In reply to Eamonn Doyle. Hi Eamonn, yes, heading straight to the Sacred Valley is a good bet for better acclimatisation. Cusco shouldn't be missed though so definitely try leave a day or two for it. All the best!

Hi Mark.
I had a triple by pass 3 years ago and feel fine. i walk 10 km a day. I would love to visit macchu pucchi and i am concerned that higher altitude will effect my heart. Would it be better/safer to land in Cusco and then head down straight to aguas calientes . i plan on staying two nights there then heading back to Lima via Cusco the next day. Thus avoiding a long duration in Cusco arriving and departing .
Appreciate your fine article.

I’m looking to hike Macchu Pucchu next summer 2023. Looking for a reliable trekking company and some rates for the trek and how and when to reserve the trip. Any help is appreciated.

In reply to Terri L Ell. Yes, you can visit both sites in a single day. The Huchuy Qosco is a good hike. All the best!

Hi,
Is it possible to see Ollantaytambo and Moray ruins in a day? What is a good hike in the Sacred Valley. We'll be trekking the Camino Inca Trail in the middle of our stay.

Thank you,
Terri

In reply to Heather Silverman.

Hi Heather, thanks for getting in touch. There are so many great cultural things to do in the Cusco region. I would spend a full day or two visiting the main sites of Cusco. There are many fantastic museums and markets in Cusco, see here for ideas: https://www.machupicchutrek.net/things-to-do-in-cusco/.

In the Sacred Valley, I recommend visiting Chinchero (which is a traditional Peruvian weaving centre), Ollantaytambo fortress, Pisac Market (famous for arts and crafts, as well as traditional food), and Pisac archaeological site (an impressive Inca Ruin). If there is time you might also visit the ruins at Sacsayhuaman.

Finally, no trip to Cusco is complete without a visit to Machu Picchu.

Hope this helps!
