- This tour requires a lot of walking to see the sights, which can be a tough hike if you are hiking the short Inca Trail. This tour is recommended for those in good physical shape. Please bring comfortable walking shoes. For more information, see the Packing’s suggestion in the Travel Basics section.
- In many places you will have very basic accommodation. This included homestay in rural Peru, an Amazonian eco-lodge.

This route is one-way only, and once the guided tour has begun, no exits or entrances are permitted. After the guided tour, visitors must leave the site and are not allowed to explore Machu Picchu privately. For more information, please see the itinerary.

The recommendation of this list is based on the previous comments of our customers, especially if you intend to do the Inca Trail, Please consider the suggestions we give you here, but feel free to pack as you wish and consider that the weather may be different depending on the period of the year you want to travel and its different microclimates that it has for the different geographical regions.
Packing
Most travelers prefer small to medium wheeled suitcases that are large enough for our private cars. Whatever you bring, keep in mind that you need to be able to carry your luggage, handle it at the airport, get in/out of your accommodation and possibly even walk short distances.
