Answers from our Peru travel experts to help you plan with confidence.
How many days do you need for a trip to Peru?
We recommend at least 7 to 10 days to enjoy Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu at a comfortable pace, with time to acclimatize. With two weeks you can add Lake Titicaca, the Amazon or the Colca Canyon.
What is the best time of year to visit Peru?
Peru is a year-round destination. The dry season (May to September) brings sunny days to Machu Picchu, Cusco and the Sacred Valley, while the green season (October to April) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds. The Inca Trail closes every February for maintenance.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu?
Entrance tickets to Machu Picchu, particularly for the most sought-after circuits, should be reserved at least three months in advance. Inca Trail permits and the dry season sell out even earlier.
Should I stay overnight near Machu Picchu?
Spending a night in Aguas Calientes lets you visit the citadel early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when it is quieter, and makes the day far less rushed than a round trip from Cusco.
Are private tours in Peru worth it?
Yes. Private guides, transfers and schedules let you travel at your own pace, adapt each day to your interests and enjoy the main sites with more comfort and personal attention.
Can you customize a Peru trip around my interests?
Every journey we design is tailor-made. A dedicated travel advisor shapes the itinerary around your interests, travel style and pace, from gastronomy and culture to nature and adventure.
