Peak season is Jul.-Aug. with generally dry days and cool nights. Short showers are common throughout the year and the citadel is often surrounded by fog, a reason we recommend scheduling two visits to capture the perfect photo. Nov.-Apr. is the rainy season; however, many people visit during this time to avoid the heaviest crowds. Jan.-Feb. are the wettest months and mountain passes and roads may close suddenly due to flooding. The Inca Trail is closed for maintenance every Feb. Sunscreen and bug repellent are recommended year-round. • Transportation & Geography: Machu Picchu can only be accessed from Aguas Calientes, the small village near the base of the ruins that can be reached by train from either Poroy Station (near Cuzco) or Ollanta Station (Sacred Valley). Your visit can be organized as a day-trip from either location, or give yourself the luxury of time by overnighting. Shuttle buses to the ruins from town run frequently from 5:00 am to 5:30 pm. We recommend flying to Cuzco and heading straight to the Sacred Valley for a night to acclimate at a lower altitude. After Machu Picchu, spend a few nights exploring the Inca capital of Cuzco before continuing to Lake Titicaca, the Amazonas region, or back to Lima. • Luggage: Trains have a strict one carry-on bag policy. Pack an overnight bag and store your extra luggage in the Sacred Valley or Cuzco. • Permits: Inca Trail permits sell out months ahead of time. Advance purchase is required for entrance to Machu Picchu, with an additional permit to hike the formidable Wayna Picchu mountain. Passport information required to confirm.

I 63 7/11/14 7:06 AM peru lake titicaca planning information Planning tips for Lake Titicaca: • Climate: Pleasant and sunny days Crafting blankets Puno to TRAVEL TIMES around 60°F from Feb.-Nov., with rainfall during Dec.-Jan. Nights are generally at or below freezing with the coolest period from May-Sep. As Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, it's best to relax on your first day and acclimate to the altitude. • Geography: Puno is the gateway to breathtaking Lake Titicaca. The bustling city can often feel hectic with dizzying traffic, which is why we recommend staying at one of our tranquil lakeside hotels. Titicaca straddles the border of Peru and Bolivia and it is easy to cross between the two countries and see both sides. • Transportation: Puno can be reached in several ways. Our favorite is the luxury train ride from Cuzco which operates Mon., Wed., and Sat. yearround, as well as Fri. from May-Oct. Flights to nearby Juliaca airport or comfortable coach buses to Puno are also good alternatives.
