Peru
Even experienced travelers occasionally make small planning mistakes when visiting Peru. Avoiding these common issues will make your trip much smoother.
Going straight to Cusco
Travelers often feel altitude symptoms if they fly directly into Cusco and stay there immediately. Spending your first nights in the Sacred Valley helps the body acclimatize more comfortably.
Waiting too long to buy Machu Picchu tickets
Tickets to Machu Picchu frequently sell out weeks in advance.
Trying to see too much in too little time
Peru rewards slower travel. Allowing time to enjoy the Sacred Valley, Cusco, and the Amazon creates a far richer experience.
