  1. Hi, Excellent article! I only have one doubt .. they gave me an information that every February of each year the entrance to the Inca trail is suspended for maintenance reasons .. that is true ???
    Check with an agency https://www.apumayo.com/en/ and they replied that it was not possible.
    Please if you have any answer on this information … because we plan to make the route to the Inca Trail for that time of year.

    Thanks for the reply.

      Hey there! It’s been a few years since I’ve hiked the Inca Trail, so things definitely change. But it does look like it closes down for February to take care of maintenance and make things safe for future hikers. This article provides some pretty good info: https://www.tourinperu.com/february-closing-of-inca-trail

    Machu Picchu is a must see when you visit Peru. It’s 1 hour or so by plane outside Lima in the town of Cusco. Prepare yoursef prior to arriving Cuzco due to it’s 10,950 or so feet above see level altitude that would give some people a so called “mountain sickness” short of breath, headache, nausea etc..me & my friends got sick and did not enjoy the first day of our tour. Machu Picchu’s altitude was less than Cuzco so we have had a great time exploring this amazing, wonderful rich of history Incan site. It’s worth the visit and would do it all over again inspite of the altitude sickness.

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
