Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley
Machu PicchuCusco, Peru 🇵🇪Ten days, two of them spent doing nothing in Cusco so the altitude doesn't win. Book the Machu Picchu tickets months ahead.
-
Two slow days in Cusco first 3,400 metres. Coca tea, short walks, no pisco sours yet.
-
Sacsayhuamán The walls above Cusco. Try to fit a card between the stones.
-
San Pedro Market Fresh juice at the counters at the back.
-
The Maras salt pans Thousands of pools on a hillside. Pair it with Moray's terraces.
-
A night in Ollantaytambo Sleep here before Machu Picchu. The fortress terraces at dusk.
-
The train through the Sacred Valley Sit on the left going down to Aguas Calientes.
-
Machu Picchu on the first bus The 5:30 bus. The cloud usually lifts by eight.
-
Walk up to the Sun Gate The view the Inca runners had, arriving.
-
Huayna Picchu A separate ticket that sells out months ahead. Steep. Worth it.
