If you plan to do a multi-day trek to Machu Picchu you will likely want to prepare physically and mentally for the rugged Andes and high altitude you will encounter.
The majority of our treks are over 10 miles long (16km) and take place at altitudes between 6,000ft (1,828m) and 15,000ft (4,572m). Being physically prepared for a trek will better enable you to appreciate the natural beauty that Peru has to offer, rather than dreading the next mile of hiking!
We've put together a few recommendations below of how you can train for a trek. However, if you have any physical limitations or major concerns you should always consult your doctor.
And if hiking isn't for you, we have incredible tours to Machu Picchu by train as well trips to other amazing destinations.
