Experiencing Peru’s Machu Picchu in 1 Day

Everyone tells you that you need to book WAY in advance to do Machu Picchu (MP).  You also never really hear about doing anything except the typical 4 day trek.  We didn’t make the time for that, so we did it in 1 day using trains and buses.  There’s also an option to do it in 2 days using a car (the road the car uses is longer than the train tracks).  We also didn’t book until a few days in advance. ​

​Rainbow Mountain is very beautiful (see some photos below), and it only takes 1 day to see.  I suggest going for the scenery even though there will be a lot of tourists and the hike is difficult because of the altitude.  What I don’t know about is Red Valley.  Keep reading for what I do know about it, but if you’re thinking about doing Rainbow Mountain, Google Red Valley first and see if it’s something you’d prefer to do.

Manu National Park is part of the Amazon located in Peru.  It includes diverse ecosystems such as lowland rainforests, cloud forests and Andean grasslands.  There is a cultural region where you see some wildlife but not a ton, and there’s a reserve area where you supposedly see a little more wildlife.  There aren’t a lot of tourists in Manu, so while you’ll see a few other groups, it isn’t swarming with gringos.  I didn't exactly love it though... to put it nicely.

We mainly used Cusco as a base for excursions.  We spent very little time in the actual city of Cusco, which I regret.  It seemed like a cute little town, and it had some really beautiful buildings.  There’s a free walking tour that we didn’t get to go on, but next time I’d like to. ​
