£401+ Cheap flights to Machu Picchu

Whether you’re joining the ambitious backpackers eager to reach the summit during the dry season or you’re braving the chilly rains in exchange for a seat on a cheap flight to Machu Picchu, there’s no wrong time to travel to Peru’s most sought after attraction.  Peak Season: The dry season is the busiest travel time in Machu Picchu, so flights to Machu Picchu should be made months in advance in order to secure a seat.  Off-peak Season:  Tourists tend to avoid the Inca Trail between the months of November and March due to the inclement weather, making cheap flights to Machu Picchu widely available thanks to the lull in tourism.

Machu Picchu, the nearly 600 year-old Incan ruins of the Urabamba Valley, is the driving force behind Peruvian tourism as the feet of hundreds of thousands of visitors traverse its steep trails each year. Machu Picchu is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and concerns regarding the wear and tear of the ruins have been raised and have initiated laws creating a no fly zone over the area and stipulating strict codes when it comes to building hotels and bridges that could affect the well-being of the structure.  Take a detour after your flight to Machu Picchu lands and explore Cuzco as soon as you clear customs. Historically celebrated as the capital of the Incan Empire, Cuzco is home to Coricancha, the Incan temple to Inti, the Sun God, and Inca Wasi.  Looking for something to watch while you’re packing for your flight to Machu Picchu? Rent “The Motorcycle Diaries” –the major motion picture adaptation of Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s diary from his epic journey through Latin America. Machu Picchu is prominently featured in the film and was a life-changing point of inspiration for Guevara, and Gael García Bernal excellently portrays this as the man whose face would later become a symbol for revolution and Latin American pride.  Lima, the Peruvian capital, is most likely where the first leg of your flight to Machu Picchu will land. Spend a day or two before your return Machu Picchu flight exploring Lima’s crowded streets, which are home to treasure-trove museums and gorgeous 18th century churches.
