Helpful answers

Peru FAQs

Useful guidance before choosing your destinations and experiences.

Where should first-time visitors begin?

Many visitors start in Lima before flying to Cusco. Allow time to acclimatise, explore the Sacred Valley and then continue to Machu Picchu.

How long should I spend in Peru?

Ten days suits Lima and the classic southern route. Two weeks allows a calmer pace or the addition of Arequipa, Lake Titicaca or the Amazon.

How far ahead should I plan Machu Picchu?

Plan well in advance because entry circuits, train seats and popular hiking permits are limited. Confirm the current rules before committing to transport.

When is the best time to visit?

The Andean dry season is popular for hiking and clearer conditions, while regional weather varies considerably between the coast, mountains and Amazon.

Begin in the Inca capital

Start with Cusco’s stone streets, remarkable history and gateway journeys into the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
