FAQ 1: When is the best time to visit Peru?

The best time to visit Peru is during the dry season, between May and October, which sees sunny days, bright blue skies in the Andes, and chilly nights. It is a wonderful time to be in Peru, especially if you plan to go on a trek, but being the peak season, early booking is crucial. Visitors will notice more rain between November and April, with the wettest months being January and February. Travel at this time does offer the advantage of fewer visitors, greener scenery, and some lower rates for flights and hotels.

FAQ 2: Can I upgrade to 4+* hotel?

Absolutely. We will be happy to upgrade your stay for an extra charge. Please write to us at team@adventuretripr.com or come chat with us on WhatsApp for your options and pricing.

FAQ 3: What is the temperature during day and night?

Because of high altitude temperatures can change quickly. It can get pretty cold during the nights. In winter (May-September) temperature may drop below 0°C/32°F.

FAQ 4: Can I get a single occupancy room?

The pricing includes accommodation based on double occupancy. Please write to us at team@adventuretripr.com or come chat with us on WhatsApp for single occupancy pricing.

FAQ 5: Can I upgrade to Vistadome train?

Absolutely, you can upgrade for extra charge. Please write to us at team@adventuretripr.com or come chat with us on WhatsApp for pricing.

Itinerary

Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 Day

DAY 1

Sacred Valley and Train to Aguas Calientes

You will be picked up from your hotel in Cusco at either 7 or 8 a.m., depending on what train you take back after your tour. Your tour guide will take you to the first stop, the Awanacancha Alpaca farm. Here, you will see the traditional animals of the Incas: llamas, alpacas, viñuna, and guanaco. Then, you will drive to El Mirador del Valle Sagrado, the Sacred Valley Lookout Point, for amazing views and photos.

You will visit the famous Pisaq Market, where women come down from the Andean villages to sell their textiles and vegetables. The market is open daily but is busiest on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

After the visit to the market, you will continue the journey up to the Pisaq Inca Archeological site, located on top of Pisaq Mountain in the Sacred Valley.

You will stop in Urubamba, for lunch, where you will have a fantastic selection of fresh dishes served buffet-style. After lunch, your guides will drive you to Ollantaytambo to see the second-heaviest Inca monoliths. The ruins have an impressive Temple of the Sun, Moon, and The Temple of the 10 Niches.

If your departing train is at 7 p.m., you will have time to explore more of the town and enjoy dinner. If your departing train is at 3:36 p.m., you will need to head to the train station and catch your train to Aguas Calientes, where you may have your dinner (the train schedule will depend on how far in advance you are booking and the availability of the train). Upon arrival, your guide will meet you just outside the train station and lead you to your hotel.
