The Peruvian porters are called Quechuas, NOT Sherpas. The Quechuas take pride in their work supporting the tours. Sherpa is an ethnic group of people living in the Khumbu region of the Himalayas.

Wife and I visited Machu Picchu 15 years ago. Our tour started in Lima, a flight to Cusco where we stayed at a hotel for two nights. Our tour guide said this would make us acclimated to the altitude. He was right on! we arrived at Aguas Calientes for a two night stay. Next morning up early as the first group of visitors. Machu Picchu was a fantastic sight to see.We enjoyed the fact that the town was sparsely visited as we were the first bus up. We of course took many pictures and were able to explore the entire town. One thing they don't tell you is "Don't touch the llamas", they have fleas...... Great trip!!

@windowseatworldtravel 9 месяцев назад

I didn’t know about the fleas! But I think you got the itinerary just right - good idea to spend some time higher up in Cusco to get acclimated.

@kepckatherinec805 10 месяцев назад

I visited Peru, including Machu Picchu, during early May of 2016. My experience was flawless and fabulous. No issues with bumpy roads. The train was great! Bus ride up the windy road to Machu Picchu wasn’t harrowing. There are plenty of similar steep, narrow, winding roads right here in the US. I spent the whole day exploring the “village in the clouds”, except that there were no clouds that day, just brilliant sunshine. The tourist presence wasn’t excessive and all were well behaved. I was, and still am, in awe of the ruins and the views. Magnificent. The next morning, our group members had the option of rising at a leisurely time or taking a dawn trip back up the mountain. I chose dawn in Machu Picchu. Fewer visitors that early. At times I had portions of the ruins to myself. Best trip ever.

can you tell me which tour company i should use if I would like to fly from MN, stay a day or to in Lima, go to Cuzco and take the train and van up? Was going to go on an expedition but think now best to climb small climbs, take in more, take train up/down. Can I fly to Lima and book my own flight to C. Can you recommend a motel? The town below MP looks quaint too-any suggestions? I do not speak Spanish but am thinking about joining one of the well-known programs or intense study. I know February is best month to go so might go Feb 25 or maybe late fall of 2024. Thanks, kep805 and all! PS: Flight from MSP is 17-33 hours but found out one-stop to Lima is 9 hours and can handle that. How does everyone sit that long in a plane?

I was fortunate to visit Machu Picchu in the 80s and there were very few people there. I jogged up the mountain avoiding the switchbacks by using shortcut paths that went straight up the mountain. These paths were used by the young vendors who would follow the bus up and down the mountain by using the short cuts and sell various products to the people on the buses at each switchback.

I went in 2003, and I wanted to say that we had no trouble with the altitude. Cuzco is much higher, and we had already become acclimated to the reduced oxygen long before getting to Machu Picchu, which is about the same height as the unimpressive mountains east of my home. What was impressive was seeing how much higher the surrounding Andes were from Machu Picchu.

@windowseatworldtravel 10 месяцев назад

Good idea to spend some time acclimating in Cusco. It’ll definitely get you ready for MP!

@learntechwithruth2147 10 месяцев назад

I went in 2013, also a rainy day but that did nothing to dampen the experience. We stayed two nights in Aguascalientes overnight so it wasn’t too stressful. Nice Hostel with great hosts. This made the experience a lot more peaceful. You can go in the springs which we did and also get an Inca massage. That was wonderful. The 500 Inca steps on Machu Picchu were hard on me then as I had bad arthritis and needed help from my son in law and daughter who grabbed me one on each side. So practice your steps before heading there. Greatest experience for sure. They offer you coca tea so take advantage of that. I do not recommend for kids to go. Heard many stories of them getting altitude sickness. Also it’s easy to slip and fall up there. I was wondering just how many people fall to their death up there and they don’t report that. You never know. Great place though for sure.

@andreagriffiths3512 4 месяца назад

The baths at Agua Calientes were awesome. Went in ‘96 and there was a group of kids throwing a beach ball. They stopped as soon as us foreigners entered. One of the guys in our group, took the ball, tossed it to a few of us, and then lobbed it back to the kids - they got the message and we all joined in. The experience was vastly different than catching the tourist train in - we’d hiked for four days to get there. It was mindblowing! Got to see so much more and were blessed to see condors! And once you get to see the city for the first time before reaching it? Well, I cried. It was overwhelming. Well worth the sore knees and tiredness,

@aiszard 10 месяцев назад

MP is such an experience, I recommend 2 days if possible. On day 1 I left Cusco by train at 7 am (why drive for 2 hours to board train??) and got to Aqua Calientes around 9. Met tour guide and spent entire day at MP. Checked into hotel for night in AC and then arose before dawn on day 2 for first bus up to MP. I had ticket for early admittance to Huayna Picchu and hiked to top. Now THAT is unforgettable!!! I don’t understand why folks try to cram to/from and visit MP all in one day. Slow down folks and see the scenery.

@davidgoss28 10 месяцев назад

why all the moaning about altitude?. Machu Picchu is about the same altitude as Denver. Cuzco, on the other hand, at over 11,000 feet has some serious altitude…. So you take that train DOWN to Aguascalientes and MP. BTW the river you see at Aguascalientes starts In the hills behind Cuzco. And this same river continues north into Equador and then turns east at Iquitos and becomes the Amazon…

@chrismc8000 Год назад

Best to make a 5 day or so trip through the Sacred Valley from Cusco to Aqua Calientes. Since a day trip to Machu Picchu is limited 4 hours a day, it is best to stay overnight in Aqua Calientes and do Machu Picchu 2 days in a row. Lovely village with plenty of restaurants and guided nature walks. Visited during Feb and March and did not have a problem with rain or fog.

@JacobBennettNY 8 месяцев назад

wow memories! I was in Peru a few years ago. Machu Picchu is the most amazing place on the American continent! For me Peru is the most beautiful and diverse country in South America! I remember traveling through the mountains of Peru and then arriving at the Peruvian jungle to live the experience of ayahuasca, Peru is the country of origin, it was something important in my life. Thanks for the video.

@DivineFlamesRising 8 месяцев назад

It is a truly amazing place, on so many levels. I am here now (for a month), about to do my second ayahuasca ceremony since I arrived. The land and mountains are healing in and of themselves, but Grandmother Ayahuasca takes it to a whole other level. It is a "once in a lifetime experience" that I will have more than once. It is too special and too life-changing not to come back again. Machu Picchu is pure magic in the clouds, reminds me of Pandora from the movie Avatar. You have to experience it to understand....

@VaCha62 10 месяцев назад

The best way to visit Machu Picchu is to hike in over the Inca Trail, normally a 4 day hike, but we did in 3 days. It goes over a pass around 4300m. We camped above the clouds and on the last day descend down to Machu Picchu ideally to reach the Sun Gate for the "money" photo shot before the rabble arrive by bus, complaining how hard the bus ride up was. One can then take the bus down or walk and relax in the "Hot Springs" below before hopping on the train back. I believe the numbers allowed on the Inca Trail is now restricted and alternate trails provided.

@rh3749 10 месяцев назад

I stayed in Aguas Calientes overnight and took the second bus up to MP in the morning. It was summer and the early morning fog burned off for magnificent views from about 10 am onwards. The place wasn’t crowded in the early morning. I booked Huayna Picchu awhile before and climbed up with fhe first cohort. The afternoon was relaxed and gorgeous. I then descended and caught a late afternoon train to Ollantaytambo. Visited it the next day and those stone terraces where the indigenous peoples fought the Spaniards were amazing. Then I took an afternoon train to Cuzco for a flight to Lima. I would highly recommend doing it this way. It is more relaxed than your schedule. And it minimizes the time at super high altitude in Cuzco. I get altitude sickness.

We visited in early 2020, one of the last groups allowed before the COVID shutdown that "captured" our escort's next group in Cusco for a month. This video's hosts misrepresent the issue of altitude. Cusco is high - 11,000' to 12,600' while visiting the city and the archeological sites that overlook it. But, Machu Picchu is only 7,600', and Aguas Calientes is just 6,400'. We were in our early 70s and got most of our exercise from walking tours during travel - so, not really "fit." Yet, we had no trouble coming from our sea-level home to Peru and these elevations. We had a similar weather experience as the video but fewer people. Peru is getting more protective of this treasure - go as soon as you can as demand grows but capacity is more restricted. It is a wonder.

This is my dream vacation I am now 64 and the last 5 years I have been saying I want my grandchildren to go and I was just actually ready to make plans in 2 years because they will be 8 and 11 but after watching this I am calling my travel agent to see how soon is the best time to go in the next year so I have the time to prepare starting today! I was getting upset about your reporting but I am so appreciative that you showed it like you did because I’m finally doing this and I will be prepared I have been asking others but now I’m just thinking my hubby and I. Because I want to make sure we have time to make this trip enjoyable and stress free as possible. Thank you!!!

You need to go! Despite all the rules and all the cameras and chaos - it is so worth the trip! You will love it.

We took a helicopter from Cusco Airport to the base village and then a van ride up to the top. Took the train back for the full experience. And didn’t have to leave at 4am. The kicker, we had Manchu Picchu to ourselves for hours! Then the train with tourists arrived with the day tourists. Only way to go!

Machu Picchu, una de las maravillas del mundo moderno, es un destino fascinante que atrae a miles de visitantes cada año. Es crucial recordar la importancia de un turismo sostenible y respetuoso con el entorno natural y cultural de Machu Picchu. El cuidado del sitio arqueológico, el respeto a las normas y regulaciones, y el apoyo a las comunidades locales son aspectos esenciales para preservar este tesoro histórico para las futuras generaciones.

Another thing that people won't tell you about Machu Picchu is to stay overnight in Aguas Caliente on the day of your visit, because 99% of of the tourists are going to leave with the afternoon trains, and if you remain at the site after they leave, you'll find that you have nearly the entire site to yourself. When my wife and I visited with our daughter, we had a room in Aguas Caliente and we stayed after the other tourists left, so we shared Machu Picchu with perhaps 20 other people scattered across the entire area. (To be fair, we visited in 2009 and some of the attendance rules may have changed since then, so - always check the rules before going.)

I knew most of all those things before I visited Macho Picho in 2016. We stayed in Ollytatumbo in order to avoid the bumpy, early morning bus from Cusco. It is a lovely village surrounded by Inca and prior civilizations' ruins.

You should have stayed the night in Ollantaytambo for the evening and then taken the train the next day. It is much more relaxing than trying to cram it all into one day. I spent the evening there and then two full days in Machu Picchu. I caught the early bus up the mountain on the second day because I had a ticket to climb Wayna Picchu, which is the traingular shaped mountain that looks down on Machu Picchu. It was physically demanding but worth every step. I think so many people make the mistake of trying to fit Machu Picchu into a short time frame. I had the run of the place in the late afternoon because so many of the visitors leave by early afternoon to catch the outbound train. For those who might be going, give yourself a day and a half at least. It's not every day that you get to marvel at an ancient city in the clouds. As for elevation, if you have been in Cuzco then the altitude at Macchu Picchu will be no issue as it is about 3000' lower. It's still 7900' but not nearly as high as other locations in Peru. Oh, and remember, bottled water, no ice, and no uncooked vegetables including lettuce on hamburgers. Don't ask me how I know.

@apenza4304 9 месяцев назад

The mountainous terrain you see on the train ride from Cuzco to Manchu Picchu gives one the impression that you are climbing to a higher altitude when in reality if you look at the rivers in the ravines adjacent to the railway tracks they are all flowing downhill in the direction toward your destination.

@windowseatworldtravel 9 месяцев назад

That is correct!
