Niveau d'activité

Facile

Under 5 km on foot a day, in short stretches with places to sit, and our vehicle close by. The ground is the hard part: Inca sites mean uneven stone paths and steps without handrails, and Machu Picchu has steps on every circuit, about 3 to 4 km over 2 to 3 hours at about 2,430 metres. Heights run from sea level in Lima to about 3,500 metres at Moray and 3,400 metres in Cusco. Every site has a flatter option, and you can sit any walk out.

Points forts

Pourquoi ce voyage

  • Two nights below Machu Picchu in Aguas Calientes, so the visit is one unhurried morning with the afternoon free, not a dash from the train
  • Two nights in every base, with a free afternoon every other day and no drive over about 2 hours
  • Moray's circular terraces from the rim and the Maras salt pans from the viewpoint above, then a seated lunch with a valley family
  • Ollantaytambo's Inca town and lower terraces at 9 am, before the day tours from Cusco
  • The panoramic-window train down the Urubamba gorge, both ways, in reserved seats
  • A Lima food morning in the Surquillo market and a ceviche lunch in Barranco
  • Sacsayhuamán by van, then the Cathedral and Qorikancha in one gentle Cusco morning

Arrive in Lima

Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) to your hotel in Miraflores

  • Welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Lima
  • Environ 1 h de route

Fly into Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) at any time. A driver meets you in arrivals with your name and carries your bags to the vehicle for the drive to Miraflores, about 20 km and usually under an hour, longer at rush hour. Miraflores sits on cliffs above the Pacific, and we stay here because the streets are flat, easy to walk after dark and close to cafés and restaurants. If you land early and feel like a stroll, the Malecón, the clifftop path of parks and gardens, has benches all along it and a level path to the Parque del Amor. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group in the hotel for a briefing on the week: the flight to Cusco, how we take the altitude, what to pack for Machu Picchu and how the pace works.

Soir

Then a short walk to an early welcome dinner of Peruvian dishes such as causa and lomo saltado, back at the hotel by about 9 pm. Later arrivals are briefed at breakfast.

Faune et météo : The dry season, roughly May to September, brings clear days, cold nights in the Andes and the most visitors at Machu Picchu; Cusco is busiest around Inti Raymi on 24 June. The rains run from about November to March, heaviest in January and February, with afternoon showers, cloud over the ruins and occasional train disruption. Lima is grey and cool from about June to October and sunny from December to April. For this trip the dry season's cold matters most: Andean nights can drop close to freezing from June to August, so a warm layer and a hotel with heating are worth more than a packed day. April, May, September and October are milder and quieter.

How slow is the pace, really?

Two nights in each of four bases, no drive over about 2 hours, under 5 km on foot a day and a free afternoon every other day. Most mornings leave at about 9 am or later; the exceptions are the flight to Cusco and the early bus up to Machu Picchu, and both are followed by rest.

Are there many stairs, and do the hotels have lifts?

Some, because Inca sites are built on steps. Every site has a flatter option: Moray from the rim, Ollantaytambo's lower terraces, the van up to Sacsayhuamán. Machu Picchu has steps on every circuit. We ask each hotel for a lift or a low-floor room, and tell you before you book if one has no lift.

Is the altitude safe for travellers over 60?

For most healthy travellers, yes, taken slowly. We sleep in the Sacred Valley and Aguas Calientes, lower than Cusco, for four nights before Cusco at about 3,400 metres. See your doctor first, especially with a heart or lung condition, and ask about altitude medicine. Tell your guide how you feel each day.

Can I come if I use a walking stick?

Yes, many travellers do, and walking poles help on Inca steps. You should be able to walk about 20 to 30 minutes at a time on uneven ground and manage some steps without handrails. If that sounds hard, call us before you book and we will tell you honestly which days would suit you.

What does the price include?

Eight nights in central hotels, the Lima to Cusco flight, the train to Machu Picchu and back in reserved seats, a Machu Picchu entry with every bus ride and a site guide, the Cusco tourist ticket and every other entry in the day plan, 8 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 3 dinners, airport transfers, your own vehicle and driver, and a See Sight Tours guide throughout.

How big is the group and who leads it?

7 to 12 guests, never more, led by a See Sight Tours guide from the Lima briefing to the Cusco airport. Machu Picchu's rules require a licensed site guide inside the citadel, so one joins us there, and local guides join at other sites where the rules ask for them. We name your guide when we confirm.

I'm travelling solo. What does a single room cost?

A room of your own costs from CAD 735 more, about 20 percent, shown before you request to book and never added later. If you would rather share, ask when you book and we tell you whether a share is possible on your departure.

When is the best time to go?

April, May, September and October suit this trip best: dry enough, milder at night and quieter than June to August, when Andean nights can drop close to freezing. From November to March the rains bring cloud over the ruins and the odd train disruption, heaviest in January and February.

How does booking work?

Pick your start date and request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. No payment is taken when you request, and the price is per person sharing a room, with taxes, from CAD 3,695 for the small group.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, at the same pace, from CAD 6,650 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we quote the same hotels, trains and tickets.

Do I need a visa for Peru?

Most visitors from Canada, the US, the UK and the EU do not need a visa for a tourist stay; check the rules for your own passport. Your passport must be valid for the whole trip and often for 6 months beyond it, so check your airline's rule, and we need its details when you book to issue your Machu Picchu, train and flight tickets.

How is this different from your Lima, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu by Train trip?

Same route, slower. This one spends two nights below Machu Picchu instead of one, so the visit has a day to itself, drops the Pisac ruins climb and the second Machu Picchu circuit, starts later and adds a lunch in Cusco. The other trip packs more in at a moderate pace.
