A must-see in your lifetime: Machu Picchu.

The "Lost City of the Incas" Machu Picchu is like a mysterious old dream that attracts countless people. I just returned from this adventure, and now I'm sharing this super practical guide with you! Preparation - Visa: You can check the Peruvian Embassy in China website for information on tourist visa applications. Prepare your passport, photos, proof of employment, and other materials. Apply 1–2 months in advance to avoid delays. - Health: Get vaccinated against yellow fever, typhoid, and other diseases 1–2 weeks before departure. You can also prepare common medicines such as anti-altitude sickness medicine, stomach medicine, and cold medicine. - Luggage: Choose lightweight, breathable, and warm clothes to cope with the changeable weather. A pair of comfortable hiking shoes is essential. Bring high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, a sun hat, rain gear, a power bank, etc. Itinerary 1. Arrive in Cusco: You can transfer from Lima or fly directly from Santiago, Chile to Cusco. When you first arrive at a high altitude, slow down, avoid strenuous exercise, and let your body adapt to the environment. 2. Go to Ollantaytambo: Take a car from Cusco to Ollantaytambo. Search for car rental information on major travel platforms in advance, compare reviews, and choose a reliable provider. Check into a hotel and have a good rest. 3. Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes: Book a train ticket to Aguas Calientes on the Perurail website. If you want to experience the Belmond train, stay in Urubamba in the Sacred Valley. It is close to the boarding point and has many accommodation and food options. 4. Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu: After arriving in Aguas Calientes, take the official shuttle bus for 25 minutes along the winding mountain road to the entrance of Machu Picchu. Travel Tips 1. Tickets: Machu Picchu tickets are divided into different time slots and types. Be sure to buy them in advance on the official website or a reputable platform. Book at least 1–2 months in advance during peak season. 2. Season: The Chinese New Year holiday is the rainy season in Peru, so there are fewer tourists. You may encounter changeable weather, so remember to bring rain gear and check the weather forecast in advance. 3. Sun protection: The ultraviolet rays are strong in the plateau area, so be sure to take sun protection measures. High SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential. 4. Accommodation: Hotels in Ollantaytambo are cost-effective, and Aguas Calientes is close to the scenic area, making it convenient to enter the park early to watch the sunrise. Choose according to your itinerary and budget. 5. Food: In Cusco and the towns along the way, be sure to try the local specialties such as roasted guinea pig, ceviche, and Peruvian fried rice.
