I did a solo trip in machu pichu/peru in Septerber of 2024. It was very expensive to do it by train, maybe it would be less if I walked the path into it. The experience was marvelous, I don't have many words to use for it, ir was amazing, all the history and the views, I recommend very much get an guide to visit machu pichu. I didn't got one and missed it too much. I felt safe the hole time, in the train the bus, até the restaurants, the arts gallery.

Great place to go and meet about the Cuzco ‘s History, the view of Machu Picchu is beautiful, the weather is great friendly people, and warm environment I took different tours everyday, I stayed in the place around a week, there are so many activities to do like driving motorcycles in the mountain, visit great Incas museums, city tours of the capital which is Cuzco. The food is good and the markets are cheaper in the same Cuzco town than other places like Machu Picchu. I felt safe around the streets. The streets are full of foreign people.

Machu Picchu takes your breath away. I got sick there and spent one day in bed. I recommend taking medicine or trying local herbs for altitude sickness.

I have completed the Inca Trail. What made it difficult for me was the altitude. There was one day that amazed me when I reached the camp in the evening. After a rest and dinner, I was ready to continue. I recommend staying in Cuzco for a few days to acclimate to the altitude.
