Alternative tours to visit Machu Picchu
At what altitude is Machu Picchu?
Machu Picchu, the famous Inca city, is located at 2,430 meters above sea level, while Cusco, from where most tours depart, is at a higher altitude, at 3,399 meters. This surprises some travelers who think that Machu Picchu, being between mountains, would be higher.
To better adapt to the altitude, some prefer to spend the first night in Ollantaytambo, from where you can take a train to Machu Picchu and reduce the impact of the altitude. Those visiting the Inca city are advised to rest, eat well and not rush, to avoid altitude sickness and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
