We are a family of 3 (husband, 14 year old son, and myself). We were able to get the MP tickets on August 27 (the earliest available spots we can get this year).
day 1 arriving at Lima late at night from NJ.
day 2-4 Lima
day 5 fly from Lima to Cusco and then taxi to Ollantaytambo to acclimate; we may get a massage (we heard it is good and cheap)
day 6-8 Ollantaytambo (one day in town, one day trip to MP on August 27, another day trip to sacred valley including Urumamba, Moray, Maras and Chinchero)
day 9 taxi from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, first day acclimate
day 10-12 Cusco (one day in town, two separate day trips to Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay, and Pisac).
Day 13, fly from Cusco back to Lima and then back home, not staying overnight in Lima.
Questions:
any recommendations or feedbacks?
Can we fit Humantay Lake somewhere?
The end of trip is close to our son's back to school date. If it weren't for the altitude issue in Cusco, we would stay in Cusco and do all the day trips there first and then go to Ollantaytambo and MP, just to shift the entire trip earlier. However, my husband had a minor heart attack with blood clogs in January. He is fine now after surgery, but we would like to have a relaxing trip. That said, if we spend an extra day in Cusco to acclimate, would it be ok to stay in Cusco first?
