I enjoyed a remarkable trip to MachuPicchu several years ago. Two very important points I would like to stress:
Be sure to arrange your trip to include a local, reputable organizer/guide. Besides the complicated logistics of getting there, my understanding is that the authorities now have limited admission reservations to control crowds. You want to be guaranteed you have a spot!
No matter what, allow time in your schedule to acclimate to the altitude. We were a small group that flew in together the day before our visit. Those first 24 hours were BRUTAL for me and several others. I barely got thru the night and finally felt human again the next day. Two of our group had to be hospitalized and never made it to the site! Allow your body the time to adapt and take advantage of oxygen if needed and the green leaves/tea whenever offered (you’ll find out…😉!)
Be safe and enjoy!
