Why You´ll love the Machu Picchu Photography Tour 6 Days
This practical program covers quite a bit of ground every day. Some tourist days require a two to three-hour walk-in total. The pace is moderate; however, you will encounter uneven surfaces, stairs, steps, and significant slopes. When visiting Machu Picchu, please note that trekking poles are not allowed in some areas of the archaeological site; carry them in your day backpack. Trekking poles at the Machu Picchu archaeological site require a medical prescription. Also, selfie sticks are banned, and only foldable umbrellas are allowed. We get up early, at 5 or 6 am, to take a Machu Picchu Photography Tour for 6 Days. Cusco is 3350 meters – 11,000 feet above sea level and may be a consideration for those with heart problems or those affected by altitude. Before signing up for this excursion, we recommend you consult your doctor. Some hotels in Ollantaytambo, Aguas Calientes, and Cuzco build in the traditional local style without air conditioning; these hotels can get uncomfortable during heat waves, even at higher elevations.
