In reply to Maggie Gallagher. January is not the greatest month for visiting Machu Picchu as it's in the middle of the rainy season. The citadel is open though so you can go in January.

In reply to husain. Hi Husain, unfortunately I don't live in Peru and haven't done so since 2013. I suggest contacting a local tour operator like Peru Treks, Wayki Treks or Inkayni Peru Treks. All the best!

I just wish to comment that taking the 4-day hike to Machu Picchu back in May of 2019, while quite strenuous, was the most incredible physical accomplishment of my life. I was 68 at the time, and had been turned down by one hiking company for age, and the 2nd had a limit of 69, so I am so glad I booked when I did, as I turned 69 just one month later! I have hiked many mountains in my life, but the combination of ancient history, Inca culture, and having a wonderful group (including the guide and porters) was a cultural experience not to be missed! I might have been the oldest guy on the trail those 4 days, but the younger people in my group, and my guide, Franco, gave me encouragement on the steep climbs, and made the overall trip so much more enjoyable. Franco also told us much along the trail, about the birds, the landscape, and history. While anyone can take the bus up the winding road to Machu Picchu, to real experience is to take the 4-day hike, camping along the route. Outstanding experience! Terry Mindham
