【Peru - Machu Picchu】A 2-night, 3-day plan to conquer the Inca aerial city

The key to enjoying Machu Picchu is mastering the "how to get there." Start by staying overnight in Cusco to acclimate to the altitude! On Day 1, explore the streets of Cusco, adapt to the high altitude, and visit Inca ruins. In the evening, savor alpaca dishes and soup while preparing for the next day 🍲

Day 2 is the long-awaited journey to Machu Picchu 🚉
Take the PeruRail train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu Village. Upon arrival, head to the entrance of the ruins by bus. Spend the morning on a guided tour of the Machu Picchu ruins, and in the afternoon, hike up Huayna Picchu or to the Sun Gate 👟. The breathtaking views from above are even more stunning than photos can capture.

On Day 3, revisit Machu Picchu in the morning. The ruins shrouded in morning mist are mystical, allowing you to feel the breath of ancient civilization in the tranquility 🌄. Afterward, return to Cusco by train, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy Peruvian cuisine to wrap up your trip.

To fully experience Machu Picchu, plan for a solid two-day visit, considering weather and crowds. This ensures you can thoroughly enjoy the spectacular World Heritage site.
