FAQs

What is the best time to visit Cusco?

Cusco can be visited throughout the year, but if you want to travel during the best time, we recommend going between the months of April to October. During this period, the probability of rain is low, making the mountains appear more majestic and bathed in ample sunlight.

What important details should I know about the Full Day?

The Full Day is offered in a shared service setting. The maximum capacity will be 15 people per group, where the guidance is exclusively for passengers taking part in this program. With the exception of transfers by train and tourist bus to Machu Picchu, which are detailed below:
