Local insider tips
• Acclimatise to altitude in Cusco for a day or two before strenuous treks. Carry soles for small towns, and book Machu Picchu tickets months ahead — daily visitor numbers are capped. • Ask your guide about local etiquette and lesser-known spots — a respectful curiosity often opens doors most travellers miss.
