14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO TO CUSCO AND MACHU PICCHU
April or September to November to be the sweet spot for visiting. It’s just out of the high tourist season but the rainy season hasn’t gotten into full swing just yet. Its between two seasons and it does not get really wet or dry.
WHAT TO BRING TO MACHU PICCHU
Whether you’re visiting for a day trip , you’ll want to pack carefully for your day in Machu Picchu. Buying snacks and supplies in either Cusco or once you arrive is super expensive, so the better prepared you are, the more you’ll save.
Your passport & entry ticket: This seems obvious, but trust us, it’s not. Don’t forget these extremely important items!
14. Camera: Machu Picchu is stunning, so don’t forget to pack a camera for that once-in-a-lifetime shot! We recommend bringing a tiny, lightweight GoPro – the wide panoramic angle is perfect for the sweeping wide-angle shots of Machu Picchu. Our other fave is the Canon Powershot. It’s the perfect lightweight, hike-friendly camera that takes amazing photos while still fitting comfortably into your pocket.
