, with salads and grains common. International vegetarian options may cost extra but add variety if desired.
Safety for solo travelers?
Cusco and the Sacred Valley are generally safe for tourists, with constant support from BIO ANDEAN EXPEDITIONS. Stay with groups and avoid being alone at night. Petty theft can occur in crowds, so use hotel safes for valuables. Guides provide safety tips, making the trip comfortable for solo travelers.
Flight late what happens?
If your flight is delayed, inform BIO ANDEAN EXPEDITIONS using the provided contacts. They reschedule the pickup at no extra charge, with staff waiting or arranging a later transfer. You will join the city tour or adjust free time while keeping the rest of the itinerary intact.
Wi-Fi during the tour?
Hotels in Cusco and Aguas Calientes provide free Wi-Fi, though speeds vary in remote areas. Some trains offer Wi-Fi, but it is not consistent. Use it for basic needs and download maps offline in advance. The agency can suggest places with better connections if work is required.
Add nights in Aguas Calientes?
Yes, extra nights can be added through BIO ANDEAN EXPEDITIONS for hot springs visits or additional time at Machu Picchu. Prices start around $90 USD per night, including breakfast. This allows a relaxed pace without rushing after the guided visit.
Animals to see?
In the valley, you may see llamas and alpacas at stops and markets. Near Machu Picchu, birds and small animals appear among the vegetation. Guides point out Andean species such as vicuñas in open areas. There are no dangerous animals, though insect repellent is useful in warmer zones.
Souvenirs how to buy?
Pisac markets sell textiles and pottery at fair prices; polite bargaining is common. Check quality and authenticity of materials. San Blas in Cusco has unique artisan shops. Budget about $40 to $150 USD depending on interests; some places accept cards, but cash is preferred.
Medical help if needed?
Guides carry first aid for minor issues, and hotels can connect you to clinics. For serious situations, the agency arranges transport to medical facilities in Cusco. Travel insurance covers most cases, and altitude medication is available locally. Prevent problems by acclimatizing slowly according to the itinerary.
Age limits?
There are no strict age limits, but travelers over 70 or under 5 should consult a doctor about altitude. Guides adapt walks for older guests with shorter distances. Teens enjoy the historical aspects, and the balanced pace suits a wide range of ages.

From November to January — especially in December — Machu Picchu Circuit 2 tickets, the most complete and popular route we usually include, are sold out on many dates.
For new bookings with departures during these months, if Circuit 2 is not available for your travel date, we will secure Circuit 3 first (lower urban sector with a longer, more immersive walk) or, if that is also unavailable, Circuit 1 (upper panoramic area with the iconic postcard view). All options are subject to availability.
