Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain
Arrive in Cusco and descend immediately to the Sacred Valley to acclimatize, then visit Machu Picchu, and finally climb Rainbow Mountain.
Upon landing in Cusco, head straight down to the lower-altitude Sacred Valley, which makes acclimatizing to the highlands much easier than staying in the historic center first. Spend two days exploring ruins and salt mines, enter Machu Picchu via Aguas Calientes, and then return to Cusco. Rainbow Mountain is scheduled for the end of the trip when your body has fully adapted. This is perfect for first-time visitors with limited vacation time; the trade-off is skipping Puno and Arequipa.
During the rainy season, Rainbow Mountain can be covered in snow or obscured by clouds; May to September offers the most stable weather.
