The most frequently asked question we get is about the best time to visit Machu Picchu and/or to hike the inca trail - keeping in mind the weather and the crowds (if you want to try to visit when there are fewer people). Start planning your trip to Peru with our month-by-month guide...including our recommendations based on our extensive 15+ years’ experience.

In 2021, the Inca Trail remained closed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though the Short Inca Trail has been available for longer, since 15 July 2021 it has re-opened the Classic 4-Day Ica Trail hike at a 50% limited capacity. There was little notice, but now we have a better idea of how to book the Inca Trail right now.
We are very grateful to be featured in a new travel article on FORBES today - “Here Are The Best Places To Travel After COVID-19” by Christopher Elliott.
Many people are itching to get traveling again and this article features not only your next best potential travel destinations (including Peru!) but lots of helpful advice and tips for traveling safely as lockdowns are lifting and more and more people have the vaccine.
Super excited to now also be working with Context Travel and hosting virtual tours and seminar sessions!
