In this episode I start the series about visiting Machu Picchu in which I talk about the best times of the year and day to visit as well as if you should hire a guide. I also try to give a little clarity to the confusing routes that visitors must choose from when visiting the site. I also talk about the rising spread of COVID in Peru as well as potential travel disruptions that could be coming this week thanks to strikes and protests.
