Cusco is a beautiful Andean city of Inca stonework under Spanish baroque, the base for the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. At 11,000 feet it demands acclimatization — and rewards it with one of the world’s great bucket-list sites.

Charging straight to high-altitude hikes on arrival — spend your first day or two acclimatizing in the Sacred Valley (which is lower) before Cusco and the climbs.
Last-minute Machu Picchu plans — entry tickets (and the train) are capped and timed; book months ahead, especially for Huayna Picchu.
The dry season (May–September) means clear trails and reliable train service; the wet season (roughly November–March) brings mud, cloud, and the Inca Trail’s February closure.
Munduva is free for your whole group — pick the dates together, build the plan, and split the costs.
