Cusco is located at approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, so acclimatization is key: rest for the first 24–48 hours, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and heavy meals, and consider Andean herbal teas or medication for altitude sickness (consult a doctor beforehand). Machu Picchu is lower, at around 2,430 meters. The dry season (May–September) is ideal for trekking and photography, with cool mornings and clear skies; the rainy season (November–March) offers fewer visitors and lush green landscapes, but possible showers. April and October are transitional months. Purchase travel insurance and plan ahead during peak season to secure train and entrance tickets.

For the Cusco Express tour and the Machu Picchu excursion, bring a valid passport (or national ID for Peruvian citizens), layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, a fleece jacket, comfortable non-slip shoes, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle, and snacks. Carry cash in soles and a chip card; the voltage in Peru is 220V (a universal adapter is recommended). If you qualify for the student rate, bring your valid student ID. Small backpacks are permitted at Machu Picchu; items such as drones or tripods are restricted. Keep your digital train, bus, and time-slot entrance vouchers handy. Consider using walking sticks with rubber tips and a basic first-aid kit. Purchase travel insurance with medical assistance.

You can book the Cusco Express package online with email confirmation and e-vouchers. During peak season, it's best to book 30–60 days in advance. Many agencies accept credit/debit cards, bank transfers, or secure payment platforms. A deposit is usually required to guarantee entrance fees and train tickets; the balance is due before the tour begins. Cancellation policies vary: services like train tickets and Machu Picchu entrance fees may be non-refundable or subject to penalties; other services may have flexible cancellation options within certain timeframes. Date changes are subject to availability. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unforeseen events.
