Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and a route that respects the altitude.

Peru is more than Machu Picchu, but Machu Picchu is part of why most people come. This guide structures the trip so the altitude lands before the trek, the Sacred Valley earns its name, and the route gives you Lima's food scene without making it an afterthought.

What's Inside

  • A 12-day Lima-Cusco-Sacred Valley-Machu Picchu route
  • Altitude pacing: the order that actually prevents the headache
  • Machu Picchu access: Inca Trail vs. train vs. shorter alternatives
  • Sacred Valley: which towns reward staying, which are just passing
  • Lima's food scene: the ceviche, the Nikkei, and the restaurants worth the wait
  • Costs: permits, train tickets, and the high-season pricing trap
