@Trvljunky's Top Tips
"Wander off the main streets to get amazing views and unexpected encounters."
@Trvljunky's Top Tips
"Be respectful when photographing people and young children. Sometimes a behind shot is more effective and protects the unsuspecting."
What do you love most about Cusco?

@Trvljunky's Top Tips

What do you get to see along the trek?
"Depending on how long you pick (4 or 5 days), you will still get to visit Salkantay summit, Lake Humantay and the stunning views throughout the trek."
Benefits of a tour guide for Salkantay Trek Peru
"Due to the altitude, having a guide is really important. Knowing there is someone with experience to guide you along makes you feel at ease. Bonus - the chef will make fun lunches like this!"
Must pack items for Salkantay Trek Peru
"Layers and lots of them! Depending on what time of the year you go, it can get very cold at night and when hiking. Having layers means you can strip down when hiking so you don't get too hot or cold."

Part time teacher and budget traveller! Last year I quit my job to travel around South America and could not have loved it anymore! I'm happiest when discovering new places.
What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"I think this is somewhere on almost everyone's list. I loved seeing it in person and learning about the Incas and the history of Machu Picchu. The clouds gave it such a mysterious feel that I loved!"
Benefits of a tour guide for Machu Picchu
"There is SO much to learn about this astonishing place. An experienced guide will explain to you why the Incas built this city in the mountains and answer all your questions about it!"
@_emmaexplores's Top Tips
"Unless you're already on a tour, try to get the earliest ticket to visit here to get fewer crowds. Be patient with the crowds and take in the beauty around you. And remember, everyone is trying to get the perfect picture!"

What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"Explore one of the best sights in all of South America – Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the modern world."
How did I get there?
"I took the train from Wanchaq (Cusco) to Aguas Caliente. I enjoyed the natural scenery as I journeyed through the lush valleys and past rugged peaks, following the course of the Urubamba River."
Benefits of a tour guide for Machu Picchu
"A lot of solo travellers just like me who showed up at the entrance without a guide. Don’t be shy and make friends and hire a guide together. Guided tour lasted about 3hrs depending which circuit. "
What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"The fascinating history, extraordinary architectural works of Incas and spectacular scenery. Machu Picchu on a clear day is breathtaking."

I love travelling and sharing experiences. My destiny is not a place, it's a new way of looking at life. Definitely I’m a wanderlust…
@travelphotos_tom's Top Tips
"Visit Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu before, even Lake Titicaca and Colca Valley, if you are going to visit that area, to acclimatize to the altitude (5.000 mt. approx)."
@travelphotos_tom's Top Tips
"Don't waste too much time if there is a queue at the base of the mountain. The best photos are with the animals and on the mountain in front of you."
@travelphotos_tom's Top Tips
"If you can, talk to your guide about going to the Red Valley. It is not very physically demanding and the experience is incredible."
What do you love most about Vinicunca Peru - Rainbow Mountain?
"The experience is unique, there are no tourists and the hike and views are incredible."

What do you love most about Machu Picchu?
"A visit to Machu Picchu is a must. It's probably the most famous destination in Peru and without a doubt one of my favourites to explore. If you're a fan of hiking, this one's for you. "
Jack Heilman's Top Tips
"Visit during the dry and quiet season, between April and May. It's less crowded during this time, but you may bump into the odd llama! "
