Unforgettable Machu Picchu & Cusco Tours, Crafted by Locals

Arrive in Cusco at least 24–48 hours before high-altitude hikes. Drink plenty of water, sip coca tea, eat light meals, and avoid strenuous exercise on your first day.

The dry season runs from May to October, offering clear blue skies. Shoulder months (April and November) also offer great weather with greener landscapes and fewer crowds.

For the Inca Trail or peak-season Machu Picchu tickets, book 3 to 6 months ahead due to government daily permit limits. Day tours can be booked 1 to 2 weeks in advance.

You must present your original physical passport (or national DNI for Andean community citizens). The document number must strictly match your reservation permit.

We accept all major Visa, Mastercard, and Amex credit/debit cards via secure online payment gateways, PayPal, and direct bank wire transfers without hidden fees.

Most hotels and hostels in Cusco store your main suitcases safely for free. You can also store extra luggage securely in our Tayra Tours central office at no extra cost.

Bring comfortable hiking boots, layered clothing (fleece + thermal), a waterproof windbreaker, hat, sunglasses, sunblock, insect repellent, and a refillable water bottle.

Yes! Our mountain chefs prepare delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive meals with fresh local ingredients at zero extra surcharge.

Moderate fitness is ideal. Treks involve 5–7 hours of hiking per day on mountain terrain. Going at your own pace and staying well acclimatized is the real key to success.

Highly recommended! Comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency medical assistance, trip interruption, and hiking up to 5,000m provides complete peace of mind.
