How complicated is the hike we will havein the 2-Day Cusco to Machu Picchu Bus Tour?

The geography that the place presents to us is light, because we do not have sections of slopes or descents. It is flat in its greatest extension, which if it is quite extensive, for this reason we must be prepared for a long walk.

What are the best travel seasons for 2-Day Cusco to Machu Picchu Bus Tour?

Due to the climate that we present in the region, it is ideal that our trip is planned between the months of March and September since in these months the rain is less frequent and therefore the access road between Santa Teresa and Hidroeléctrica is safer. During the remaining months or the rainy season, it is more frequent to see how there are landslides along the way, therefore it is not entirely recommended.

How much is the average walk ?

On average, the walk lasts a period of 2 to 3 hours, this can always vary according to the physical performance that each participant has. It is always recommended to have a slight previous experience in walks or to practice precisely some short routes in the country of origin of each person so that they do not have inconveniences.

Can I add a visit to the Huayna Picchu mountain to my cusco to machu picchu bus tour?

Yes, it is possible to add the Huayna Picchu mountain experience on the second day, since after the adrenaline we had on the tour and the relaxing night in the thermal baths, it is more than double the amount that we can ascend the Huayna Picchu mountain.
