¿Es seguro viajar a Machu Picchu?

Es común que los viajeros tengan dudas sobre la seguridad al visitar un destino tan icónico como Machu Picchu. Como expertos en turismo en Machu Picchu, nos complace abordar esta preocupación en nuestro blog especializado, para ayudar a los posibles visitantes a tomar una decisión informada antes de su viaje a Perú.

En términos generales, Machu Picchu es un destino seguro para los turistas. El gobierno peruano y las autoridades locales trabajan constantemente para garantizar la seguridad de los visitantes y preservar el patrimonio cultural y natural del lugar. Sin embargo, como en cualquier destino turístico, es importante tomar algunas precauciones y estar informado para disfrutar de una experiencia segura y agradable.

Algunas recomendaciones de seguridad para viajar a Machu Picchu incluyen:

Contratar servicios de guías y agencias autorizadas: Al planificar tu visita, asegúrate de contratar guías turísticos y agencias de viajes autorizadas y confiables. Esto garantizará que recibas información precisa, servicios de calidad y, lo más importante, que tu experiencia sea segura.
Mantener tus pertenencias seguras: Aunque Machu Picchu es generalmente seguro, siempre es recomendable estar atento a tus pertenencias y no dejarlas desatendidas. Utiliza una mochila o bolso con cierre y evita llevar objetos de valor innecesarios.
Prepararte para la altitud: Machu Picchu se encuentra a una altitud de 2.430 metros (7.972 pies) sobre el nivel del mar. Para evitar el mal de altura o "soroche", es aconsejable aclimatarse en la ciudad de Cusco durante al menos un par de días antes de tu visita y mantenerse hidratado durante tu estadía.
Respetar las normas y señalizaciones: Al visitar el sitio arqueológico, sigue las señales y las indicaciones de los guías para garantizar tu seguridad y la preservación del lugar. No te salgas de los senderos establecidos y evita acercarte demasiado a los bordes de las terrazas.
Prepararte para las condiciones climáticas: El clima en Machu Picchu puede ser impredecible. Lleva ropa y calzado adecuado para la lluvia y el sol, y no olvides usar protector solar, gafas de sol y un sombrero para protegerte de la radiación solar.

En resumen, Machu Picchu es un destino seguro si se toman las precauciones adecuadas y se sigue la orientación de los expertos locales. Al hacerlo, los viajeros pueden disfrutar plenamente de esta maravillosa experiencia y llevarse recuerdos inolvidables de su visita a Perú.

Excellent

We stayed one night there and really the service has been exceptional. I have nothing but good words for the establishment. We stayed in a suite which was excellent! It had a jacuzzi. Breakfast very good. The staff is always attentive. And the restaurant is a luxury. We took the 4-step menu and it has been spectacular. I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Unforgettable

I went to Machupicchu with family and stayed at the Casa Del Sol hotel again. The hotel is just beautiful. There have been renovations since I was last there, the dining room is beautiful and crisp! An absolute delight to dine in. But the best part of the hotel is the people. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure we have every need attended to! The staff welcomed us back like old friends, and even helped us celebrate my mother's birthday with a bottle of wine! We stayed for 2 nights, but we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the rooms and the spa.

Beautiful Hotel in Aguascalientes

I loved staying at the hotel so much! As soon as we got off our bus we were greeted by very friendly staff and walked less than 100 meters to the hotel. Their food is amazing and staying in this hotel is so relaxing, especially after a day spent in Machu Picchu. Every single one of the staff is so friendly and makes sure you are as comfortable and happy as you can be. I especially loved how the hotel was just next to the river and the beautiful rooms they provided. I hope I can go back someday!
