Machu Picchu for Seniors, thoughtfully organized

Frequently asked questions
Before you book
Is Machu Picchu suitable for seniors?
Yes, for travelers in good general health who can walk 2–3 hours with rests. There are steps and uneven paths, but no climbing is required.
Why not start in Cusco?
Cusco is higher. Sleeping first in the Sacred Valley gives your body time to adapt before you visit the city.
